Chillingo alternatives?

[emc2r]

I am trying to identify a iPhone Casual Game publisher. Apart from Chillingo, I don't see any other publishers ( like Gameloft Bigfishgames) publishing Casual games. Do you know of any?

Cheers!

Due to the low barrier to the AppStore, I'm curious why you're looking for a publisher? PR?

It's mostly for PR. There's a similar thread going on in the indiegamer forums:

Yep. Checked them out. They require us to use the Mobage or Plus+ platform which we are not using.

[emc2r]

Thanks.

[emc2r]

Sure. Will check it out.

My experience of self publishing have not been fruitful. I did a math and found that going with publishers gives me an edge over Time and Effort Spent and Return.
I talked to a few PR guys, who want to take $X upfront, and don't give a minimum guarantee/refund. That's not making any sense to me.

There is a low barrier to entry, but that also means there is far more content than a player could browse through. Therefore you need to do marketing, and lots of it. I would rather spend my time developing rather than marketing, so I'm looking for a publisher.

Future Games of London are another option.
