Take a Bite out of Granny Smith - Available Now on iOS and Android
MALMÖ, Sweden - Aug. 30,
in the year of our Lord 2012 - Mediocre, the team
behind last year’s award-winning Sprinkle, is excited to
announce today the launch of Granny Smith on iPhone, iPad, iPod
touch and Android devices, featuring exclusive effects on
NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 devices. A whimsical blend of racing and
platforming, Granny Smith puts players in the skates of a
radical grandma as she rolls, soars and crashes through walls to
get her stolen apples back from a chubby little thief. With 36
hand-crafted levels, three playable characters and integrated
leaderboards, Granny Smith offers hours of fun to gamers of all
ages, including the approximately 6 million players who
downloaded the paid and free versions of Sprinkle and Sprinkle
Jr. in the past year.
Granny is a fast old lady, but players need just two simple
buttons to send her careening over obstacles and sliding along
wires with her trusty cane. Walls collapse and windows shatter
as she blasts through them, showing off a robust physics engine
that gamers should expect from the makers of the water-splashing
puzzler Sprinkle. But even if things get messy after Granny
zooms by, the game looks great thanks to artist Henrik
Johansson’s vibrant, playful style. If Granny needs a boost, she
can toss baseballs and bananas to slow down the apple-bandit and
break through obstacles. Just be sure to collect enough coins
along the way – and don’t faceplant after a big jump, or you’ll
be left with an empty purse!
The team at Mediocre has once again pushed the technical
boundaries with Tegra 3 exclusive enhancements – including
additional breakable objects, grass, flowers and dust particles
– that heighten the rockin’ and rollin’ Granny fun. The game is
featured on the TegraZone™ app, NVIDIA’s free app that showcases
the best games optimized for the Tegra processor.
Mediocre just released a sizzling trailer for Granny Smith,
which is viewable here. The game’s official website can be found
