11/23/2015 - Smurf's Village Five Year CelebrationBeelineTM Interactive, Inc. Celebrates "Smurfs'TM Village"
5th Anniversary On Apple’s App Store LOS ANGELES, CA - November 23, 2015 - Beeline™ Interactive, Inc., a leading developer and publisher of casual
games for iOS and Android platforms, today celebrates the 5th anniversary of “Smurfs’ Village”
on Apple’s App Store. One of the first titles to pioneer the freemium model on a mobile platform, “Smurfs’
Village” has seen 78 content updates to date with the Smurfs exploring far flung locations like forests, desert islands,
mountain tops and even space. A new major area, the game’s 5th, is slated for release early next year.
“Smurfs'™ Village" launched in November of 2010 and quickly jumped to the top of the
App Store's Top Free and Top Grossing charts. To date, "Smurfs' Village" has appeared as the
top-grossing app in 80 countries. The title also ranked within the top 100 top-grossing apps for iPad for more than 1,000
consecutive days on Apple’s App Store.
In "Smurfs' Village" players build Smurfs'
village from the ground up after an attack from the evil Gargamel. Based on the original cartoon and comic art, players begin
the game with only a single mushroom house and a lone plowed plot of land. From there, things quickly progress, allowing players
to build specialized houses, elaborate gardens with colorful crops, bridges to span running rivers, trodden paths, and more.
“Smurf’s Village” recently saw a sequel release to the App Store. Dubbed, “Smurfs Village
and the Magical Meadow,” the game modernized the “Smurf’s Village” experience with beautiful 3D graphics
and enhanced gameplay. Both “Smurfs’ Village” and “Smurfs’ Village and the Magical Meadow”
can be downloaded from the App Store for free.
