Chillingo is proud to announce that its clever and unique kingdom-building title, Puzzle Craft and stealth-based, maze adventure, Critter Escape, will launch tomorrow on the Apple App Store . Plus, the popular platformer, Little Acorns, makes its debut on Xbox LIVE® on Windows® Phone today.
Puzzle Craft
The satisfying strategy of a kingdom-builder augmented by the fast-paced thinking of match-three -- that's the winning formula powering Puzzle Craft. Turn a simple village into a bustling city through farming and mining, hiring workers, crafting tools, and more. Match-three sequences keep players engaged, as they determine the direct fate of their civilization by linking tiles to perform tasks and erect special buildings. With so much to do, see, build, and match, Puzzle Craft is a value for gamers looking for a long-term play as well as a great quick fix for puzzle players.
Game Features:
- Part town building sim, part match-three puzzler, Puzzle Craft blends two gameplay modes together for the first time ever.
- Incredibly deep gameplay, there's always something to do!
- Craft tools to aid with farming and mining.
- Hire villagers to help out around the settlement.
- Create special buildings to increase productivity!
- Universal build: plays great on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
