Sphero Rolls Out New Apps to Turn You Into a Baller
- Debut of new apps for Sphero robotic gaming system presents a new set of entertainment possibilities
BOULDER, Colorado, Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbotix, the makers behind Sphero, the first robotic ball controlled by smartphones, today announced six new apps including its first multiplayer and arcade-style games. The games, which include space fighting, tag, golf and a crazed rabbit, are designed around the Sphero gaming system which is controlled with a tilt, touch, or swing from a smartphone or tablet. The apps join Sphero's collection of games designed to reinvent how games and robots (and friends and families) play together.
"With all the new games and existing apps available, there are even more possibilities for how you can engage with Sphero every day," said Paul Berberian, CEO of Orbotix. "Our multi-player apps make Sphero the perfect addition to any party while our new single-player games provide hours of entertainment."
Want to turn yourself into a baller? Check out the new Sphero apps:
-- Exile - Think beyond traditional, arcade-style space fighter gameplay
and fly through space while destroying enemies and collecting energy
cores.
-- ColorGrab - A tabletop, multiplayer game that tests players' reflexes by
flashing different colors and requiring players to swoop Sphero up at
the right time to earn points.
-- TAG - A multiplayer game utilizing collision detection technology with a
new take on a classic: Red Light, Green Light.
-- Golf v2 - This most innovative golf game has improved accuracy and
course creation as well as a new practice mode. Caddy not included.
-- Doodle Grub* - A fresh take on the Snake game, and an example of
brilliant, third party development. Navigate the grub with Sphero to eat
apples, grow and avoid enemies.
-- Sphero v2*- A redesigned app that is more intuitive and accurate. It
combines Sphero Drive, Sphero, SpheroCam, and other new functions
together as one happy family.
*Doodle Grub and Sphero v2 available September 14th.
