TapStar Interactive and First Star Software Update on Boulder Dash [Professional Services Close - Up]


(Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TapStar Interactive and First Star Software report Boulder Dash is now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

According to a company release, Boulder Dash-30th Anniversary reunites the two original creators of the classic hit - TapStar co- founder Chris Gray and Peter Liepa - for the first time since the Rockford character was first introduced in 1984. Co-publisher First Star Software, Inc. and developers Katsu Entertainment and SoMa Play also contributed to the game's design and development.



When the game begins, you play as the protagonist, Rockford, facing a slew of new and challenges as you dig through caves with 3D elements. Avoid falling boulders, discover treasure chests and potent power-ups, collect valuable gems and avoid nefarious enemies along the way as you search for the exit before time runs out.

"We stayed true to the classic 2D style gameplay of Boulder Dash, but utilized the Unity engine to make it look like a modern 3D game," said Chris Gray, founder and CEO of TapStar Interactive. "We want to respect our die hard fans by giving them the classic strategy, action and puzzles that they love - and still utilize all the great new technology that appeals to younger generations that have never played Boulder Dash before." Boulder Dash - 30th Anniversary is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at AppStore.com.
