Midway Launching Five Games for
iPhone and iPod Touch this Month
Midway today announced that five
games from the hit TouchMaster series will soon be available to download from
the iTunes App Store for play on the iPhone and iPod touch. TouchMaster
favorites Prismatix, Dice King, Combo 11, Carpet and Spellwinder are expected to
be available by the end of this month for $0.99 US each, or in a TouchMaster
Volume 1 bundle of all five for $3.99 US. The titles will be fully localized in
English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, and will also be available in
Europe for ç0,79 and 0.59 each, or for ç2,99 and 2.39 for the bundle.
Spellwinder – This is a word search
game with a twist. Only adjacent letters can be used to create a word. Make
words in any direction without using the same letter twice.
Dice King – This dice swapping
puzzle is super addicting! Swap two adjacent dice to form matching combinations
of three or more dice. Attempt to form the listed combinations displayed on the
top portion of the screen and watch your score rise.
Prismatix – Prismatix is an easy to
play hexagonal matching game. The wheel shows a color sequence. Try to eliminate
gems by matching the sequence in any direction. As gems are cleared (up to four
at a time) the wheel will shuffle and rotate, based on the number of gems used.
Creating four links will award big points and also add to your spin multiplier!
Combo 11 – With face cards removed
from the deck makes sets of 11. As cards are eliminated, you can press the
"Next" button to add available cards to the playfield. If no moves are left, you
can use "Jumble" to mix up the cards.
Carpet – A new take on the card game
you know and love… Solitaire. The object of the game is to move all cards to
the foundations where the aces have already been dealt. All cards from "the
Carpet" must be moved to the foundations upwards by suit (i.e. 2 over A). Any
"holes on the carpet," or gaps left behind by the cards that have been moved to
the foundations, are filled by cards from the waste pile.
