King, the company behind popular Facebook games Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Witch Saga is bringing two new games to the social network: Papa Pear Saga, and Farm Heroes Saga.

A huge player in the online gaming space, King currently has 108 million players playing its games each month over its entire network of mobile, online and social games. That adds up to a whopping 12 billion gameplays on all platforms in a single month. Daily players across all platforms total 50 million.

“The exceptional growth of our mobile, Facebook, and cross-platform audience is a testament to the care and craft that goes into our games,” says Riccardo Zacconi, co-founder and CEO of King.

Papa Pear Saga, much like King’s other Saga games, is based off of an existing game on King.com called Papa Pear. The physics-based game features dancing fruits, vegetables, and inanimate objects, and has players try to try and bounce a shot off as many of those objects as possible before landing in a bucket. The game currently has 60 levels, and will be headed to iOS and Android soon.

Farm Heroes Saga is a Bejeweled-style Match-3 game and has 70 unique levels, and three different game modes.

You can check out some screenshots of both games in the gallery below, or give both Papa Pear Saga [Facebook Link] and Farm Heroes Saga [Facebook Link] on Facebook now.
