Profusion Studios is delighted to announce iStunt 1.1, an update to their popular 2D Snowboard game for iPhone and iPod touch. Developed specifically to leverage the iPhone’s unique capabilities and touch interface, iStunt is an addictive 2D game with a strong emphasis on physics. Perform amazing stunts while snowboarding through impossible scenarios in a unique game experience.
iStunt features 25 unique levels (including 2 tutorials) with each level requiring earned skills during gameplay. The game offers simple, yet compelling graphics and focuses on the gameplay experience with smooth camera and special zoom spots, such as cliffs and dangerous places. iStunt features two gaming modes, both with online scoreboard support via OpenFeint: in Stunt Mode, players reach a maximum score by performing amazing stunts. Under Time Trial Mode, players must complete levels in the shortest time possible. iStunt is powered by Box2D, Cocos2D and OpenFeint.
Easy to play, but difficult to master, each level is more challenging as the game progresses. Players swipe up to jump, swipe down to crouch and use two fingers to zoom in and zoom out. By tilting the device to control the Stunt Man in mid-air, players dodge and jump over floating mountains, spinning saws and dangerous stalagmites while taking advantage of boost zones to increase speed. iStunt also takes advantage of both landscape holding positions with gravity inversion. Players can rotate the device 180 degrees to continue playing.

"The level of excitement around iStunt has been increasing," said Andre Almeida, founder of Lisbon based Profusion Studios. "The user response to the game truly motivates me to keep adding new surreal levels and new unseen physics-related features in order to provide a great gaming experience to the player. The sound of the board touching the ground, sense of spectators watching the amazing stunts, smooth camera zooms on important spots, etc. I have tried to polish these aspects of the game to immerse players in an addictive 2D experience."
Version 1.1 includes minor bug fixes and a huge graphics improvement over the previous version, with five completely new levels. iStunt now offers users the ability to optionally calibrate the accelerometer, and now supports OpenFeint Achievements, a welcomed addition players will like.
