FISHLABS rolls out the heavy artillery for the iPhone with Toy Tanks 3D FISHLABS will publish Toy Tanks 3D in a free ad-financed version and an ad-free purchase version at the price of € 1.59 for the iPhone and iPod touch

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH, leading developer and publisher of high-quality 3D mobile games, today announced the publication of their new 3D game Toy Tanks™ for the iPhone and iPod touch. In Toy Tanks™ 3D, players sit in a toy tank and must fight against the evil dictator Yussuf Al Fatal and his henchmen in nine levels.

The tanks rumble through the levels automatically, while players operate the cannon and rocket launcher to dispose of their opponents. But under enemy fire, it is a good idea to close the tank’s hatch now and then and to proceed defensively. The simple controls make the game especially interesting for beginners and casual gamers. In addition, the game offers lively 3D graphics in a snazzy cartoon style and comical sound effects.

Toy Tanks™ 3D will appear in a free ad-financed version and an ad-free purchase version at the competitive price of € 1.59 Euro ($ 1.99). ‘With its extremely intuitive controls and the comical graphics, Toy Tanks™ 3D offers a real alternative, even for less hard-bitten casual gamers,’ says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH. ‘We have set the price correspondingly low. For thrifty players, we also offer the full version for free with commercials.’
