FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reading, Pennsylvania - Tuesday, November 13, 2012. TreadRunner
is a “Finger Racing” game who’s objective is to
gain the most distance and successfully jump the most hurdles in 60
seconds. TreadRunner incorporates Apple’s Game Center
technology, allowing realtime two player matches through wifi,
bluetooth and cellular networks. The game is targeted at the 10+
age group. The Game is available in Apples App Store under
games.
TreadRunner is a track and field racing game that is controlled
by your fingers using swipe gestures. Swipe down to run and swipe
up to jump. A player must swipe down to gain momentum and increase
speed then keep that speed in order to jump over hurdles. You have
60 seconds to run as far as you can and jump as many hurdles as you
can.
HighBeta is developing and publishing a genre of games called
“Finger Racers”. These games promote a style of
interactivity that use swipe gestures to compete for a top score or
to compete with other players online in realtime network
matches.
Similar to games like fruit ninja that use swiping as a metaphor
for cutting, TreadRunner uses swipe gestures as a metaphor for
running and jumping. TreadRunner is a true test of finger
coordination and concentration. TreadRunner is the first in a
series of “Finger Racing” games being developed here at
HighBeta.
TreadRunner is the first “Finger Racer” game to hit
Apples App Store.
TreadRunner is available at
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/treadrunner/id568479693?ls=1&mt=8
and priced at .99 cents. More information can be found on
