Tocco Robo

For Immediate Release: Dundee – 20 May 2009: The gentleman coders at Scotland’s newest iPhone and iPod developer Electric TopHat announce today that the first in a series of expansive updates for their colourful and horribly addictive puzzle title Tocco Robo will hit App Store in June.

Tocco Robo is Electric TopHat’s take on the block puzzle format, where players must line up rows of three matching robots to earn time and points. The premise is simple and accessible, but intense combo chains and five increasingly devious skill settings will put even the most seasoned puzzle fan to the test. With a slick art style and incredibly catchy tunes provided by the talented Robo Choir, this is a puzzle game with real character and charm.

Tocco Robo - Classic Version 1.1 will Feature:

• New Icon with a new Robo Trapped inside.

• Improved the game performance significantly.

• Improved the touch detection to make moving the Robos easier.

• Improved the Robo tutorial

• Added in a double collect multiplier for more points.

• Added auto detection of the iPod music and auto disable the game music.

Bert McDowell of Electric TopHat said: “We really have a soft spot for Tocco Robo at Electric TopHat as it’s a charming game that players of all ages and skill can quite easily get into. As with all of our addictive puzzle games, it’s hard to stop playing once you get started and this is ideal for the iPhone format, particularly for playing while travelling.”

Tocco Robo is available on App Store now (Priced £0.59/ $0.89/€0.69)
