Press Release

London, UK. London-based development studio Mediatonic has announced that Who’s That Flying!?, its latest title for PlayStation Portable Minis, will be available to purchase and download from the PSN store from Tuesday 12th October 2010, priced £3.99, €4.99 and $5.99 respectively.

In Who’s That Flying!?, players take control of the mysterious and powerful creature known only as the "Guardian of Earth". His steely eye and HYPER-POWERED LASER ARM have kept the citizens of Earth safe for generations (as well as proving a hit with the ladies). With all his awesome TALENT and FLAIR, surely it would be IMPOSSIBLE for a sudden and devastating invasion of colossal Doom Beasts to descend on the Earth’s cities and cause havoc without his knowledge? No, it’s not, and the fact that he was posing for photos at the time has nothing to do with it.

To save the Guardian Of Earth’s reputation, as well as the Earth itself, players must not only defend the cities from ravenous hordes of Doom Beasts, but must also defend the Guardian of Earth against accusations of gross incompetence from the Galactic Council of Justice - and this is all BEFORE players can even start to get to the bottom of just who OR what is really behind the invasion.

Who’s That Flying!? Will be available to purchase and download from the PSN store from Tuesday 12th October 2010, priced £3.99, €4.99 and $5.99 according to region.
