Red Rover Games, a division of award-winning film effects studio 11:11 MediaWorks, announced the immediate availability of Safari Sketch a new match-three puzzler that transports the player to exotic locales to view endangered species from around the world.
Red Rover Games also announced a donation of $2 for each sold copy of Safari Sketch to the nonprofit Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Safari Sketch will cost US$19.95, and a trial is available for download at www.redrovergames.com.
"Red Rover Games wants to make a contribution to the conservation of the beautiful creatures from around the world that inspired the creation of Safari Sketch," Roger Nall, president/founder of Red Rover Games and 11:11 MediaWorks. "By partnering with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, we will be able to support the conservation of wildlife the world over."
"The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is grateful for the support of Red Rover Games," said AZA President and CEO Jim Maddy. "Safari Sketch will not only educate people about endangered species conservation, it will also generate real support for the important wildlife conservation work of accredited zoos and aquariums."
The charitable donations are automated from the customer standpoint; by paying the standard price of $19.95 or less, depending on other combined promotions, $2 of that purchase price is directed to the nonprofit Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Cross-sell, coupon, and special promotions will also apply.
In Safari Sketch, adventurers can gather beautifully hand-rendered likenesses of more than 50 exotic and endangered species of plants, animals and insects, including the Giant Panda, the Sumatran Rhinoceros, and the world's rarest insect, the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect. Players enter jungles, reefs, snowy mountains, archipelagoes, and other locales as they are challenged to find matches and clear the puzzle board before the "daylight" fades. The game keeps a journal of the illustrations the player has collected along with an entry containing interesting facts about each creature presented in Safari Sketch.
