React! Games Launches 'Presidents Run' on iOS, Lets Users Compete Against Friends and Play to Vote for their Favorite Presidential Candidates
Play As President Barack Obama, Former Governor Mitt Romney, Zombie George Washington or Frankenstein Abraham Lincoln
TAYLORSVILLE, Utah, April 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- From Utah-based independent developer, 'React! Games', comes a brilliantly designed distance runner in which you choose your favorite presidential candidate, and run across the country collecting as many votes as you can! To help you along the way, upgrades such as power-shoes are available that give you special abilities to help you become the most powerful man on earth!
"We wanted to give people a fun and engaging way to participate in the race to the White House," said Chad Lee, Managing Director of React! Games. "Not only will they compete against friends to see who can make it farthest, but every mile they run and vote they collect will be reflected at http://www.presidentsrun.com. We think Presidents Run can predict the results of this year's election."
Published by 6waves just released on iOS for the Apple iPhone®, Apple iPod Touch®, and the Apple iPad®, as well as in the Android(TM) Play Store, 'Presidents Run' will be updated by the developer on a bi-monthly basis with new features, characters, backgrounds, items, shoes and accessories. Available as a FREE download, this awesome title will have live updates (online) featuring cumulative distance and vote totals for each candidate in the game. 'Presidents Run' is a unique twist on the American Idol(TM) type of call-in for your favorite contestant but instead of calling in, you simply play the game. Each play session records your distance and votes earned per candidate, and upload those numbers online - the more you play, the farther your favorite candidate gets. Players are encouraged to keep a close eye on the games Facebook & Twitter as weekly challenges and prizes will be posted and drawn. To kick things off, React! is sponsoring a sweepstakes on the game's website where you can enter to win a free iPad and other prizes. Visit (http://www.presidentsrun.com) to review the sweepstakes rules and regulations.
"We see 'Presidents Run' as a way for players to show support for their favorite presidential candidate, and if that happens to be Zombie George Washington, then all the more fun!" continues Casey Spencer, Producer at React! Games.
'Presidents Run' is available on the iOS App Store from here:
