Major Update to Launching Pad Games’ Addictive Arcade Game Launches Today on the App Store<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND \u2013 August 18, 2011 \u2013 Launching Pad Games is announcing a major update to their side-scrolling arcade game, Mighty Fin<\/em>. Originally released for iPhone and iPod touch, Mighty Fin<\/em> is now a Universal app with full iPad support. It has also doubled in content, with 8 new levels and 32 new costumes adding to the game’s addictive fun. Mighty Fin<\/em> costs only USD $0.99 (NZD $1.29) on the App Store and existing customers will get access to the new content via a free update.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mighty Fin<\/em> follows the curious adventures of Fin, a fish in need of a holiday who has signed up for Shady Sal’s suspiciously cheap Round the World Tour. The game’s initial levels took Fin on an increasingly dangerous voyage through a variety of aquatic tourist traps, with Survival and Endless gameplay modes providing additional challenges for skilled swimmers.<\/p>\n

With today’s update Fin’s trip takes a decidedly surreal turn, with unexpected new locations that include a sticky-sweet candy river, a futuristic underwater city, and choppy seas swarming with pirates and ninjas. Like Mighty Fin<\/em>‘s launch content, the new levels include unlockable gameplay modes and hilarious collectable costumes. The addition of Universal app support makes Mighty Fin<\/em>‘s colorful cartoon graphics and intuitive one-touch controls even more accessible to iPad players. The new version also includes new music for even the original levels, with a unique theme for each of Fin’s destinations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Upon its June launch, Mighty Fin<\/em> garnered positive comparisons to the popular Tiny Wings<\/em> and quickly earned a 4.5 star App Store rating from fans. Its addictive gameplay and extreme value impressed reviewers, with PocketGamer calling it “guaranteed to entertain.” 148Apps praised its “responsive, simple controls [and] fun atmosphere” and GamePro urged, “Get this game. I’m serious. Do it now.”<\/p>\n

Mighty Fin<\/em> for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad can be downloaded for $0.99 from the App Store: http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/mighty-fin\/id434539624<\/a><\/p>\n
