Airborne Entertainment Launches New Mobile Version of Ishido

Airborne Entertainment Inc. announced today an exclusive deal with MauiGames Studio to launch the mobile equivalent of the widely popular PC game Ishido throughout North America. With the original PC Game hailed by MacUser Magazine as “stunning,” “flawless,” and “…a mesmerizing game that will keep you spellbound,” the mobile version of Ishido™ is expected to be a hit in the popular casual puzzle mobile games category as it launches across major carriers in the U.S., including Cingular and T-Mobile.

"Puzzle games have emerged as one of the top-selling mobile games categories and Airborne is extremely pleased to be partnering with MauiGames to deliver Ishido to the industry’s most widely carried small screen," said Patrick Perreault, Games Product Manager at Airborne Entertainment. "Fans will be mesmerized with the depth of the game play which makes the game remarkably addictive and challenging.”

“For nearly two decades Ishido has been the second most popular computer puzzle game just after Tetris® and its game play style makes it particularly well suited for the cell phone display format,” said David Fradin, President of MauiGames Studio a division of AdCell Media.

Originally released as a PC game, Ishido: Way of The Stones became an instant hit in its genre and was the first game to receive the coveted Five Mice evaluation by MacUser Magazine. Ishido has been adapted to multiple platforms because of its unique and addictive game play that belongs to the "meditative strategy" genre where players are tasked with the challenge of matching stones of corresponding color and symbol on the game board. With various levels of difficulty, multiple graphic themes, and easy to master controls, Ishido for mobile will appeal to both casual gamers and hardcore card game players.
