PopCap launches 4th and Battery
PopCap Games has started a new game label to act as testing ground for smaller titles, while Susan Kare has announced that she is now selling several computer icon inspired art prints online
PopCap Games has announced the creation of a new small games label, 4th & Battery. The new label will provide PopCap designers with the freedom to create smaller, simpler, and sometimes edgier games without typical constraints. 4th & Batter is expected to produce several games per year across mobile and desktop environments, with the first title, Unpleasant Horse, set to launch in the iOS App Store later this month. In the upcoming free title, players will take on the role of a hoer that must advance through the game by destroying small birds and landing on other horses from above.
