Cowabunga! Nickelodeon rolls out TMNT app

Cowabunga! Make way on your iPhones and iPads for Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo as they run, jump and kick the daylights out of the evil Kraang's forces.

 

Nickelodeon on Friday launched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run," its first worldwide mobile app, in more than 150 countries and eight languages.

 

"In 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run,' players assume the role of their favorite Turtle as they outrun the Kraang’s tractor beam, battling enemies with Ninjutsu combat along the way. As enemies are defeated, players earn coins that can be redeemed for awesome power ups, weapons and gear," Nickelodeon said.

 

Players can fill up their energy meter by collecting energy orbs. Once the energy meeter is full, they enter “Turtle Time” where the game play is slowed down.

 

During this time, players must tap in rapid succession, to strike multiple enemies and amass coins.

 

The game, available for $1.99, features full 3D characters and environments based on the CG-animated series (www.tmntrooftoprun.com).

 

Meanwhile, players can visit the Turtle Lair to unlock characters, purchase power-ups and upgrade their Turtle’s weapons and gear. They can buy enhancements with game coins or an iTunes account.

 

Other features of the game include:
