|
Boost Mobile has partnered with Blister Entertainment, a leading provider of location-based entertainment services to introduce Swordfish and Torpedo Bay, the first GPS-enabled Java games in the U.S. Boost customers can play both games now by downloading the applications directly from their Java technology-enabled Boost phone. Each game costs $5.99 for the first month and $2.99 for each additional month.
Pilot the Navy’s latest Scout Submarine and engage the enemy Torpedo Bay is a location-based naval battle game that uses GPS technology in a Boost customer's phone to locate health and ammo around them then mount the high seas and battle for their survival. Once the phone determines the player’s location, the screen changes to a top-down view of a map with ships, health and ammo located on it. Players can keep the map view to help navigate to their preferred ship, health or ammo or they can use the MENU key to select an ocean view background. Users can also use the phone’s arrow keys to highlight objects to get navigation instructions on how to reach them.
Once the player's health reaches zero, they have the option to continue playing or returning to the main menu. Selecting "CONTINUE" will enter them back into the same ocean with the same ammo with the same enemy ships. Players' health however will be at a minimum level, so they need to be sure to move and collect more health to increase the ability to survive. Continuing the game also rewards players with new rankings and high scores. The highest ranking is Admiral. Throughout the game the layer’s score is posted to Torpedo Bay’s leader board, providing a view of high scores or ranking against other players. Pages (2): « First « 1 [2] |

Torpedo Bay offers a unique 360-degree view of the ocean world around the player. The phone’s screen is a window into the virtual world. Players are able to scan the horizon using the phone’s "<" and ">" keys to place their enemy’s ship in view. Users select the "OK" button to activate and set the firing parameters for their torpedo and fire away. Depending on the size of ship and the player's aim, several hits may be necessary to sink the enemy. Points are awarded for each hit and sunk. Players lose health for every hit.
