We’ve had several requests from users of our popular game Popcorn Rush asking if we could turn it into something more “Ninja” like. Well…we had some time to spare..and considering Ninja’s are all the rage now days so why not?
Ninja Popcorn is available now for the Playbook and will be available soon for the Nook and Kindle.

MunsieGames, an independent game developer focusing on casual games, announces the release of PopcornRush Full for the BlackBerry© Playbook™. PopcornRush Full builds upon the free version of PopcornRush and adds several features missing from the free version including multiple game modes and online scores.
Dave Munsie (developer of PopcornRush), “PopcornRush was my first time developing on a mobile device. I knew the swipe and slice games were popular on other mobile devices but I didn’t want to do a clone of ”you know what” so I eventually came up with the popcorn theme.”
“In order for this type of game to be fun it has to perform well. Using AS3/Adobe Air technologies allowed for rapid development but I wasn’t sure about performance. Working with an actual device however, allowed me to a/b several methods to dial in the best coding techniques to maximize performance. In the end the game runs at a very smooth frame rate between 40-60fps even with 100’s of objects on screen. To deal with fluctuating frame rates the game uses time based movement which keeps all the game objects moving steadily. ”
“When the (original) game was released I wasn’t sure how players would react. But thanks to a few popular blog sites that mentioned the game and some good player reviews, the game has been very well received.”
PopcornRush Full has local and online scores plus 4 games modes including “Classic”, “Arcade”, “Rush” and “Tap”. More game modes are planned with future updates. The game is for sale in the Playbook Appworld for .99.

MunsieGames has developed some of the most popular skill based games you can find on the internet. Games that are quick to play, generate a high number of repeat plays, and are always very easy to understand and more importantly, 100% mouse controlled.
If you are looking to license games for your website, we want to hear from you asap. Because of our large library of original games and the fact that we are a small independent games studio, we can provide you with very competitive rates, especially on bundle deals when you license more than a single game.
Standard Site Lock Licensing:
We brand our games with your site logos, score api, links, etc. The game looks like it was sponsored by your site. More importantly we can also disable ads, out going links, so your users stay on your site.
FaceBook Licensing:
You can also license our games for use on FaceBook. Please email us for more information.
Game Customization’s:
If you need us to tweak our games to be easier, harder, longer, shorter, this is not a problem. We want to make sure our game fits your website demographic perfectly.
Re Branding Our Games: Our games, your media!
Would you like to turn one of our games into something totally different that matches the theme or interests of your website? We can do that! We can create the new artwork for you (we have access to some of the best artists in the business) or you can create the art and we can add it to our game. We can offer two different license types for re branded games. A site lock license so the game only works for your website, or a mass distribution license where you can distribute the game anyway you like. Please inquire for more info.
We hope you consider our games for use on your website. If you have any questions, please take the time to email us at:
