AUSTIN, TX – October 21st, 2010 –
Super Happy Fun Fun, Inc. is proud to celebrate the 1-year
anniversary of Big Buck Hunter® Pro™ on the iTunes App
store by announcing their new 4.0 update to Big Buck
Hunter®Pro™ for the iPhone/touch. The App is faithfully
based on the world’s #1 hit arcade hunting game from Play
Mechanix/ Raw Thrills. The new iPhone update features the popular
Moose Adventure now available for in-App purchase, complete with
three new hunting destinations, three classic bonus games, and a
number of gameplay enhancements.
Since Super Happy Fun Fun’s release of the 3D shooter for
iPhone and iPod touch at the end of October 2009, Big Buck
Hunter®Pro™ became an instant staple on the iTunes App
Store – featured immediately by Apple as “What’s
Hot” and at the top of “Best Hunting and Fishing
Games.” The game quickly moved up the iTunes charts into the
Top 100 Overall, Games and Arcade lists and regularly commands a
ranking in the top 20 in Sports.
In addition to the Moose Adventure’s three new, action
packed treks, of five sites each, the in-App purchase update also
includes the three bonus levels; Log Yard Bonus, Clockwork Bonus
and Turkey Hunt Bonus.
“Our reviews by fans have been stellar since our
introduction of the App version of Play Mechanix’s smash
arcade hit,” said Mark Stephen Pierce, CEO Super Happy Fun
Fun. “The unique arcade-style gameplay provides the type of
action that iPhone/iPod players love. “This is the fifth
update in a line of major updates for Big Buck
Hunter®Pro™ and shows our commitment to the product and
the fans. We want to thank the Big Buck Hunter fans for their
continued support of the product over the past year.”
continued Pierce, “We are also Super Happy to also announce
that we will soon be bringing Antelope to complete the Adventure
and Bonus Level set of the original Coin-Op hit.”
