An Artistic Hidden Object Simulation, Art Mogul, Available on Mac Today, care of G5 Entertainment & Funzai!

13 Apr

Creative mix of simulation, hidden object and strategy challenges your artistic eye required to be a world-renowned mogul of the arts

San Francisco, California – April 11, 2013 – Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be an art dealer? Try Art Mogul, a special creative mix of simulation, hidden object and strategy game from G5 and Funzai!, and see if you have the skill and talent to own a successful art gallery. The game introduces you to a mesmerizing world of art and the process of distinguishing fakes from masterpieces, acquiring priceless collections, and properly pricing valuable paintings. Then, it gives you a chance to build your own successful auction house. Released on iOS as a free app a month ago, Art Mogul has instantly won fans’ and critics love, and now is ready to hook in Mac users.

 

Art Mogul tests you to see if you have an artistic eye required to be a world-renowned mogul of the arts. You will travel around the world, bidding at exciting auctions, exposing fakes and masterpieces as well as acquiring priceless collections. Find over a thousand objects, open your very own art gallery and build your art empire that will stand the test of time.

Screenshot 1

One of the distinguishing features of Art Mogul is uniqueness of game sessions. It’s up to you to buy a famous artwork in the gallery that is a guaranteed original, or look for masterpieces in the cafes, though they often host skilled counterfeits. To lower the price of the painting you need to find various items on it. If you find all the hidden objects, you’ll get a large discount. Then you can visit another gallery to sell the pattern at a higher price. If you purchased a fake artwork in a café, you can sell it to another café or even to a gallery, but it can put your career at risk.

Screenshot 3

In order to get a precious painting at a lower price and prevent other dealers from further bidding, you’ll have to find an object on the painting that is shown at the bottom of the screen in a few seconds. If you fail to do this, you may end up paying higher for the painting than it actually costs. Another source of income is requested paintings. If you can find and deliver an artwork with particular elements, you’ll get a considerable fee for it.

Innovative gameplay, remarkable graphics and artistic atmosphere make Art Mogul a valuable gaming experience for all casual game fans. The game is developed by Funzai! and published on Mac OS and iOS by G5 Entertainment.

Key Features:

  • 430 Pictures worth a thousand words
  • 21 Hidden object scenes
  • 7 Exciting cities to visit: San-Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Saint-Petersburg, Shanghai, and Tokyo
  • 40 Achievements to earn
  • 3 Art Museums to buy

Art Mogul is available for download on Mac and in a full version on iPhone and iPad today. The MSRP of the game is $1.99 on iPhone, $2.99 on iPad & Mac through April 13 (reg. $2.99 on iPhone and $4.99 on iPad, Mac). Originally the game was developed for PC by Funzai!.

The Game Bakers’ Undersea RPG, SQUIDS, Swims Onto New Platforms This Week

29 Feb

Quirky game available today for Android, coming March 1 to Mac

SQUIDS_Mac_Laststand

PARIS – February 28, 2012 – Independent developer The Game Bakers is bringing their popular tactical RPG, SQUIDS, to Android and Mac this week. These releases represent the first new platforms for a game that has already had great success on iPhone and iPad, where it ranked as the App Store’s #1 RPG in 34 countries and spent a week as the #1 paid app overall in France.

SQUIDS_Mac_Turtle

Set in a colourful underwater kingdom, SQUIDS is a creative RPG with a humorous storyline, gorgeous cartoon artwork, and turn-based battles that pit a team of scrappy Squid heroes against hordes of ooze-infected crabs and shrimp. An accessible game easily enjoyed by casual gamers, SQUIDS also has impressive gameplay depth and production values that will appeal to a hardcore audience, thanks to the developers’ previous experience working on AAA computer and console games. Both the Android and Mac versions are localized into five languages: English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.

SQUIDS_Mac_ThroneRoom

SQUIDS_Mac_Thalas

The Android version of SQUIDS was developed in partnership with Tapjoy, the mobile advertising and publishing platform, as part of the Tapjoy Android Fund. The Android game, which has been rebalanced as a free-to-play adventure with a new selection of in-app purchases, can now be downloaded from the Android Market, Amazon’s Appstore, GetJar, and other Android stores.

“The Tapjoy team was incredibly helpful at all steps of the game development, sharing the amazing expertise they built working with many top notch developers,” says The Game Bakers’ President Audrey Leprince. Tapjoy’s European Sales Manager John Henn adds, “We’re incredibly excited to be working with The Game Bakers to bring this highly engaging and fun franchise to Android. Their creative talents are evident in SQUIDS‘ strong iOS performance, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to make an impact in the games industry.”

Next up is the Mac version, which will release on the Mac App Store and other digital stores on March 1. As the first version of SQUIDS for desktop computers, the Mac version has intuitive mouse controls and enhanced graphics optimized for screen resolutions up to 1900×1200. SQUIDS for Mac incorporates much of the bonus content released for iOS over the past five months, such as additional missions and stat-boosting helmets — all with no in-app purchase required.

“From the very beginning, we wanted to bring SQUIDS to players of all platforms, so we developed it with a much deeper scope than most mobile games. Then we put a lot of effort into making sure the game plays great on the Mac,” says Emeric Thoa, The Game Bakers’ Creative Director. “This Mac release is a big milestone for us, and just the first of a series of releases on ‘larger’ platforms alongside the mobile versions of SQUIDS.”
