Mediatonic's Bite-Sized Cake Defence Simulator Available Now
Mediatonic, the London-based social gaming specialist, has announced that its latest hothouse project, Must.Eat.Birds, has landed on the App Store priced at just 99 US cents or 59 UK pence. As an offshoot project from its main business, Must.Eat.Birds combines Mediatonic’s high-end production values and expertise in concise and immediately accessible play mechanics to produce a compact action game with fun as the primary concern.
Must.Eat.Birds takes place during the perfect garden picnic. A Nomster is happily enjoying an array of fabulous cakes when an army of jealous parachuting birds launches an unprovoked attack. Hastily constructing a slingshot from his cutlery, the Nomster bravely launches clones of himself at the invading avians to protect his precious cupcakes, sponges and Battenbergs. Making good use of the iPhone’s touch screen in portrait orientation, Must.Eat.Birds’ play mechanics combine the classic defend-the-bases design of Missile Command with the ball-bouncing physics of Breakout to provide a score-based game where timing your Nomster launches is critical to maximising combo hits as multiple birds make their descent. Some stages will restrict the player with a limited amount Nomster launches, making the angle and timings of your attacks all the more important. Advanced players can combine Nomsters by launching one after another and making them collide for even more bird-destroying power. With nine ‘mission’ stages, four open-ended score challenge stages and five different bird types, ranging from standard cake-snaffling attackers to huge plumpers of mass destruction, along with a bevy of gameplay achievements to unlock, Must.Eat.Birds packs in a surprising amount of gameplay for its minimal cost.
Full details are available from the game’s official website: www.musteatbirds.com
Paul Croft, creative director, Mediatonic comments “Must.Eat.Birds is the first own-IP title that we’ve submitted for the App Store, so we’re overjoyed that it’s been approved and is now available to download. We’re hoping that players will soon be challenging our own internal high-scores and uncovering amazing techniques to keep the Nomster’s cakes safe from harm. For those about to bake – we salute you.”
