December 18 2014 - 9:00AM
Zynga (Nasdaq:ZNGA), in partnership with Eat Sleep Play, is proud
to announce the worldwide launch of Looney Tunes Dash! now
available for download on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod
touch, and on Google Play. Set within the imaginative and
unpredictable world of the Looney Tunes, Looney Tunes Dash! is a
brand new Runner experience on mobile that challenges players to
run, jump, smash and slide into zany adventures. Starring timeless
characters like Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Tweety and more, the game
takes a new twist on the traditional format of Runner games by
challenging players to complete levels and progress through
episodes set within iconic Looney Tunes landscapes.

players jump into Looney Tunes Dash!, we want them to be struck by
a sense of familiarity and the unique rush of being able to escape
Elmer's clutches and dodge falling anvils," said John vanSuchtelen,
general manager of Looney Tunes Dash! at Zynga. "While the setting
will instantly evoke memories for Looney Tunes fans, we're also
delivering a unique experience based on the requests we heard most
often from players – a Runner game that rewards completion and puts
new challenges around every twist and turn. Working closely with
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, we quickly realized that
the Looney Tunes brand is perfectly suited for the fast-paced and
unpredictable nature of mobile Runner games. We can't wait for
players to jump in and discover it for themselves."
Looney Tunes Dash! is part of Zynga's multi-year agreement with
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to license the beloved brand
for mobile. The Runner category attracts one of the largest and
most globally diverse audiences of mobile players, and as one of
the most widely recognized, cross-generational entertainment brands
ever created, Looney Tunes reaches millions of fans that span
generations around the world. Marking one of the first major mobile
games for a new generation of players, Looney Tunes Dash!
represents a significant extension for the brand on mobile.
Looney Tunes Dash! includes original musical scores and songs
inspired by classic Looney Tunes episodes, and also features
voice-over work from Jeff Bergman, who has provided the voice for
many Looney Tunes characters – including Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck
– in a variety of projects. Key features of Looney Tunes Dash!
include:
- Progress to Unlock New Levels, Characters and
Abilities – Complete level goals to progress on the Looney
Tunes map to unlock new episodes and run as new characters. Earning
coins along the way, players can unlock new skills, gain extra
power-ups and master each character's special ability.
- Classic Looney Tunes Characters in Classic
Worlds – Looney Tunes Dash! features 90 levels at launch
resembling classic episodes like Painted Desert and Tweety's
Neighborhood. Players can run as iconic Looney Tunes characters,
including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Road Runner and more,
with special cameo appearances by Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig and
Taz.
- Test Your Looney Tunes Knowledge – Throughout
each level, discover digital Looney Tunes Collector's Cards –
scenes from the original cartoons featuring fun facts about classic
episodes and moments from the cartoon series, such as Bugs Bunny
posing as a Valkyrie while he bedazzles the lovelorn Elmer Fudd in
What's Opera, Doc?
Looney Tunes Dash! was developed in close collaboration with Eat
Sleep Play, the world-class game developer behind the hit
video game series Twisted Metal. Eat Sleep
Play worked closely with Zynga's team, collaborating on
art, design and engineering and developed a custom 3D engine that
brought the Looney Tunes universe to life for a visually stunning
experience.

English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian,
Danish, Italian, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese,
