TORONTO – Teletoon is showing it has game by promoting one of its shows with the launch of a vampire app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Humans vs Vampires is a new My Babysitter’s a Vampire app which follows the release of Find the Earl for iPad, a Skatoony app that launched earlier this summer.
“The Teletoon experience extends beyond the television set. With viewers increasingly getting their entertainment via iPhone, iPad and iPod devices, the release of these new apps will bring our audience yet another unreal experience to their daily dose of amusement,” said Gavin Friesen, Director, Interactive, Teletoon Canada Inc.
Developed for Teletoon by Secret Location with support from the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, the game is free to download in the App Store under the title Humans vs Vampires. Players battle their way through five levels and five different opponents, with rivals getting increasingly more difficult to beat as the game progresses. A one-time 99 cent in-app upgrade allows players to unlock all five good guys and five undead characters.
The television series My Babysitter’s a Vampire, developed and produced by Fresh TV, premieres its second season on Thursday, September 6 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Teletoon.
Skatoony, hosted by Chudd Chudders and his sidekick announcer The Earl, features contestants competing in four side-splitting trivia-based rounds to win bragging rights and a terrific prize. Skatoony airs Sundays on Teletoon at 5:30 p.m. ET/PT.
