Moblyng began as a slide show creation service and has since changed its focus toward becoming a developer and publisher of cross-platform HTML5 social games. The company had two HTML5 titles live on the Facebook Mobile Platform and mobile web. In January 2012, the company shut down and laid off all 20 of its employees.
