Club Penguin’s ‘Puffle Launch‘ has come to iOS. Puffle Launch is based on the hugely popular game from the Club Penguin world.
Puffle Launch involves players blasting their pet Puffles through a series of varying levels. The game was originally within Club Penguin, but rapidly gained in popularity. It is now played by more than 150,000 kids each day in the virtual world. No doubt some of these ‘kids’ are actually strange old men. To put into perspective of how popular Puffles are, a a new one is adopted every second, with more than 20 million already adopted. Lane Merrifield, Co-founder and executive vice president of Disney Online Studios says
“Kids are going mobile and have been asking for Club Penguin to go there with them. Disney pioneered virtual worlds and social gaming for kids, and now we want to enable kids to connect with their friends and our worlds on the go”
“This is only the beginning for Club Penguin on mobile and we have some really exciting plans that will unfold over the next year.”
Here are some of the features of the game:
— Take on 24 high speed levels – Get back all the Puffle O’s, dodge
obstacles, discover surprises, and find a fiery prize at the end of
every level.
— Challenge boss levels – Battle the cranky crab and his mechanical claw,
and counter his moves with some of your own.
— Easy to use touch controls – Use your skills to blast through the skies,
conquering each level.
— Unlock new modes – Take on Time Trial Mode, Turbo Mode, and replay all
the levels in Slo-Mo.
— Earn virtual coins to transfer – Collect Puffle O’s and earn virtual
coins to transfer to clubpenguin.com.
There’s no doubt that kids will be itching to play Puffle Launch, especially after playing it online. I think that there will be a lot of parents buying this game for their own iPod, iPhone or iPad, then giving it to their child to play. Any child lucky enough to own their own mobile Apple device will now become King or Queen of the playground as they smugly play the game in front of all the other devastated children.
