Press Release

VANCOUVER – June 16, 2011 – Hothead Games today announced the release of, Cell Bound, their latest game for iPhone and iPad.  This simple and addictive puzzle matching game is available in the App Store now for $0.99.

When playing Cell Bound, players will be placed immediately in control of an important piece of science equipment – a sterile culture dish. Unfortunately as soon as the dish is in the player’s hands it is subjected to contamination from a constant bombardment of colored cell structures.

To save the scientific sample, the player has to spin the dish around using on-screen controls, catching and matching different colored cell structures as they drop into the field of play. Link 5 or more of the same color and cause the cells to burst and vanish before they can contaminate the whole dish. Burst more chains at a faster rate to score more points.

Cell Bound has three different game modes to play, plus Game Center support:

• Infinite Mode: The main mode, colored cells drop towards the center and explode when 5 like colors are connected.  All of the cells can be burst using the smart bomb trigger in the center of the dish. More smart bombs can be accrued by racking up points.
• Timer Mode: Gain as many points as possible in 1:30 minutes.  There are no smart bombs, and for every 1,200 points, one more second is added to the timer.
• Burst Mode: Cells that connect and are not the same color turn black and inert, obstructing the new cells.

Cell Bound is available for $0.99 in the App Store now: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cell-bound/id436300877?mt=8&ls=1
