Denver
CO -- March 22, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- SPYR, INC. (OTC
Pink: SPYR), a holding company with a wholly owned subsidiary in
the mobile game & app development and publishing
industry, today announced that it will publish Steven
Universe: Tap Together, a new mobile game based on Cartoon
Network’s hit animated series Steven
Universe.
Steven
Universe: Tap Together will be an all-new idle tapper
game where players can collect all of the Crystal Gems and Steven’s
friends from Beach City to fight off the never-ending stream of
imaginary monsters. Defeating each monster gives players XP to
level up their team and coins to unlock new characters and
abilities.
Cartoon
Network’s Emmy-nominated Steven
Universe revolves around Steven, the “little brother” to
a team of magical aliens—the Crystal Gems—who defend the planet
Earth. Steven is the son of the Crystal Gems’ late leader Rose
Quartz and aging aspiring rockstar Mr. Universe. Steven belongs
everywhere and nowhere: he has inherited his mother’s Gem and her
magical powers, but also his father’s humanity and charm. The show
is a slice-of-life action comedy that follows Steven as he attempts
to bridge the gap between the sci-fi fantasy world of Gems and the
cozy, funny, simple-yet-extraordinarily-complicated world of human
beings. Steven Universe is created by Emmy and
Annie Award-nominated writer and New York
Times bestselling author Rebecca
Sugar, and produced by Cartoon
Network Studios.
Mike
Turner, SPYR’s VP of Strategic Partnerships states, “Everyone at
SPYR is very excited to announce our licensing relationship with
Cartoon Network to bring the Steven
Universe world to life in this innovative new title from
Reset. Steven Universe’s very broad and active
fan base will feel the passion that went into creating this game,
we are fans of the IP ourselves, and based on our collaboration
with Cartoon Network and Reset Studios, we are confident it’s going
to be a hit. SPYR is bringing another quality game into
our portfolio, adding the tapper/idle genre, which is seeing a lot
of success in the market these days; so this is exactly the kind of
game we should be publishing, and I am excited for fans and gamers
to see what we have been working on.
