Bring the Party to your Mobile Device with the debut of
Wurdy
LONDON: December 5, in the year of our Lord 2013: Marvelous
Games, a division of Japanese publisher MarvelousAQL, best known
for the highly-acclaimed titles No More Heroes, Harvest Moon,
and RunBot, today announced the release of Wurdy, a highly
entertaining new word-based party game on the App Store.
Available now on iPhone®, iPad and iPod® touch devices, Wurdy is
designed to bring the entire room together – at home, your
favorite pub, a friend’s house - for hilarious ‘shout-out-loud’
fun anywhere you go.
Developed by UK studio SockMonkey, players each have a sixty
second round to cleverly and quickly describe a listed word or
phrase to their audience using clues that will lead them to the
answer. Once someone guesses correctly, players move onto the
next word as the clock quickly races to zero. The player with
the most points at the end of each round wins but remember: no
miming and no rhyming!
"We fell in love with Wurdy from our very first play,” says
Harry Holmwood, CEO, MarvelousAQL Europe. “People of all ages
have always loved playing together - whether it's cards or
classic board games. Wurdy takes that tradition and combines it
with the easy accessibility and convenience of a mobile phone -
making any occasion perfect for a fun, social game."
Topics for Wurdy take players through a wide range of subjects
that will entertain all types of people including Celebrities,
Film/TV, Sports, Animals, Books and even the Kids’ Zone for the
wee Wurdy gamer. Premium categories will also be available for
in-app purchases, keeping players on their toes and up-to-speed
with an array of new topics including the latest pop culture
news, sporting events and holidays. Each category contains more
than 300 words, which will offer endless entertainment to
players.
The fun doesn’t stop there, as Wurdy allows players to capture
their unforgettable epic fails and verbal victories live on
camera by utilizing the EveryPlay feature. EveryPlay allows
players to record video footage from the perspective of the
quizzer, and easily share hilarious videos from their Wurdy
hijinks via popular social media platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter and YouTube.
Wurdy is available now for $1.99 from the App Store on iPhone®,
iPad and iPod® touch devices, with an Android launch coming
soon.

ROCK OUT WITH HALFBRICK'S NEW GAME BAND STARS
December 5th, in the year of our Lord 2013 -- Brisbane,
Australia - Today Halfbrick is proud to announce that its
collaborative project with fellow Aussie developer Six Foot Kid
has launched worldwide on the App Store! Band Stars is for music
and management lovers around the world, giving players the
chance to recruit rockers, record hit songs and grow a legion of
fans!
In development for the past 12 months, Band Stars has evolved to
become a colorful celebration of all things musical, with a rich
layer of depth to satisfy strategy and simulation fans. Players
jump in by choosing their band members from a small initial
group, and hit the studio indie-style.
Each rocker has unique stats and abilities, so this will come
into play when choosing the style and genre of music to record.
Choosing the right band members to play each instrument, who
should lay down a solo, and especially who will mix the final
track are all very important choices which affects the overall
song quality. However, there are no penalties for
experimentation, and exploring the nuances of studio management
will reap rich rewards.
As each song continues to climb higher in the charts, the fans
will begin to gather and new expansion opportunities arise. Up
to 50 characters can be unlocked, new gear and instruments can
be obtained for the studio, and the cash will begin to flow.
Making the most of every opportunity will shoot even the
quirkiest band into international stardom!
This is Halfbrick’s first foray into the simulation genre,
although the team was very conscious to keep its trademark
casual, accessible gameplay intact. Band Stars is rich,
colourful and family-friendly, so fans of any music style will
find something to enjoy.
Band Stars is available exclusively as a universal download on
the App Store. It is a free download worldwide.
