LED Football Press Release

La Jolla, Calif. (Sept. 12, 2008) – touchGrove, LLC is stoked to announce the release of its first title for the iPhone, LED Football! Since its release on Monday, September 8, LED Football has already zoomed to within the #15 spot on the Top Paid downloads list on the iTunes App Store. The game is priced at only 99 cents.

LED Football is loosely based on recollections of various handheld electronics sports games from the ’70s. The game features animated “LED” dots simulating offense and defense in a game of football, and which are controlled by interface buttons on the game screen.

Since touchGrove’s announcement on August 28th of its beta test and pending release in the App Store, LED Football has been picked up by dozens of blogs around the internet. Positive response from readers has been overwhelming.

“We can’t see NOT having this little gem on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s a win-win! Simple, nostalgic gameplay mixed with the finest of retro sights and sounds. I can’t wait to see what else these folks have up their sleeve.”
- Rob LeFebvre, Games Are Evil

“…this app makes me want to find the developer and give him a hug. It’s perfect. The sound, the play, the memories … all there. It’s the kind of thing that when you see it for the first time in 20 years, you are instantly transported to a simpler time…”
- Scott Kleinberg, IFTFIB, Chicago Tribune

“… the attention to detail is stunning… and it is so easy to forget I’m playing it on a phone. Quality workmakship from start to finish and sure to hit any vintage gamer old enough to remember these right between their misty eyes.
- Eric March, TouchPodium

touchGrove worked with NeonSurge (of SolarQuest fame) to bring their concept and UI to life for the iPhone. NeonSurge also created and engineered the audio for the game.
