World Video Gaming Companies Focus on Launching Newest Mobile Game Applications & Software as Revenue Opportunities Continue to Grow for Gaming Sector


CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, July 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

The global market continues to grow rapidly for mobile gaming & video software development as demand and consumer expectations force gaming operations to differentiate themselves from the competition.  Leading Gaming Companies in the news lately are Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM), Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), Zynga INC. (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) and Sony PlayStation - Sony Corporation (NYSE: SNE)

Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM), releases Deadliest Catch: Seas of Fury™, an official mobile game developed in conjunction with Discovery Channel through a partnership with licensed mobile game producers, HyperPower Game Group. The competitive, free-to-play game is available now for iOS and launches this week with support from Discovery, which includes on-air exposure. Though designed as an animated pixel game, Deadliest Catch: Seas of Fury offers show fans and mobile game lovers alike a highly authentic experience of the harrowing weather conditions, daily struggles and beautiful but pernicious sea-life experienced by the cast of Discovery's hit Emmy-winning series, currently in its 12th season. A version of the game for Android players will be available soon, with a Kindle version expected later this summer.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE GAME'S VIDEO TRAILER

The Deadliest Catch: Seas of Fury Mobile Game features a two-phased gameplay dynamic that leverages both classic and innovative mechanics. After customizing their own deckhand avatar and selecting one of six recognizable boats from the show, like the Northwestern and Cornelia Marie, players are challenged to hook buoys in a mechanic similar to that made famous by Angry Birds. Gameplay then shifts to the ocean floor, where players must tap quickly and carefully to fend off dangerous sea life as each level's pot of crabs is hauled to the surface. Virtual earnings can be used at a robust marketplace offering items such as hooks, line, captain's jackets and bait, which allow players to upgrade their gameplay experience. At launch, players can engage in challenges, compete on global leaderboards and work their way toward completing as many 21-level seasons as possible.
