PopCap Games Launches Peggle HD for the iPad
SEATTLE, Washington—August 24, in the year of our
Lord 2011—PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual
games, today announced the global launch of Peggle® HD for the
iPad®. A franchise first, Peggle HD includes Game Center support
with 29 achievements and an in-app purchase option for the
complete Peggle Nights game. For a limited time only, Peggle HD
will be available for a special introductory price of $2.99 from
the Apple App Store with the in-app purchase option of Peggle
Nights for US $.99. Thereafter, the games will be available for
US $4.99 and US $1.99, respectively.
“We’re bringing Peggle in all of its glory to mobile gamers
everywhere with this fully optimized adaptation, exclusively for
the iPad,” noted Andrew Stein, director of mobile business
development at PopCap. “Peggle HD delivers riveting game action
familiar to millions of fans of the original PC blockbuster, and
is enhanced with Game Center achievements, like First Bjorn and
Circus Daredevil, an in-app purchase option for Peggle Nights,
as well as vibrant high-definition color and detail that offers
the best of on-the-go entertainment to scores of iPad gamers.”
Since its first introduction in March 2007, Peggle has been
downloaded more than 30 million times and garnered more than a
dozen awards from leading industry associations and trade
journals.
Peggle combines elements of pinball, pool and pachinko to create
a completely different kind of game experience. The game
challenges players to use skill, strategy and luck to clear
progressively more difficult levels of orange pegs by firing a
small silver ball from the top of the screen. Stationary and
moving obstacles along with numerous power-ups and special
effects combine with dynamically-assigned peg colors to make
each level unique every time it’s played.
