DreamWorks Dash n Drop is a legendary sleigh riding game
based on DreamWorks Animation's Rise of the Guardians. When
there's trouble at the North Pole and gifts get scattered
everywhere, it's time to embark on an epic adventure! Players will
gather and deliver gifts to children everywhere as they dash
through the evening sky in the Guardians' magical sleigh. Along the
way, they'll collect elves, coins, power-ups and upgrades as they
travel around the world, all while avoiding Pitch's army of
Nightmare enemies.
"We are thrilled to add this fun and addictive pick-up-and-play
game based on Rise of the Guardians to our ever expanding
app portfolio" said Chris Hewish,
Head of Global Interactive for DreamWorks Animation. "The
film-inspired gameplay is easy to jump into but has layers of
challenge, making it perfect for kids and parents alike."
"Collaborating with DreamWorks on this game has been an absolute
joy" said Mario Wynands, Managing
Director of PikPok. "Dash n Drop brings to life all the fun
and magic that DreamWorks has created in the Rise of
Guardians film right onto your mobile device."
