Battle of Puppets Adds Unlockable Content

Small Wonders has just added more unlockable content to Battle of Puppets 1.2.2, their fascinatingly odd and original, linear strategy game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Adding to the recently included OpenFeint leaderboard and achievement integration, AI improvements and harder difficulty levels, Small Wonders has been working to include all of the most requested features to Battle of Puppets. Also, in celebration of the update Battle of Puppets is now only $0.99 permanently!

Touting a vibrant artistic style, Battle of Puppets combines beautiful graphics, the hallowed art of puppetry, and ruthless combat! Its players are cast as silent puppeteers, who must strategically control their hordes of marionette minions as they battle across a series of 22 American theatres on their quest for Broadway acclaim. All 22 theatres have custom operatic backdrops of famous landmarks, and now each one has a global leaderboard through OpenFeint.

To destroy the opposing forces and win the affection of the crowd, players must travel across the country, tactfully building units, upgrading their castle and outposts, and even casting spells or "professions" by using written gestures. As the campaigns progress, players can unlock all 6 professions, learning to repair their troops, mind control the enemy, boo the opposition, and more!


Players choose one of 5 operas that vary significantly in terms of relative strengths and weaknesses, unit types, building speeds, and most interestingly, how they are affected by changing weather conditions. Now players can unlock custom artwork when they beat the game with each opera!

Juan Diego Gallego, CEO of Small Wonders, says, "our team has been working hard to include all the features that players have requested, and we're dedicated to making BOP a more fun and beautiful game for them!" Small Wonders' commitment to iteration has been evident so far. An all new tutorial system was implemented just one week after launch, and this update comes only weeks after the addition of AI improvements, achievement integration, and new leaderboards!

New Price:
Battle of Puppets is now available for $.99 permanently! "We want everyone to enjoy BOP, and particularly given all the new features we've added since its launch, we'd love to inspire many new puppeteers," says Juan Diego. With added leaderboards, new unlockable content, and tons of achievements, the game-play is just as intuitive to pick up, but the strategy is more complex, scores are fun to share, and it's all still a pleasure to behold!
