Seattle, WA – December 8, 2011 - Zipline
Games, a Seattle-based games studio and the creator of the Moai
game development platform <
http://www.getmoai.com> , today announced
worldwide availability of their first game –
Wolf Toss (
http://ziplinegames.com/games/wolf-toss/) –
available now for iPhone, iPad, Android devices, and on Chrome.
This is the first time a game has been launched
simultaneously across all three platforms, which was made possible
by Zipline Games’ multi-device open source game development
platform, Moai.
In the free-to-play
Wolf Toss game
, players shoot the Big Bad Wolf from cannons on his
carnivorous quest to get ham and bacon by demolishing the Three
Little Pigs-engineered huts, houses and mansions.
Wolf Toss combines the addicting gameplay of popular
knock-em-down game and the deeper experience of an old-school D-pad
platformer’s power ups, collectibles and cheats. The
game features moving obstacles, 144 playable levels, large indoor
areas, 3 distinct worlds to explore and over 15 different
power ups and cheats. Use strategy and power-ups to burn, roll,
float, blast and even teleport past rubber walls, moving platforms
and spinning propellers to delicious victory. To give players a
little boost, the game offers in-app purchase of Cheats found on a
carnival-type roulette wheel that give the Big Bad Wolf supreme
advantage over his porky nemeses.
“
Wolf Toss a lot of fun! Its release is exciting for
us at Zipline Games in two ways – it is our first game that
is launching simultaneously on half a billion devices over iOS,
Android and Chrome, and was built entirely on Zipline Games’
multi-device open source game development platform, Moai,”
said Todd Hooper, CEO of Zipline Games.
Wolf Toss was able to release on all three platforms
simultaneously as it was all written in Lua script, which is the
language used in Zipline Games’ Moai game development
platform. Billed as the mobile platform for pro game developers,
the Moai platform differentiates itself through its cloud-based
game services and rapid simultaneous development of iOS, Android,
and Native Client titles.
