EGGBARGO Friday 2nd December, 10am UK Today Codemasters eggcitedly unveiled a brand new gameplay video featuring Dizzy, the iconic videogame character resurreggted from the 8 bit-era for the 21st century, now showing at www.DizzyGame.com. Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk, a special eggdition of the 1991 eggventure, is due to launch on “Egg-mergence Day” – Friday 9th December – for iPad(£2.49), iPhone(£1.49) and Android devices(£1.49), offering eggceptional value for gamers.
The new video shows the classic cartoon eggventurer exploring the magical kingdom of Keldor in this faithful remake of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk. Our hard boiled hero is shown in eggsplosive action as he helps lions, eggs-changes items with the Grim Reaper and, crucially, scares Rockwart the Troll. Using his trademark jumps and tumbles, Dizzy displays eggstraordinary agility as he vaults his way through tree tops, crosses the river Styx and rides platforms through a castle. To help him on his scramble to save the Yolkfolk and rescue his girlfriend Daisy, Dizzy can collect and use items – from matches to axes and buckets of water. It’s all in a day’s work for the fry-hard hero.
The iOS and Android editions of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk are being developed by DNA Interactive, with Paul Ranson, the game’s original project director, heading development. Simple touch screen controls, HD graphics, revamped retro score and classic gameplay will combine to send egg-static fans oeuf-er the moon.
Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk will be published by Codemasters on “Egg-mergence Day”, Friday 9th December and will be available from the App Store for iPad and iPhone and from Android Market for Android phones and tablets.
