The Dark Knight: Batmobile Game

Players experience the power behind the 2.5 ton Batmobile as they drive it through a series of high-powered jump sequences to get Batman through the streets of Gotham City as quickly as possible. Easy to pick up and play and highly addictive, players continually try to beat their previous score and propel the Batmobile as high as six feet, and a distance of up to sixty feet. The Dark Knight: Batmobile Game utilizes the devices’ accelerometer and includes stunning 3-D graphics, bringing the Batmobile to life on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Bonsai Blast

Bonsai Blast is an addictive action-puzzle game that challenges players to shoot and match colored balls to clear more than 90 Zen levels of rich, detailed environments. Bonsai Blast advances the match-three marble popping category with unique features such as high-paced gameplay with variations via ricochets, tunneled chains and swappable shooter locations. Bonsai Blast takes full advantage of the capabilities of the iPhone and iPod Touch with its beautifully rendered environments and multiple original musical compositions running at 30+ frames per second.
