Freeverse
and Strange Flavour Release Plank for iPhone

A puzzle game based on the
iPhone’s advanced accelerometer technology

Freeverse today announced the
release of Plank, the steampunk styled, tilt-based puzzle game for the iPhone
and iPod touch. Plank was developed by Strange Flavour, creators of the Apple
Design Award winning ToySight and best selling Airburst and Airburst Extreme
games.

Plank is the first iPhone puzzle
game where the gameplay is based almost exclusively on the accelerometer. Tilt
the steam powered hydraulic plank to catch colored marbles and roll them to
match each other as they fall. Too many marbles and the plank will collapse
under the weight, so you have to match them fast. Watch out for all the amazing
power-ups and specials, including the "Shake" smart bomb! Just as you’re
starting to panic, shake the device and one of your limited number of Shakes
will destroy a whole line of marbles. Other power-ups drop more marbles, make
everything faster, slower or even make the plank slippery.

“Plank is an ideal game for the
iPhone”, said Aaron Fothergill, Managing Director of Strange Flavour. “It seems
easy and casual at first, but a few levels into the "Nnnaaarrrgh!" difficulty
game and you’ll be twitching!”.

Plank is immediately available for
$1.99 on the iTunes App Store.
