Chillingo and Aardman publish Shaun the Sheep - Fleece Lightning on the App Store
April 20, in the year of our Lord 2012 --
Chillingo, leading independent games publisher, and Aardman
Digital, the online division of Aardman Animations, today
launched a brand new iOS game, ‘Shaun the Sheep - Fleece
Lightning’ on the iTunesApp Store, developed by indie
development studio Green Ant Games.
“We are proud of our continued partnership with Aardman Digital
to bring Shaun the Sheep – Fleece Lightning to the App Store,”
states Chris Byatte, Co-General Manager and Co-Founder of
Chillingo. “The game is phenomenal with its fun, addictive and
intuitive controls that races players through mayhem and
adventure; Shaun the Sheep fans will definitely not be
disappointed,” adds Joe Wee, Co-General Manager and Co-Founder
of Chillingo.
Shaun the Sheep - Fleece Lightning is a fast and furious racing
game featuring the much-loved Aardman character Shaun the Sheep.
Players race Shaun against the clock through themed tracks,
littered with obstacles to beat the naughty pigs to the finish
line. The game features speed boosters and picnic blanket
power-jumps, allowing Shaun to run like lightning through the
course, dodging trees, traffic cones and piles of sheep poo! The
control options can be adapted to the player’s own preference,
using touch, on-screen controls or tilt to navigate Shaun
through the race. Players are also able to design and create
their own tracks using a fully-featured yet simple level editor.
Dan Efergan, Creative Director at Aardman Digital says“How can
you not love a frantic dash through the English countryside...
albeit with messy mud, out of control tractors, and pigs
fighting you for the farmyard's short supply of apples. Here at
Aardman there's been a nice mix of happy giggling and frustrated
shouting when playing, so we're excited to see this game finally
released into the world. We're particularly chuffed with the
level editor, and can't wait to see what fiendish tracks our
fans are going to invent.”
Shaun the Sheep - Fleece Lightning is available now for just
$.99 on the App Store
