“Lion Pride HUGE” Challenges Player to Stalk Their Territory and Ambush Prey

WALTHAM, MA, November 1, 2010 – Blue Fang Games^TM, the leading independent social and mobile game developer today announced the launch of its first iPad game titled “Lion Pride HUGE“.

“Lion Pride HUGE” is an addictive, fast-paced game in which the player controls lions as they stalk their territory and ambush prey. Using simple finger gestures, the player positions their lions, slowly stalks their prey and runs in for the attack. Players can coordinate multiple lions to trap animals or take down larger game. It’s a race against the clock – if the player doesn’t provide enough food for their cubs, they will go hungry and it’s ‘game over’!

“Lion Pride” for iPhone was a Top 10 paid Strategy game in over 30 countries, received a 4.5 out of 5 rating from Macworld and was awarded “AppAddict’s Best of 2009: Path Drawing Game”. Lion Pride HUGE preserves the popular gameplay of the original and offers players an improved experience with new multi-touch controls and enhanced visuals that take full advantage of the iPad’s larger screen size and superior resolution.

“We are very excited to bring Lion Pride HUGE to the iPad,” said Eduardo Baraf, Studio Director of Blue Fang Games. “The iPad’s large multi-touch play surface transforms the experience and makes this great game even better.”

Lion Pride is available now from Apple’s App Store (http://www.itunes.com/apps/LionPridehuge) for $4.99.
