Attacked by a barking mad dog!

THE MIGHTY TROGLODYTES

Strasbourg / France - 7 September 2006

Having crossed China with Yu: A Warrior Tale, defied the Daltons in Lucky Luke Outlaws and uncovered an extraordinary world in Adventure Boy In Zooloo land, The Mighty Troglodytes, creators of video games for mobile phones, announce the development of a new series that will really put your reflexes to the test.

Crazy, a raging dog

In Crazy Dog, the first title from the Garden Stories series, the player assumes the identity of Crazy, a dog that has been bitten by a Frenzy Mosquito. The mosquito bite has turned Crazy so mad that he attacks anything that moves, and his masters no longer dare to get close to him at feeding time. Afraid, they leave his food bowls far from him. Tied to a post in the middle of a fenceless garden, Crazy must fight off the starving neighbourhood dogs, which will try anything to steal his food. The player's goal is to keep the other dogs away from Crazy's food bowls, to stop him getting depressed.

Gameplay

Displayed on a fixed screen, Crazy Dog offers intuitive playability and is very straightforward. To defend his food bowls, Crazy can move in 8 directions, using 8 keys on the phone. Crazy automatically barks as he approaches his enemies, to frighten them away. With each new level, the number of enemy dogs on the screen increases and the player must demonstrate sang-froid and dexterity to ward off these increasingly determined canines.

With its simple concept and unbeatable fun, Crazy Dog is the ideal companion for players looking for an immediate, quick challenge as well as scorers, who will find Crazy Dog a tense and addictive game.

With its pick-up-and-play design, frenetic gameplay, and the Mighty Troglodytes' unique graphical style, Crazy Dog will be available in May. Smash The Mole and Gob 'n' Frog, the other two titles in the Garden Stories series, will be released in July and September, respectively. The games will be available in Java, on more than 200 handsets* in the main languages of the countries where they will be distributed* (French, English, German, Italian, Spanish).
