The team has kept the elements that made the original so much fun to play, and merged them with a cool, retro HD art style, updated controls and play mechanics to keep both old-school fans and newcomers happy. This new incarnation delivers a best-in-class experience of the game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. In fact, it was the game that inspired quite a few of us to seek a career in game development. “We loved Pitfall! then-along with millions of gamers around the world-and we still love it now. “The original Pitfall! on the Atari 2600 pioneered the action-platform/runner genre,” said Gordon Hall. Here’s what Hall had to say about the new studio’s Freshman effort: Heading up the group (and joining Activision Mobile as its new COO) is former Rockstar Leeds big Gordon Hall. The game was developed with an retro-HD style in mind by one of Activision’s newest studios, the Leeds (UK) based The Blast Furnace. ![]() The excitement doesn’t stop there, as plans call for the game to evolve over time through future content updates. As players progress, they can sweep up loot, buy power-ups and earn experience, enabling them to advance through the leveling system and compete with friends for the best high scores. Every level-crafted from the ground up exclusively for mobile-packs stunning 3D visuals, instinctive controls and engaging action-adventure gameplay. With the iconic objects from the 2600 classic game – crocodiles, rope swings, gold bars, diamond rings, cobras and more, players will traverse a volcanic island carpeted in sweltering jungle and explore villages long since forgotten by time as they dodge danger in maze-like cave systems. From the moment mobile gamers start playing Pitfall!, they’ll experience an ever-changing landscape with different environments and shifting camera perspectives, vehicles and mine carts, branching paths, and a wide range of hazards to overcome. ![]()
