Announcing that Mobilehead Games, the developers of Robin Hood: Hero of Hope, has released a special new product for iPhone users. The application offers some of the best of steam punk fantasy gameplay and challenging fun. Users are put in the role of Robin Hood, the one counted on to save damsels in distress and put bad guys in their place. Features include an over shoulder view with point and shoot capabilities, as well as funny character voiceovers. To celebrate Robin Hood Week, users can purchase the app at a special price.

When Mobilehead Games producer, Will Magno, started developing Robin Hood: Hero of Hope with his team, he wasn’t sure what direction it would take, “We started to develop stories that ranged from sci-fi, zombies and Mil-sims but we ultimately landed on Fantasy. We started sketching out ideas for this world we were going to create. It evolved into a steam punk fantasy vigilante hero that was Robin Hood.”

From that basic concept, Mobilehead developers added game elements that stock the app with plenty of challenging and fun features. Throughout six levels of gameplay, users can choose views and weapons as they avoid injury, fight villains and save buxom damsels in distress. For added hilarity, the characters speak in funny voiceovers.

You can’t do that with the iPhone unless you have a really flexible neck. A new case concept for the iPhone has surfaced called the Arkhippo. The case makes the iPhone majorly fat. The upside is you could probably comfortable hold the phone between your cheek and shoulder with the case on the iPhone.

The case has an angled back and bottom that is designed to let you stand the iPhone up or sit it in landscape mode. The concept measures 170mm H x 83mm W x 50mm D and is made from a material similar to that of Crocs shoes. I don’t think you could carry the phone in your pocket if you use this case.
