Colossatron: Massive World Threat now available
worldwide!
AUSTRALIA, Brisbane - December 19th, in the year of our Lord
2013 – It's party time at Halfbrick as the Aussie studio's final
game of the year Colossatron: Massive World Threat launches
around the world simultaneously on the App Store for iPhone,
iPad and iPod touch, and on Google Play and Amazon Appstore for
Android.
Players take the role of Colossatron in the ultimate role
reversal, on an explosive quest to destroy cities and ultimately
the entire planet. Hardened military hero General Moustache is
the key to Colossatron's demise, but the best players will
create powerful strategies to fend off the General's gunships,
mechs and battle tanks. And I, for one, welcome our new gigantic
robot snake overlord.
Colossatron has been a year in the making, with gameplay
innovation being a key focus for the development team. Using a
core color-matching mechanic to build Colossatron and fight off
hordes of military attackers takes inspiration from tower
defence and real-time strategy. There's nothing else quite like
it, and Halfbrick is always proud to add another unique game to
its portfolio of mobile hits.
Adding a fresh layer of style was also important to keep the
action covered and the story moving. Everything is presented
from the viewpoint of Action News 6, the hard-hitting team of
reporters who see Colossatron as both a catastrophe and chance
for ratings! Rick Dalton covers all the action from the studio,
and field reporter Katie Hazard checks in with live updates from
the battle zone.
Colossatron: Massive World Threat is Halfbrick’s flagship game
of 2013. It is available now worldwide as a paid title with
optional in-app purchases.

Slim Cricket Launches Cricket Kids
In this application, children learn words and their opposites.
In each situation, they have to find the interaction to go from
one situation to another (blow-out/light candles, make
dirty/clean the screen, break/repair a robot, etc.)
The "Cricket Kids" are two cheeky but charming little crickets
who get up to all kinds of mischief all over the house, starting
in their bedroom, and progressing through the bathroom, kitchen
and living room. Using games, children are introduced to notions
such as "little / big", "open / closed", "noisy / quiet", etc.
SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICE $0.99 instead of $1.99
(for U.K) £0.99 instead of £1.49
Learning while having fun:
With the "Cricket Kids", children learn and have fun at the same
time; without noticing, they enrich their vocabulary and start
reading and spelling. The arranging games develop their
association skills, which are very useful when children are
starting to read.
Fine motor skills are deployed with touch based games requiring
them to press, drag, rub etc. The child also interacts in lots
of ways, such as blowing, shouting and shaking, and makes
various discoveries, thereby stimulating their participation.
As in all Slim Cricket applications, inventive use of the
microphone and camera helps to involve the child at a personal
level! A quiz at the end enables you to assess what the child
has retained from the games.
This application is particularly suitable for children from 2 to
7 years-old. It is available in 6 languages (English, French,
German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian) on all iOS and Android
devices.
