OpenFeint Achievements Added to Scarlett and the Spark of Life for iPhone / iPod Touch
Special limited-time offer: Get the full game for free!

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, February 7, 2011 – The acclaimed iPhone / iPod Touch adventure Scarlett and the Spark of Life has become even more entertaining with the addition of OpenFeint support. To mark the occasion, Launching Pad Games and OpenFeint are offering Scarlett and the Spark of Life for free—for one day only! To participate in this extremely limited-time offer, visit the game’s App Store product page.

The first of four planned Scarlett Adventures episodes, Scarlett and the Spark of Life is a witty story game with sharp writing and a memorable cast of characters. While enjoying the company—and comedy—of the gutsy Princess Scarlett and her grumpy mechanical horse, players can now also test their mettle with new OpenFeint achievements that encourage even deeper exploration of the game’s unusual world.

Since its debut in December, numerous players have fallen in love with Scarlett’s story, characters, and humor. The game has been consistently well reviewed, with Paste Magazine praising its presentation as “damn near flawless” and Wired.com’s GeekDad calling it “brilliantly written” with “priceless dialogue.” Key game features include an intuitive ‘point and tap’ interface, frustration-free gameplay, and developer commentary that provides insights into the design process.

When the limited-time free game offer ends, Scarlett and the Spark of Life will return to its new low price of $1.99. Screenshots, a trailer, and other game information can be found on the official website.

Fans who want an inside look at the game series’ development and access to special community offers are invited to visit the Scarlett Adventures Facebook page.
