“Cops & Robbers introduces unique sub-genre because we set out to make a fast-moving experience that has the flow of a racing game with the variety and challenge of an action platformer,” said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu Mobile. “We are excited to provide consumers with a game that takes advantage of the unique and engaging features of the revolutionary iPhone and iPod touch.”

Cops & Robbers plays off of parkour-style acrobatics using unique accelerometer controls of the iPhone and iPod touch. Set in a 3-D urban landscape, the game is a visual feast full of shadows and rich glowing effects.

  • Acrobatic parkour moves – find the most direct and efficient path to escape the cops by pulling off a variety of well-timed gymnastic running moves
  • Lasting gameplay – nine levels with multiple routes to explore, each level with three challenges
  • Mini-games – an added lock-picking mini-game challenges players to solve a puzzle in order to access extra rewards

Cops & Robbers is now available worldwide for $4.99 from the Apple App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
