The Mighty Troglodytes Announce Crazy Dog
Having crossed China with Yu: A Warrior Tale,
defied the Daltons in Lucky Luke Outlaws and uncovered an extraordinary world in
Adventure Boy In Zooloo land, The Mighty Troglodytes, creators of video games
for mobile phones, announce the development of a new series that will really put
your reflexes to the test.
About Crazy Dog
In Crazy Dog, the first title from the Garden
Stories series, the player assumes the identity of Crazy, a dog that has been
bitten by a Frenzy Mosquito. The mosquito bite has turned Crazy so mad that he
attacks anything that moves, and his masters no longer dare to get close to him
at feeding time. Afraid, they leave his food bowls far from him. Tied to a post
in the middle of a fenceless garden, Crazy must fight off the starving
neighborhood dogs, which will try anything to steal his food. The player’s goal
is to keep the other dogs away from Crazy’s food bowls, to stop him getting
depressed.
Displayed on a fixed screen, Crazy Dog offers
intuitive playability and is very straightforward. To defend his food bowls,
Crazy can move in 8 directions, using 8 keys on the phone. Crazy automatically
barks as he approaches his enemies, to frighten them away. With each new level,
the number of enemy dogs on the screen increases and the player must demonstrate
sang-froid and dexterity to ward off these increasingly determined canines.
With its simple concept and unbeatable fun, Crazy
Dog is the ideal companion for players looking for an immediate, quick challenge
as well as scorers, who will find Crazy Dog a tense and addictive game.
With its pick-up-and-play design, frenetic
gameplay, and the Mighty Troglodytes’ unique graphical style, Crazy Dog will be
available in May. Smash The Mole and Gob ‘n’ Frog, the other two titles in the
Garden Stories series, will be released in July and September, respectively. The
games will be available in Java, on more than 200 handsets* in the main
languages of the countries where they will be distributed* (French, English,
German, Italian, Spanish).
