Zynga offers 'looney' twist on runner gaming with Looney Tunes Dash for iOS

In mid-September, Zynga soft-launched Looney Tunes Dash in select markets. Now, the popular social gaming company has officially released the game on the App Store worldwide.

Looney Tunes Dash is a running game based on Warner Bros.’ “Looney Tunes” franchise. But it’s no ordinary running game not only because of its “looney” basis, but also because of its added twist on the well-worn runner gameplay.

You see, rather than challenging you to an endless running game, Looney Tunes Dash actually challenges you to complete levels in order to unlock new levels, characters, and abilities and progress through the game.

And it does so by letting you run as classic “Looney Tunes” characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, and Road Runner, across classic “Looney Tunes” worlds.

What’s more, it lets you collect digital Looney Tunes Collector’s Cards depicting scenes from the original cartoons and featuring fun facts about the series.

Looney Tunes Dash is available now on the App Store as a free-to-play game for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Looney Tunes Dash is developed by Eat Sleep Play, the same studio behind the Zynga-published endless running game Stampede Run (formerly Running with Friends).
