Los Angeles, July 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- July 13, 2016 – Outfit7, the entertainment company behind the hugely successful Talking Tom and Friends franchise breaks ground today on two fronts: surpassing the 4.5 billion download mark, making it one of the most downloaded app franchises worldwide, and launching Talking Tom Gold Run. Outfit7’s new “go for the gold” game immerses players in a way that goes above and beyond the routine of a runner mechanic game, giving players a reason to run. Stunning graphics and intricately designed worlds, boosters, and incentives let players experience an ongoing story through the eyes of Talking Tom and the gang.
“Through the limited release test, we saw how receptive gamers were to the unique combination of a runner and builder style of gameplay,” said Samo Login, founder and CEO of Outfit7. “With so many different elements used within this game, several player emotions are evoked, including courage, independence, self-realization and motivation.”
Talking Tom Gold Run begins with a robbery, causing the player to run as fast as possible to retrieve the fallen gold bars, dodge obstacles and collect rewards. Each component of the game allows players to ‘Go for the Gold’ as they help Talking Tom and Friends build their dream homes. The game currently has seven worlds to unlock, including the city, woods, beach and more. As the completion of each character’s house progresses, new building upgrades, characters and running segments become available.
“Talking Tom Gold Run draws the user in with an interactive storyline, top-notch graphics and iconic characters that users have come to know and love,” said Samo Login. “We guarantee the gamer will never get bored with so many unique worlds and segments to unlock.”
Talking Tom Gold Run is free to download on all major platforms and includes the option for in-app purchases, which range in price. The app also contains social features, allowing users to connect with friends through Facebook to see high scores. For more information, download the app today!
