KooZac Out Now
August 22, in the year of our Lord 2012 –
Square Enix Ltd. the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive
entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories,
today announced KooZac™, the award-winning numbers puzzler with
over 15 million online plays, is now available for $.99 on the
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
“Caught somewhere between Tetris and Sudoku” (BBC), the concept
of KooZac is simple: position the falling number blocks on top
of each other to create a target number. Complete a set amount
of target numbers to destroy the silver blocks and finish each
level. KooZac has been fully re-imagined for iOS touch-screen
devices, offering users three simple ways to play, an easily
accessible interface, and boosts to enhance the gaming
experience.
Devised by Ben Cusack, the game has racked up over 15 million
plays online and picked up a Channel 4 “Best International
Interactive Viral” award. With the original concept created
following years of research into what makes an evergreen puzzle
game, in 2011 Square Enix moved to acquire the KooZac license,
and also hired Ben Cusack in the process to ramp-up its mobile
offering.
Ben Cusack, creator of the game, comments, “When creating
KooZac, the main objective has always been to make an immersive
and rewarding puzzle game that anyone of any gaming experience
can learn, enjoy and share with others.”
Antony Douglas, General Manager Mobile at Square Enix Ltd.,
comments, “KooZac has all the makings of a classic puzzle game
and heralds a new style of casual game for Square Enix Ltd and
our expanding mobile portfolio. Since its original online launch
the game has enjoyed huge recognition from the media, the
industry and its fans. The addition of Ben on board as Brand and
Marketing Director Mobile, also gives us unparalleled expertise
and insight.”
KooZac offers three ways to play:
• Puzzle – Play through 60 levels, destroying the silver puzzle
blocks and clearing the board by completing the targets.
• Endless - No level, no stage – compete against the world in
Endless mode and use multi gems to rack up huge scores.
• Blitz - Complete targets and use boosts in order to get the
highest score possible in one minute. By connecting with
Facebook, players can compete with others for high scores on
live leaderboards and weekly competitions
Users can enhance their game experience with additional in-game
