Userplane has announced the availability of online two-player games within the Userplane Webmessenger instant messaging platform. Users can now play games right from the IM window.

Userplane Webmessenger users have their choice of four two-player games: Fruit Mixup, a popular “match three� puzzle game; Seabattle, a game in which users try to locate the position of battleships; Truth, a question-and-answer game designed to help two people get to know each other; and Trivia, which tests trivia buffs’ brainpower.

“Userplane is always looking for ways to enhance online user interaction. These new two-player games offer users a fun and safe way to interact with each other,� said Michael Jones, CEO of Userplane and vice president of AOL.

Users of the free, ad-supported Userplane Webmessenger client can now play these games on their current instant messaging client. For larger online communities that do not use the ad-supported version of Webmessenger, site administrators can choose to turn on the online gaming feature for their users.

The games are powered by Bunchball, who has a non-exclusive partnership with Userplane. Userplane will most likely be opening up value-added features powered by other vendors to enhance the core Userplane products.

Bunchball recently raised $2 million. Here’s the Bunchballl presentation from iDate.

Spark Networks have enabled the gaming feature for JDate, AmericanSingles and CollegeLuv. Except more dating sites to turn on the gaming service in the near future.
