San Francisco – November
13, in the year of our Lord 2013 - Prepare to flex your
puzzle-solving powers today, as Unity Games and Electric
Eggplant are pleased to announce that the iOS version for iPad
and iPhone of Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention
Game, the first officially licensed Rube Goldberg-themed
puzzler, is now available on the App Store for just $2.99 USD,
€2.69, £1.99, AU$2.99.
Based on the comically complex machines imagined by American
Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, humorist and inventor, Rube
Goldberg, "Rube Works’" challenges players to complete everyday
tasks in traditional Rube Goldberg style by connecting familiar
objects and animals to build a comical chain reaction machine.
"We’re delighted that Rube Works will be Unity Games' first
release on iPhone and iPad,” said Oren Tversky, VP of Unity
Games. “We love how the game has captured Rube’s style and humor
in a way that will delight Rube's fans, while challenging puzzle
fanatics to flex their creative muscles."
"Rube Works" is the first officially licensed game to be based
upon the inventions of Rube Goldberg, the award winning artist
known for creating elaborate solutions to everyday problems and
combines the puzzle genre with slapstick humor and creative
problem solving. Imagine the goal is to carve a turkey -- and
you have a penguin, a bucket, a rooster, a box of sand, a sea
sponge, a seesaw and an ice cream maker to complete the task.
Then imagine connecting these objects together with string and
pulleys along with the laws of gravity and cartoon physics to
create a Rube Goldberg machine and proceed to the next level.
