Gem King takes his royal place on the iTunes App Store
VANCOUVER - October 13, in the year of our Lord 2011
-- Indie developer Hothead Games today announced the launch of
Gem King, a hilarious, free peg-blasting and gem-collecting
puzzle game for iPhone and iPad.
Your loyal and surprisingly resilient Minions will do anything
to bring you riches! Aim carefully and kick them into the mines
and your Minions will bounce and ping off pegs like pinballs.
Their ultimate goal is to collect as many gems for their King as
possible.
Collect enough gems to progress through the levels and earn your
Gem–Encrusted Crown and other royal attire to dress up and
become the Gem King!
Gem King has also received iOS 5 update treatment, bringing some
new key features to users. The game supports iCloud for game
save files, full Twitter integration and Airplay Mirroring,
which allows users to control the game on their iPad 2 or iPhone
4S and watch the gem collecting goodness unfold on their HDTV
via Apple TV.
Gameplay highlights:
* Hours of play: 36 levels over 3 different worlds!
* Earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals in each level for Coin
rewards!
* Win coins and collect gems to progress through the levels!
* Fire, Ice, Rock, Multiplier, Splitter, Countdown and Explosive
pegs make each level unique and challenging!
* Dress up the Gem King as you play, with the Royal Monocle, the
Stately Moustache or the ultimate prize—the Gem-Encrusted Crown.
Full list of features:
* Universal App for iPhone and iPad.
* iCloud support--continue your progress on any iOS 5 capable
device that you own.
* Full twitter integration - tweet your progress or best score
to your followers.
* Airplay Mirroring
* Game Center enabled with Achievements and Leaderboards.
* Retina display graphics.
