The folks at Tricky Software have released a version of their Armado game for the iPhone and iPod touch. It costs US$4.99 and is available at the Apple App Store.
Here’s how the Tricksters describes the game: “Assume the role of Armado the armadillo and embark upon a great adventure to free the Queen of the land. The Queen is a Great Eagle, the last of an ancient race. While on a journey to visit the Queen, Armado learned of a growing darkness from the South; armies of giant ants marching Northward. They moved slowly at first, but eventually overwhelmed and colonized the legendary eagle nests in the mountains. Soon, the Queen herself was captured, and imprisoned. Just as Armado bowed his head and turned for home, he noticed an old fox. The fox was dressed in old tattered robes and told Armado that the Queen herself had foretold that he would meet a great hero at this very spot. Armado did not think for a moment that meant him. Then the fox handed him a satchel filled with magical eggs, and told Armado that one by one they must be placed into the ancient nests. Before Armado could speak the fox was gone in a puff of blue smoke. And so began Armado’s quest to help free the Queen.”
