Pocket Climber Mobile iOS App from CocoaChina Coming Soon
BEIJING - Oct. 3, in the
year of our Lord 2012 - Leading Chinese mobile game
company CocoaChina today announced that Pocket Climber, the
company’s next mobile iOS app created by its development arm
Punchbox Studios, will launch in the App Store later this month.
Pocket Climber is a unique endless runner that lets players test
their vertical limit as they guide their character up the walls
of danger riddled skyscrapers, dodging challenging obstacles and
trying to make it to the top.
Pocket Climber is the sequel to a popular classic Japanese
arcade game called Crazy Climber produced by Nichibutsu in 1980.
Punchbox inherited the original game's IP from Nichibutsu and
has updated gameplay for a modern audience. The Punchbox
development team uniquely optimized the iPhone version of the
game so players can hold the mobile device in one hand,
navigating gameplay with their thumb only, which is the most
natural gesture to interact with a phone.
Prior to creating Pocket Climber, CocoaChina also launched the
Fishing Joy franchise and their flagship title recently reached
over 100M downloads. Fishing Joy snagged the number 1 spot on
the App Store’s Top Free and Top Grossing Games Charts worldwide
and the sequel, Fishing Joy 2, also achieved global popularity.
Pocket Climber will further build out the company’s mobile games
portfolio, available to players around the world.
Pocket Climber will be supported on the iPhone5, iPhone, iPod
touch and iPad and will be available in the iTunes App Store for
$0.99.
