DUBLIN, August 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Latest Adaptation of Chart-Topping Franchise Adds Game Center
Support with 29 Game Achievements & an In-App Purchase Option for Peggle
Nights
PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual games, today announced the
global launch of Peggle(R) HD(TM) for the iPad(R). A franchise first, Peggle
HD includes Game Center support with 29 achievements and an in-app purchase
option for the complete Peggle Nights(TM) game. For a limited time only,
Peggle HD will be available for a special introductory price of GBP1.79 from
the Apple App Store with the in-app purchase option of Peggle Nights for
GBP0.59. Thereafter, the games will be available for GBP2.99 and GBP1.19,
respectively.
"We're bringing Peggle in all of its glory to mobile gamers everywhere
with this fully optimized adaptation, exclusively for the iPad," noted
Andrew Stein, director of mobile business development at PopCap. "Peggle HD
delivers riveting game action familiar to millions of fans of the original
PC blockbuster, and is enhanced with Game Center achievements, like First
Bjorn and Circus Daredevil, an in-app purchase option for Peggle Nights, as
well as vibrant high-definition color and detail that offers the best of
on-the-go entertainment to scores of iPad gamers."
Since its first introduction in March 2007, Peggle has been downloaded
more than 30 million times and garnered more than a dozen awards from
leading industry associations and trade journals.
Peggle combines elements of pinball, pool and pachinko to create a
completely different kind of game experience. The game challenges players to
use skill, strategy and luck to clear progressively more difficult levels of
orange pegs by firing a small silver ball from the top of the screen.
Stationary and moving obstacles along with numerous power-ups and special
effects combine with dynamically-assigned peg colors to make each level
unique every time it's played.
