14 DAY TRIAL // I-play just announced the launch of its first application for the iPad, Paradise Quest HD. The addicting arcade game lets players enjoy a dazzling HD graphics and unprecedented touch-screen controls.
In Paradise Quest HD, players have a blast on a tropical adventure as they take on the role of the renowned ecologist Dr. Evan Finch. The story takes place on the island of Isabela, which they must restore to its former beauty.
This won't be easy, as players need to collect natural resources to revive lush vegetation, restore a mighty animal kingdom, and uncover the ancient artifacts of a lost Galapagos civilization.
"The iPad provides so many innovative gaming capabilities, including hi-def resolution and a large, user-friendly touch screen, and we wanted to make sure our first game for the device would really take advantage of these features," said Tony Leamer, VP of Marketing at I-play. "With Paradise Quest such a great success on both the PC and iPhone, we believe that its revolutionary twist on Match-3 gameplay, where players use matches to move around and explore the board, is perhaps an even better fit for the iPad."
The game also offers a unique navigation style that moves players around the gameplay board using their most recent match. For those who want to share the journey with others, the game offers a cross-platform interactive multiplayer mode that allows users to challenge their friends, iPad to iPad or iPad to iPhone/iPod.
Additionally, players who want to take their quest to the next level will be able to unlock the Paradise Nights bonus pack, which offers 20 new levels as part of an in-game micro-transaction purchase. Paradise Quest HD is now available in the Apple App Store for $2.99. A free Lite version of the game is also available.
