Hands-On Mobile, Inc., the world's leading developer of connected games and applications, today announced the release of Big Buck Hunter(R) Pro for mobile. Based on the popular hunting arcade game, Big Buck Hunter Pro employs EyeMobile(R) Engine technology, which allows players to aim guns by physically moving the phone to the left and right. The game is currently available on Verizon and will be released soon to U.S. Cellular and Alltel customers.
"We are excited to integrate groundbreaking technology like the EyeMobile Engine into a fully immersive game like Big Buck Hunter Pro," said Michael Temkin, CTO and EVP of Operations of Hands-On Mobile. "By providing gamers with a unique, interactive experience, we further solidify our commitment to innovation in mobile gaming."
Big Buck Hunter Pro allows players to assume the role of a professional hunter with the goal of shooting bucks and other forest critters to earn big scores and bonus points. Using award-winning EyeMobile Engine technology, players' in-game movements are detected through the phone's camera eye. With slight hand movements players are able to position their gun on screen and take down moving targets. The game features exciting fast-paced motion-based gameplay, 28 unique levels for both amateur and pro players, bonus games and online leader boards. Players are also able to display scores via the CoinUp(R) system from networked arcade game leaderboards and gain access to the Big Buck Hunter Pro arcade player Web site at www.bigbuckhunter.com.
"The connectivity between the mobile game and the arcade game will bring the social aspect of Big Buck Hunter Pro to an unprecedented level," said George Petro, President of Play Mechanix, Inc.
