Demo video on Youtube: “Monster Pinball for the iPhone and iPod Touch”
Available now from the Apple iPhone Apps Store (£2.39 / $3.99), the game is attracting highly positive feedback from independent reviewers who have described it as “a beautiful pinball experience” (Touch Arcade).
Jeff Coghlan, founder and MD at Matmi, says the iPhone/iPod game release and the company’s recent appointment as digital consultant in the £5 million Vimto rebrand showcase the full breadth of Matmi’s services, and its early adoption of new technology and techniques:
“We’re well-known for online games with the likes of EMI (Lily Allen, Iron Maiden) and Comic Relief and Sport Relief, but we have a whole range of interactive digital services to offer, from online strategy and consultancy to social media campaigns and brand monitoring. We love experimenting with new platforms and tactics so that we can build them into client campaigns when we know exactly what they’re capable of.
“In this case, ‘Monster Pinball’ has got off to a tremendous start with overwhelmingly positive reviews, requests for different platforms and even our next release,” Jeff continues. “That’s good because we’re already developing new games for the iPhone, Xbox and Wii which will be out in the next few months.”
About the game
Featuring Matmi’s Monster Mafia characters, “Monster Pinball” looks set to be a monster itself:
