FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORLANDO, Florida –
Cling!
combines everything people love about classic platformer games
with a brand new wall-crawling style of movement to create the
world’s first “pegformer.”
In this pegformer the hero navigates obstacles like spikes,
falls and electricity by clinging to floating pegs. The
player's finger acts as the focal point for the hero, controlling
where he travels to and when the player lets go, so does the
character.
The developers at
First5 Games used toys like the Wacky Wall
Crawler as inspiration to create a brand new style of
platformer.
“Most platformers have the hero running and jumping. While
brainstorming different ways to move we thought of those plastic
toys from vending machines you’d fling against the wall as
kids and it all came together,” said Dustin Clingman, CEO,
First5 Games. “The result is an action-packed title with an
entirely new twist on the classic platformer that all ages can
enjoy.”
Cling!’s hero, Edgar, is a toy whose capsule breaks as he
is being dispensed from a vending machine. Trapped in a vast and
dangerous world, it is up to the player to help Edgar escape and
reach his owner. What ensues is a whimsical adventure through 90
humorous and imaginative levels.
Cling! is available to download on the iPhone, iPad and
iPhone Touch for $2.99 on
iTunes. The app also
offers accessories at the “Gumdrop Shop” for
customizable game play.
