In addition to Hatchi, Pebble is heading to GDC to announce two popular smartphone games, Mr. Runner and Icon Pop Quiz, are now available in the appstore. The former (shown above) is a side-scrolling runner game in which you have to avoid getting squashed by walls that come crashing down; the latter is, well, a quiz that features visual clues.

So why does a smartwatch company like Pebble have so much interest in a gaming conference? "We're excited to see what games can be created on the platform," evangelist Myriam Joire tells us. "Our goal at GDC is to build awareness with game studios that Pebble is a cool platform on which to develop mini and casual games." While Pebble boasts over 2,000 apps in the appstore, it views games as an "emerging category," implying that the company feels a need to strengthen its selection. The good news is that at least clones of Flappy Bird and Tetris seem to be thriving in this ecosystem (they're two of the top three games in the appstore), so perhaps all Pebble needs is a few more recognizable titles to give it the boost in gaming that it's hoping for.
