FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York City, NY, April 26th, 2010 –
Whoever first said, “Hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned” never met Trizzy – the newest devil (and first
female fiend) to grace the fires of “Pocket Devil –
Hell Yeah!” - Eyedip’s renowned simulation game for the
iPhone and iPod Touch. As the makers of Eyedip rapidly roll out two
daring new chapters to feverish fans this spring, Trizzy and a host
of other devilish new features are keeping “Pocket Devil
– Hell Yeah!” hotter than brimstone.
“Pocket Devil – Hell Yeah!” is the first
open-ended simulation of the underworld, where users control a host
of “Mugat2” (i.e., devilish minions of hell), as they
interact with various instruments of torture, terror and mayhem.
The pocket deity genre allows users to control and overpower a
community of
evil-minded population of characters and interactive elements in
a constantly changing environment with no real “goal”
other than the joy of omnipotence. Mini-games, such as
“Mugat2 Slapfest,” “Skateboard Hellpipe”
and the “Devil’s Ninja,” give users new ways to
torment poor souls and rack up their death toll.
In early April, Eyedip introduced Chapter 6 entitled
“Trizzy Protector,” in which gamers met Trizzy’s
overzealous protector Spike, whose mission in the afterlife is to
protect Trizzy’s virtues from the host of Mugat2 who
haven’t seen a woman since their mortal lives. Chapter 7,
entitled “The Bomb Diggity,” has just been approved by
Apple, and in honor of Earth Day, adds a paper shredder large
enough to recycle an unruly Mugat2, a bomb which will reduce them
to smithereens, and the ability to plant a tree with the most
unlikely of “fertilizers,” Mugat2 pee.
Coming soon is another circle of hell to be discovered in
Chapter 8 entitled “More Power To Ya.” Due out this May
pending Apple approval, users will get “recharged” with
the introduction of an electric chair hooked up to 30,000
electrical volts – enough to roast an entire population of
Mugat2 in the underworld. “More Power to Ya” will also
enable gamers to track their mini-game achievements against others
in a new, customized global leader board, which can be viewed at
http://bit.ly/globalscores (once Chapter 8 is
released).
To celebrate the new chapters and award their loyal fan base,
Eyedip is giving away “The iPad From Hell” – a
16GB WI-FI iPad - to one lucky devil who votes online for their
favorite Mugat2 head and tells us why they voted for it, by
visiting
www.eyedip.com. Eyedip is also accepting
descriptions and sketches of new Mugat2 heads, which may contribute
to the development of a new character in a later chapter. The
contest ends on “Cinco De Mayo,” or May 5th 2010.
“Pocket Devil – Hell Yeah!” is available in
the iTunes app store for $0.99 and is compatible with all Apple
mobile devices running OS version 2.2.1 and higher.
