SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON – Oct. 18, 2012 – SEGA®of America Inc. and SEGA®Europe Ltd. are jumping for joy at the release of Sonic Jump™, Sonic’s first-ever game developed specifically for mobile platforms. The game was developed by Hardlight, a new digital studio composed of former SEGA Tech Group members whose focus is creating entertaining games; Sonic Jump is their first release. You know just how fast Sonic can run; now you can check out just how high he can jump as you tilt your screen to leap through a range of stunning new levels and classic zones from the Sonic universe. Sonic Jump will be bouncing onto the iTunes App Store today for $1.99 / £1.49 / AUD$1.99 / €1.59 on iPod touch, iPad®, iPhone 4® and iPhone 5®.
In Story Mode, Sonic and his friends must stop Dr. Eggman from once again wreaking havoc, this time by jumping up through the levels to eventually take on the evil genius in an exhilarating head-to-head boss battle. Sonic Jump’s additional infinite Arcade Mode allows you to compete against your friends to see who can help Sonic reach the highest heights. The sky really is the limit, as the level won’t stop until Sonic drops! The single-player challenges of Sonic Jump will have Sonic bouncing as high and as fast as possible while collecting rings and earning power-ups to top the leaderboards!
