Developers of a cell phone Web game are considering modifications after a parent complained the content had sexual connotations unsuitable for children.

The Shanghai E-touch Co said it had not anticipated complaints about the game, which allows the player to chase a beautiful girl.

Company officials said the game is clean and healthy, but the sexy dress and dialogue may worry parents.

"We have reported the issue to our top leaders, who are discussing it with our developing team," said an official from Shanghai E-touch surnamed Gao. "Very probably we will modify the dress and some words."

A local woman said she switched off the Web function of her 16-year-old daughter's cell phone yesterday, after detecting the game by accident.

The woman said she used her daughter's cell phone after her own phone ran out of power.

"Since I was not familiar with her phone, I entered the Web function. To my surprise, I found a girl in sexy dress and suggestive words on the screen," said the mother identified as Wang.

"My daughter is only in middle school, so she can be easily misled by such a game."

The company said the game targets cell phone Web users, most of whom are adults. "The game is still under development and not available to the public. The student may have got it from friends. We will make changes to meet objections," Gao said.
