Retro Video Game Design Meets Music Reflex In 'SMACK ME,' A New iPhone Game From FunMobility

Bop-it inspired Arcade Title Now Among Top 20 Paid Games In iPhone Music Category

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FunMobility, a leading provider of innovative wireless community and media services, today announced the availability of Smack Me, a new music reflex game, which is accompanied by an original retro 80s video game soundtrack that follows players through a series of addictively challenging levels and difficulty sessions.

Smack Me is hosted by a loveable robot character named Ito, and just like in the 80s electronic game Simon, Ito gives you plenty of time to respond to him in the early rounds, then the action gets faster and faster. When he drinks his milkshake you better shake him. When he raises his lobster pinchers, you better pinch him. Challenge your friends to beat your score and see who will be the first to make it to 100%!

"Smack Me is a mix of Wii plus iPhone and a little old school arcade all wrapped into one," said Adam Lavine, CEO of FunMobility. "It's a great game that takes advantage of the iPhone's accelerometer and touch screen in a fun, addictive package."

Exclusively available for the iPhone, Smack Me uses the iPhone's multi-touch and accelerometer for a unique gaming experience not possible on the Nintendo DS, Microsoft Xbox or even Sony Playstation. Play with the retro soundtrack live, or use your headsets. There is plenty of action to keep players entertained, and even two additional unlockable commands offered through Ito who will guide you through medium difficulty "Freeze Me!" and "Lift Me!" challenges.

Smack Me recently broke into the top 20 for paid games / music subcategory on the iPhone, standing out as one of the most popular music reflex apps on the market today. FunMobility's direct-to-consumer website, FunMo.com, powers the Smack Me application, which can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store for $2.99. Additionally, Smack Me can be purchased directly from http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funmo.com&esheet=5909186&lan=en_US&anchor=www.funmo.com&index=2.
