The forthcoming update will introduce a brand new Challenge 6 including 10 all-new waves, as well as much-requested "Pro" and "Hardcore" modes, taking the iPhone/iPod touch gridiron action to a whole new level.
Included in the free update:
• Pro Mode – Take the field against tacklers with increased and enhanced AI, for the fiercest and most bone-jarring tackles yet.

• Brand New Challenge 6 including 10 all new waves . Our best wave designs yet!
• Backbreaker Helmet – Can you beat the developers’ scores? If so, the ultimate trophy can be yours.
“After Backbreaker went live, we read literally more than a thousand reviews and listened to all the feedback,” said Torsten Reil, CEO NaturalMotion. “This free update addresses the two things fans wanted more than anything else: more waves and a greater challenge. The tougher AI, new waves and enhanced tackles make you play in a whole new style, and it feels great.”

About Backbreaker Football
Inspired by a mini-game taken from NaturalMotion’s Backbreaker (in development for Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3), Backbreaker Football on the iPhone/iPod touch is an intense, arcade football experience. Using accelerometer controls and on-screen buttons, the player must sprint, juke and spin past waves of oncoming defenders, racking up point combos and score multipliers on their way to the endzone. Through Facebook integration, players are able to see how their high-scores stack up against their friends’.
