CAN YOU DIG IT? JAGEX LAUNCHES IPHONE MINER DISTURBANCE
Jagex Games Studio Publishes Miner Disturbance for the iPhone and iPod touch
Cambridge, UK — Tuesday 8th June 2010 — Jagex Games Studio, the UK's largest independent games company, today announced the release of Miner Disturbance, the studio's third iPhone title. The launch of Miner Disturbance follows the huge success of Jagex's first mobile games, Bouncedown and StarCannon, which have topped Apple's App Store arcade charts with over 4.5 million downloads.
Miner Disturbance is a platform-style game in which players dig for precious metals, discover ancient artefacts and avoid mythical monsters and dangerous geographic hazards such as rockslides, flash floods and volcanic eruptions. The game also includes social networking integration, provided by OpenFeint, allowing players to show off their achievements and high scores to friends on Facebook and Twitter.
Jagex is a great game studio with fantastic iPhone titles so we're excited for the launch of Miner Disturbance
said Jason Citron, founder and CEO of Aurora Feint. We're proud that Jagex has chosen OpenFeint as its online gaming platform and look forward to continued collaboration
.
Miner Disturbance is a hugely exciting, fast-paced puzzle platformer, and a perfect addition to our growing iPhone catalogue,
said Rob Smith, Jagex's COO. We have gone to great lengths to make the iPhone version of Miner Disturbance as compelling and enjoyable as possible by adding new levels, new interfaces and new power-ups. As a result, Miner Disturbance is our most in-depth and engaging iPhone game to date.
Miner Disturbance launches at a special introductory price of �0.59 GBP ($0.99 / €0.79) for a limited time only, and is available to download today from the Apple App Store.
