03/09/2013 - Go Yeti Available March 8th on App StoreMaster the art of Magic Carpet Flying with Go Yeti!
Go Yeti!
challenges players to navigate their flying carpet over sand dunes and outer space, avoiding mosquitos, pop-up toys, fly-swatters
and other surprises. The game features four unique Yeti characters, each with their own personality and wardrobe.
"We
wanted to create a fun environment which kids can enjoy as much as their parents.", said Anthony Magrath, founder of
Nevistech.
"We added lots of zany animations to make kids laugh, whilst including more surreal moments for
the adults. Our favourite scene involves flying your carpet through outer-space, dressed as a Scotsman and gaining extra points
by sucking up mosquitos into your bagpipes".
Go Yeti! has been designed to appeal to a wide age group.
"Producing a game that was equally challenging for adults and kids required some unique game design", said Anthony.
"The game features innovative software which adjusts the gameplay to create just enough challenge to keep you hooked,
without ever getting too tricky."
Go Yeti! Free is available from 8th March 2013 on
the App Store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Go Yeti! was produced in collaboration with Wet Yeti, a
graphics and illustration studio, who's artwork and greeting cards have built up a dedicated following in the UK. Nevistech
are also releasing an Android version, which will be available at the end of March.
