The Quirky World of Indie Musician and Pop Artist Daniel Johnston Comes to Life on the iPhone
AUSTIN, Texas-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Hi, How Are You, the first ever toon-shaded 3D puzzle platformer for the iPhone and iPod Touch, is now available at the App Store. The game features a psychedelic universe filled with dynamic physics-driven gameplay, surreal enemies and challenging puzzles featuring Daniel Johnston’s fascinating music and art.
Hi, How Are You begins with Satan turning the innocent Jeremiah into a frog and stealing the object of his affection. To win back his true love’s freedom, Jeremiah must progress through 25+ devilish levels to reverse the curse that Satan has inflicted upon him.
While racing through psychedelic mazes, Jeremiah evolves into four different characters, each with a unique play style. Players can choose to control the game by using either intuitive tilt controls or a virtual on-screen joystick. They can also collect more than 20 achievements, unlocking original artwork by Daniel Johnston himself. Achievements can also be shared automatically with friends on Facebook – taking bragging rights to a whole new social level.
Daniel Johnston’s music has been critically acclaimed for his original and evocative style. He has acquired legions of fans including legends such as David Bowie, Tom Waits, Beck and the late Kurt Cobain, who wore his Hi, How Are You frog t-shirt in concerts.
Johnston’s art has been featured in prestigious art galleries around the globe, including the Whitney Museum of Art, in its Biennial exhibition, when Johnston was referred to as “one of the most creative contemporary artists in the world.”
Hi, How Are You was created in collaboration by developers Dr. Fun Fun and Smashing Studios. The game is available at an introductory price of $0.99 for a limited time only through Apple’s App Store.
