Touch Squash: World Championship 09
Game developer Rolocule Studios is releasing the first ever squash 3D sports game for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch. The game is titled Touch Squash: World Championship 09 and will attempt to capitalize upon the growing global popularity of this tennis-like sport. It will use the PARS scoring system adopted by the World Squash Federation and offer unique third person perspective as players square off against artificially intelligent opponents, each designed to provide a level of challenge for players that ranges from beginner up to expert levels of difficulty. Players will be able to participate in matches on courts in 24 countries and even compete in 4 unique tournaments around the world.
Touch Squash is the seminal title from Rolocule and the company’s hope is that the game will provide not only an outlet for those who enjoy this more obscure sport, but a means through which those interested in squash can learn more of what the sport is all about. Due to the speed at which the ball moves, squash is not suited for televised presentation and as of yet, is not an official Olympic sport.
The recently released v2.0 of Touch Squash also features worldwide multiplayer functionality via the AGON Online social platform for iPhone games. This service allows players to compete against those in other nations to win awards and publish their stories on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.
Touch Squash is available to those with the iPhone 2.2.1 or later update and costs $0.99 from Apple’s App Store.
