comiXcape - The Game
Ivan Petkov
When I last checked in App Store – the online store of Apple for applications for iPhone, iPad and iPod - I noticed that more than 50% of the top 100 applications are games. Market analysts have long said that smartphones and especially the iPhone have taken the place of portable game consoles and have permanently taken their place in this segment of digital entertainment.
Recently I briefly presented some rules to create a game for Smartphone. Last week, our first game for the iPhone was certified and released in Apple App Store and can now be downloaded from there. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you the GRR Lab game - comiXcape.
The story. This is the story of a little boy who loves comic books and is unsurpassed in shooting with a sling. He is so keen on comic books that every minute, when he’s not getting into mischief, he is eagerly devouring each illustrated tale. The boy was punished for the troubles he’s getting into and is absorbed by the comic book, in which he becomes a hero.
If you follow our ruffian, you will have the chance to experience his adventures in a fictional world of comic books, crossing 4 countries and three continents and facing different challenges. The final award for the adventures in each country is a ticket to the next destination. As you travel from place to place, you must prove your skills in shooting with a sling. Will you be able to get our little mischief out of the intricate situations he finds himself in? Can you bring him back to the real world?
Play all levels to find out!
Special features and entertainment. The story and the fascinating game are in themselves more than enough for good entertainment. But to make the experience different and even more fun, we decided to add a special feature - the ability to create a target of your own choice. Do you know those figures at fairs and carnivals, those with the face cut out, behind which someone can stand and you can throw different 'objects' at them – a pie, an egg, a tomato? In the game you can put a picture with the face of a friend or someone you don’t like and at whom you would gladly throw objects. You can enjoy a joke, in the case of friends, or get even with a person for something that offended you, in the case of someone you don’t like. Unleash your imagination and feelings! But that's not all! We have added the possibility of Sharing the picture in Facebook, so that your friends can have some fun as well.
Find out who the funny characters are and what you can throw at them!
Interesting facts about each country from the game. Besides having fun, you can learn a few short, curious and interesting facts about each country you visit. Press the "Info" (i) button from the menu between the levels and see what we have prepared for you.
We have prepared for you many surprises and intricate situations in which you must prove your skills with the slingshot. The game is not easy at all! The more you progress, the more difficult the levels become, and this intensifies the pleasure of passing them.
The game is not optimized for the iPad, but because of the high quality of the pictures in it, the pleasure of playing it on the tablet is unmatched. If you own an iPad, we recommend that you try it!
ComiXcape is suitable for all ages, fun, relaxing and challenging. Our designer has tried to make it special with an original and unconventional view, with funny characters and typical landscapes that correspond to each country. We have excelled in the layout of the game and you can verify this yourselves.
At the end, a bried summary suffices: great story, great vision, interesting, challenging and unconventional gameplay. Additional fun features interesting facts. ComiXcape offers a little something to everyone! The game is available from Apple App Store.
