NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Get ready for barnyard bedlam as 2K Play today announced that Herd, Herd, Herd – its newest mobile game – is now available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch for $.99. Farmer Jed’s animals are making a break for it and players must do their best not to be outfoxed by clucking chickens, springy sheep and balky bovines. The highly addictive game, dubbed “the next Angry Birds” by TouchGen, features unique finger-touch physics that take herding skills and fowl play to new heights.
Herd, Herd, Herd features over 70 challenging levels and a bevy of farmstead obstacles and tricky terrains, including snowy avalanches, rickety bridges and electric fences. Gamers are cautioned to steer clear of hungry coyotes, boorish bears and pesky purple roosters spreading their own brand of chicken pox. When the herdin’ gets too tough, the Super Lasso, Big Bopper and Harvest Moon can be unleashed to level the playing field. Additionally, players can connect to Game Center to track achievements like Cow Wrangler and Chicken Trapper and to compete with friends.
Herd, Herd, Herd expands upon 2K Play’s robust mobile games portfolio, including Comedy Central’s Indecision Game, GridBlock – the Puzzle Game You’ll Flip Over and House Pest Starring Fiasco the Cat – which reached the Top-25 free iPad games and the Top-5 for both the Kids and Family sub-categories on iTunes. A paid version of the game called House Pest Deluxe is also now available and includes the “Holiday Pack” – an in-game purchase of six festive feline friends, including Santa Claws, Mrs. Claws and Elfie.
Developed by 2K’s Cat Daddy Games studio, Herd, Herd, Herd is now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/herd-herd-herd-deluxe/id551453141?ls=1&mt=8.
