Tower Studios’ Action Shooter, Shoot to Kill for iPhone, Gets Update
LONDON – September 2, 2010 – Tower Studios, a new publisher of games based on original and existing brands, today announced the first update to its free-to-play action shooter, Shoot to Kill. One of the key features of the update is the full implementation of the Free for Freaks in-game arcade credit system, which is now live. The company also doubled the number of lives players receive via the Game Continue Pack, from five to 10, making it more accessible to players without extreme gaming skills. The Game Continue Pack can be purchased in-App for $0.99.
“Our goal is to continually update our games and look for new ways to challenge our loyal players and fans,” said Jon Hare, CEO of Tower Studios. “Shoot to Kill is just the first blockbuster title from a portfolio of games that Tower will be releasing over the next year.”
Tower Studios currently has multiple titles in development and is actively looking for developers and brands that fit the Free for Freaks model. For more information visit: www.tower-studios.com
