Peggle HD Arrives For iPad

PopCap Games has announced the immediate availability of their new iPad app, Peggle HD. First launched on PC and Mac in 2007, Peggle has been downloaded more than 30 million times and launches for iOS at a special introductory price. Available for just $2.99 for a limited time, Peggle HD combines elements of pinball, pool, and pachinko to create a completely different kind of game experience. The game challenges players to use skill, strategy, and luck to clear progressively more difficult levels of orange pegs by firing a small silver ball from the top of the screen. According to Andrew Stein, director of mobile business development at PopCap:

“We’re bringing Peggle in all of its glory to mobile gamers everywhere with this fully optimized adaptation, exclusively for the iPad. Peggle HD delivers riveting game action familiar to millions of fans of the original PC blockbuster, and is enhanced with Game Center achievements, like First Bjorn and Circus Daredevil, an in-app purchase option for Peggle Nights, as well as vibrant high-definition color and detail that offers the best of on-the-go entertainment to scores of iPad gamers.”
