Mobile Gamers “Play For Prizes” with Sandlot
Games’ Super Slyder
Sandlot Games and Twistbox bring action-packed
puzzle game to mobile; players compete for fabulous prizes
Sandlot Games today announced the release of
Super Slyder as a Play For Prizes game on mobile devices. Through the Play For
Prizes format created by Twistbox Games, players can purchase a month-long game
subscription and compete against one another for amazing prizes including sports
equipment, the latest gadgets, and gift cards from leading retailers such as
TicketMaster, Best Buy, Amazon, and Sharper Image. Players can go head-to-head
daily, play progressively over a week or month, or enter a mega raffle, all to
win iPods, flatscreen TVs and more.
“Super Slyder is a great fit for the Play For
Prizes format – its mind-bending puzzles are incredibly easy to play on mobile
devices, and perfect for competitive action,” said Daniel Bernstein, founder and
CEO of Sandlot Games. “Now new and existing Slyder fans can put their skills to
the test and compete against each other for tons of cool prizes. We’re really
excited to be partnering with Twistbox so our fan-base can partake in some
friendly Super Slyder competition.”
Super Slyder is an action-packed puzzle game that
follows the adventures of the lovable, blue, spherical hero Slyder, and the
sequel to Sandlot Games’ PC and mobile sensation, Slyder. The game contains more
than 280 levels of fast-paced puzzles, nine unique characters with hilarious
animations, and endless hours of fun.
Play For Prizes is a Twistbox Games creation that
provides competitive play against real people with daily, weekly and monthly
tournaments available. All tournament play is asynchronous and players within a
seed are given identical game conditions, making it a true test of gaming skill.
Play For Prizes is immediately available on Verizon Wireless and will shortly
launch with other major carriers worldwide, with a monthly single game
subscription costing approximately $3.49 (U.S.) and the unlimited play option of
$7.99 (U.S.). Prizes include gift cards to various retailers, mp3 players, iPods,
game consoles, digital cameras, flatscreen TVs and more.
“Sandlot Games’ Super Slyder fits the Play For
Prizes mold perfectly – the game is straightforward, highly competitive and
addictive, and the characters and game play keep you coming back for more,” said
Alison Horstmeyer, Vice President, Business Development of Twistbox Games. “The
fact that players can win high-value prizes on a daily basis by competing in
skill-based, head-to-head tournaments against real players, not only makes the
game even more compelling but also drives sustained game subscriptions.”
