Fingerlab studios, an innovative mobile application developer focused on designing games for the mobile marketplace, today announces a sale on Multipong that will see the game’s price reduced from $3.99 to only $0.99 for a limited time only. Created for use on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running on iOS 4.1 or later, Multipong is a technically updated multidirectional offshoot of perhaps the most famous videogame of all time, Pong. Featuring well polished graphics, a variety of stadium themes and the capability to allow for dynamic live multiplayer action, Multipong is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for the discount price of only $0.99 for a short time only.

Multipong is a modern day incarnation of what games such as Arkanoid and Pong strove to be during their hay-day. With contemporary HD designs and a realistic physics engine in hand, this game offers players a gaming experience that – though faithful to the spirit of similar arcade classics – represents nothing less than perfection, utilizing the full capabilities of the iPhone and iPad to deliver an exhilarating gaming experience. Multipong supports up to four players at a time on iPad and up to two players on iPhone and iPod touch. The aim of the game itself is fairly simple; players protect an opening on their end of the game field and stop any of the many balls in play from going in while simultaneously attempting to score goals on their opponents. The simplicity of this mission might be somewhat deceptive though as numerous obstacles, interactive bonuses, and challenging terrain features await players once they begin their game.

Application development studio, Cazual Games, announces today the release of Toy Balls! Lite, a free version of their popular game for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Toy Balls! Lite offers 6 levels of the original addictive arcade game, as well as intuitive game play and physics.

The Game
It all begins in a wooden universe where balls roll and move around. The objective is dead easy to pick up; the player must rescue as many balls as possible by connecting them together, before they touch the electro zapper and get toasted.

What makes this game so hypnotic is that while all the toy balls are the same size, they vary in weight and elasticity. As they fall there are unpredictable collisions between balls, between levers, and between balls hitting levers. The result is a classical toy ball dance, with realistic momentum, rotation, balance, bounce, sliding, action, and reaction. Each of the eight different balls is rendered in convincing detail, allowing the viewer to enjoy their rotation and interaction.

The player must swipe as many balls of the same kind as possible, while navigating in-level obstacles, labyrinths and mazes. Longer chains earn higher points, achievements and the coveted 3-star ranking! The more balls saved, the more that will fall in the level, making it a race against the zapper!
