CINCINNATI - Thursday, June 23rd 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zoo Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ CM: ZOOG), a leading developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment, today announced that its indiePub label has released Kona’s Crate, a physics-based platform racer for Android™ and iOS devices. Created by one of indiePub’s independent developer community members, Kona’s Crate is the label’s first game and will be launched via indiePub Mobile, Zoo Entertainment’s new mobile division announced earlier this year.
“Kona’s Crate is the first offspring of our exciting collaboration with talented indie developers,” said Mark Seremet, CEO of Zoo Entertainment. “The game affirms our new digital initiative, focused on addictive, innovative and high-quality IP. We look forward to rolling out more entertaining content through our indiePub platform.”
Kona’s Crate takes place in a magical, hidden world where players must carefully deliver a crate of stars to Kona, the mystic chief. The crate sits on a jet-powered platform that players must cleverly navigate to complete the delivery safely in time. However, the simple gameplay isn’t always what it seems. Players are forced to squeeze through tight spaces, turn sharp corners at rapid speeds and dodge perilous obstacles such as floating blocks, steam geysers and explosives. With three campaigns including 60 increasingly challenging levels, Kona’s Crate offers plenty of unlockable levels and achievements. Fun, addictive gameplay and easy to navigate controls make Kona’s Crate the perfect game for players of all ages.
Kona’s Crate is available on Android and Android Tablet at the Amazon Appstore for FREE (today only) and $2.99 thereafter, as well as at the Android Marketplace for $2.99 beginning June 30, 2011.
