Froad Announced for iOS and Android Devices
Latest YoYo Games Title Hopping Onto Stores This Month
London, UK – XX February 2012 - YoYo Games, the leading portal for user-generated game content, is pleased to announce that Froad, the latest game to be built using YoYo Games’ GameMaker platform, will launch for iOS and Android devices on Tuesday 7^th February 2012.
In Froad, players take control of an amphibian character called Froad, who is named this way because nobody can tell if he is a frog or a toad. Froad is a survival game where players must catch as many bugs as possible, as requested by Froad himself, to see how many days they can help him survive. If players catch the wrong bug or a bad bug, such as a Bee or a Wasp, Froad’s health will deteriorate until his hunger bar is empty, at which point the game will end.
Froad contains two insect-filled worlds for players to take on, the Forest and the Pond, containing a variety of different bugs dependent on the location. Each world will cycle between day and night which will bring different varieties of creepy-crawlies for Froad to munch through, but it will also bring new dangers for Froad to avoid.
Froad will feature:

• 
  Simple single-tap gameplay
  
• 
  Two bug filled worlds to munch through; Forest and Pond
  
• 
  Day and Night cycle brings new bugs and new dangers
  
• 
  Universal App – Optimised for iPad, iPhone and Android
  
• 
  iOS Game Centre support with over 60 achievements to unlock and 6 Leaderboards to climb
