Fox Mobile Entertainment has announced the launch of a new Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs iPhone game based on Twentieth Century Fox’s popular animated feature film.
The new Ice Age iPhone and iPod touch application features the movie’s fictional saber-toothed squirrel, Scrat, whose single-minded acorn obsession takes on a parallel plot throughout the Ice Age movie trilogy.
“We are excited to bring a fun and engaging game based on this year’s top animated movie to the App Store in time for the holidays,” said Andrew Stalbow, senior vice president of Fox Mobile Entertainment. “Chillingo and Two Tribes have a great track record for producing deep, innovative iPhone games and we are pleased to be working with their industry-leading team.”
In the Ice Age game, which is published worldwide by Chillingo and developed by Two Tribes, Scrat is seemingly oblivious to the perils that lay between him and his acorn in this puzzle-filled platform adventure. The player uses a revolutionary on-screen control system to point, direct, and assist the hapless hero in pursuit of that illusive acorn. Fun and challenging levels are spread throughout four environments from the movie; chilly ice caves, snowy peaks, sultry jungles, and mist-filled caves.
“We are thrilled to work with Fox on this fantastic property,” added Chris Byatte,director of Chillingo Ltd. “We believe that we have brought Scrat and Ice Age to life on the iPhone in a new and unique way.”
The game application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store via iTunes or directly from compatible handsets and costs $4.99. More information about the game can be found at www.iceagemobilegame.com/iphone.
