Pixowl Announces Licensing Partnership with Skybound
Award Winning World Crafting Game The Sandbox to Feature Characters from Invincible
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — December 17th, 2014 — Leading publisher of casual mobile games Pixowl and Robert Kirkman, the Eisner Award-winning creator and writer of The Walking Dead and Invincible for his Skybound Imprint at Image Comics, today announced a licensing partnership to feature Skybound’s characters in The Sandbox, the award-winning world-builder simulation game. Under the deal, Pixowl will integrate multiple characters from Invincible into new campaigns of The Sandbox for iOS, Android and Steam. The Sandbox will receive two separate updates which will be made available first on Apple iOS platform with Android and Steam platforms following shortly thereafter. The first update is scheduled for December 18th, 2014.
“The team at Pixowl have proven to be leaders in mobile game publishing and I am looking forward to having the characters from Invincible join The Sandbox world” said Robert Kirkman.
“The Invincible license blends perfectly into The Sandbox’s wide gameplay spectre with its hundreds of elements and unique word building challenges,” said Arthur Madrid, CEO of Pixowl. “The Sandbox is our most popular game with more than 13 million downloads and 1.5 million MAUs. The new Invincible characters will continue to connect players and provide them with high quality entertainment experiences, filling the void left by other builder games.”
The Invincible campaign story will be based upon the fight of the Teen-Team characters against the Sequids. In each level, the player will learn more about the Sequids and have several encounters and opportunities to fight against them.
The first update includes four Invincible super-heroes characters with incredible powers:
● Invincible: The main character includes Melee fighting with super strengths and flying movements. Players can break walls and punch enemies!
● Rex-Splode: Using Rex the player can shoot controlled explosions and even Rocket Jump!
● Dupli-Kate: This Cloning character lets players control up to four Kates at the same time with special “one-controls-all” movement control.
● Monster Girl: A girl who can convert herself into a big green monster with super strength. She can punch and throw a big rock over her head.
The second update, scheduled for late January 2015, will feature a unique campaign of 10 or more levels filled with action and puzzles. Players will solve these levels by wisely using the powers of the heroes, as well as the supervillain “Sequids” which are dozens of single pixel elements that crawl and infect humans converting them into super villains.
In The Sandbox, players take on the role of God and have the power to create worlds of life or destroy anything and everything all with the tap of a finger. Players can choose to play as a benevolent deity that gives life to majestic environments, or they can be a vengeful deity and spawn disaster and devastation. Players have access to more than 250 different elements to craft these worlds. Basic elements like water, soil, sand, glass and more complex attributes such as humans, zombies, robots, dinosaurs, wildlife, intelligent contraptions and animals are featured. These are all used to create varied pixel universes, physics simulators, contraptions, electronic circuits, chiptunes music, stunning pixel art masterpieces, and chain reactions.
The Sandbox gameplay takes a mission-based approach to creation. The game has 23 thematic campaigns—Brainiac, Arnold Action, Country Life, Zombie Survival, Alien Invasion, Dinosaurs, Music, Pixel Art and many more. With 350 levels, players need to solve various physical puzzles using the elements and their skills.
Once a new world has been created, players can share them in the online gallery. Pixowl’s extremely active community consists of 650,000 fans on Facebook have created more than 1,250,000 user-created worlds.
