PikPok's Extinction Squad Out Now on iOS

PikPok, the mobile development arm of Wellington-based Sidhe, have released their latest title for iPad and iPhone. Called Extinction Squad, the game challenges players to save endangered animals in an unusual way.

From the press release:

The game challenges gamers to join daredevil scientist Chuck Darwin's elite team of zoological defenders and embark on a globe-trotting adventure to rescue endangered animals from extinction.

Dodos, gorillas, pandas, lions and more are GOING TO DIE unless you catch them with your official Extinction Squad trampoline and bounce them to safety. Miss and they will be nothing but bloody smears on the ground...and footnotes in the natural history books.

The game, which appears to have a lot in common with a Game & Watch called "Fire" released by Nintendo in 1980, is available on iTunes as a universal app for $1.29
