Chugs and Toygers and Labradoodles, Oh My!: Storm8 Delivers Maximum Cuteness With New Pet Shop Story for iOS

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 12, 2011) - Storm8, the mobile social gaming leader, today announced the launch of Pet Shop Story for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The latest free-to-play game from Storm8's famed TeamLava studio, Pet Shop Story offers pet lovers the best of both worlds: all the adorable animals their hearts could desire, without any of the allergies or cleanup.

Pet Shop Story players start by choosing from the cuddliest puppies, kittens and chicks ever to appear on a mobile screen. They create lovely habitats for their furry friends and crossbreed them to produce inventive mixes like chugs (Chihuahuas plus pugs), labradoodles (Labradors plus poodles), toygers (Bengal cat plus short-haired cat) and more! They can even visit their neighbors' pet stores and show theirs off to friends from Facebook or Storm8's network of players.

Free weekly updates give players an expanding selection of pets and décor, allowing for endlessly creative breeding combinations and design options. With gorgeous graphics and exciting in-game rewards, Pet Shop Story is the best-looking, best-playing free pet game for iOS.

"With Pet Shop Story, we've created a social game that's both visually delightful and impossible to put down," said Perry Tam, CEO of Storm8.
