Majaka completes development of Square Planet

Paris, October 5, 2012– Majaka announced today that the French studio had completed development of its second iOS title, Square Planet. The colorful platformer is currently awaiting approval from the App Store review team and is set for an October 19 release date. Following the runaway success of Ski Champion, now boasting over 400,000 installs, Majaka is upping the ante with a whole new adventure game.

At the heart of Square Planet is an exciting side-scrolling platforming game. The innovative title challenges players to control a cute (yet fearless) little Ball through stunning 3D environments. Dumped into an alien world, the Ball will have to infiltrate the Square Planet and rescue his (or is it her??) friends from the evil Squares. From bats to trees to dog poo, everything is square and edgy on the Square Planet!
