Chuck Gnome for iPhone Available Now

Movable Sprites, a brand new mobile application developer, has recently announced the launch its first iPhone title, Chuck Gnome. An arcade-style shooting game, Chuck Gnome is about a fearless hero, which is described as being part garden gnome, part slingshot ninja. The players are challenged to take control of the brave hero and face extreme danger by battling dragons and demons.

“Chuck Gnome is a simple game that anyone can enjoy for a few minutes at a time,” said Steve Tompkins, Co-founder of Movable Sprites. "The unique ability to tilt your iPhone to rotate the playing field adds a strategic element that makes this game a challenge to master. After nearly eight months of development, if our kids still tolerate us using them as our play testers, we think the public will have a great time with it too."
