DENVER, Aug. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- SPYR, INC. (OTC Pink: SPYR), a holding company with wholly owned subsidiaries in the mobile game & app development and publishing industry, today provides its shareholders with a highlight of its plan of operations.

This press release includes highlights from our recently filed quarterly report for those who may not have reviewed that report in its entirety. Please refer to that quarterly report for the complete text of our plan of operations.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. Our primary focus continues to be on the development, expansion and acquisition of mobile games and applications, including Pocket Starships and Steven Universe®: Tap Together.

During the first half of 2019, the original developer the Company was working with on Steven Universe®: Tap Together was unable to continue its work on the game resulting in some stagnation and loss of users. The Company recently contracted with a new developer to continue supporting, updating and expanding the game. Under this new arrangement, Company management believes that the game will begin to realize its potential and generate revenue.

The Company is actively seeking out additional games and apps to acquire or publish, and recently identified a mobile game asset as a potential acquisition. The Company is currently negotiating an asset purchase agreement with the owner, and is also negotiating a term sheet with a lender to fund the acquisition. Based on the historical performance information for the game provided by the Seller, management believes that this acquisition will provide increased revenues and cash flow in the future.

Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to build upon this foundation and focus our efforts on marketing and optimizing user acquisition and retention. We will also continue to utilize the services of game developers for further development, enhancement and maintenance of the games as needed to meet the needs of the users and maximize revenue into the future. In addition to our plans for Pocket Starships and Steven Universe®: Tap Together, we will continue to seek additional games and apps to publish as we strive to broaden our range of products and increase revenues and operating cash flows.
