SINGAPORE: Singapore
based SkyVu Productions' iPhone game, Battle Bears
offering adorable animation, a tongue-in-cheek theme and
intense bear-on-bear battle action has achieved 1-Million
iTunes Downloads in 30 days.
Launched August 31st, and
available exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch, "Battle
Bears" went to Top Ten Apps on iTunes in just seven
days and has remained in the top Paid Apps and Action/Adventure
Games despite stiff competition.
At one million downloads,
"Battle Bears" is comparable to the number of downloads
from the entire Palm App Catalog through June 2009. "Battle Bears" has topped nearly all the 16,000 "great games"
credited for the success of the Apple Apps.
Speaking to Animation
Xpress Asia Pacific, Benjamin Vu, President, SkyVu
Productions shared,"With "Battle Bears" quickly
approaching 1.5 million downloads, I am very excited about
it's international success across different age groups.
Our team at SkyVu has a unique sense of humor and a love
for character driven games. We're glad there are many fans
that think the same way."
The objective of the game
is to kill cuddly pink teddy bears who attempt to commit
"huggacide" with deadly embraces to Oliver, an
advanced robotic teddy bear with a lot of attitude.
""Battle Bears"
version 1.5 will be released very soon and will include
new levels, weapons, and crazy enemies like the BearZerker
and a deadly Unicorn Armada. It's only going to get more
insane and there's nothing like "Battle Bears" on the
App Store. "Battle Bears" for the iPhone is just a
small snippet into the "Battle Bears" UNIVERSE which
I've written and designed long before the introduction of
the iPhone. SkyVu is currently developing "Battle Bears" for
other platforms which will continue to reveal more of the
story line." He added.
Currently, SkyVu Productions
is in talks with Top Five game publishers concerning licensing
rights for the popular game. "Battle Bears" is available for
99 cents for a limited time on the iTunes App Store. Also
available is a free, shorter version of "Battle Bears" that
allows players to try out the game at no charge.
