PopCap Reveal New Small Games Label 4th & Battery And Their First Game Unpleasent Horse

PopCap have revealed a new games label aimed at smaller, simpler, and maybe edgier games. 4th & Battery will aim their games at a more mature audience, the first of which is Unpleasant Horse. 4th & Battery aim to make several games a year without the concern of schedules, profitability, or even a target audience.

Unpleasant Horse has you playing as a Unpleasant Horse that has wings. you need to destroy small birds and land on pleasant horses from above. Unpleasant Horse will be free when it comes to iPhone and iPod Touch this month.




Press Release

SEATTLE and DUBLIN, April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual games, today announced the formation of 4th & Battery™ (www.4thandbattery.com), a new experimental label where PopCap's designers and developers have free reign to create smaller, simpler, and sometimes edgier games without the typical constraints of an established global games publisher. Named after the Seattle, Washington intersection where PopCap's Seattle headquarters are located, 4th & Battery today introduced its first game, Unpleasant Horse™.

"4th & Battery is a pressure valve intended to keep our heads from exploding," explained Ed Allard, Executive Vice President of Studios at PopCap. "The PopCap brand has become closely associated with ultra-high quality, polish and attention to detail — which is a great thing. But our standard game development process is therefore long and involved, and doesn't really accommodate all of the creativity pumping through our collective veins. 4th & Battery gives us a way to quickly try really strange or marginal ideas, and to give our designers a safe area to hone their chops."

4th & Battery is expected to produce several games per year, primarily small-scale, arcade-style games for platforms ranging from PC to Facebook® and iPhone. Unlike PopCap's traditional franchises, some of the content emanating from 4th & Battery, including its initial launch title Unpleasant Horse, will be aimed at mature audiences.

"4th & Battery is a purely experimental, creative label with none of the typical concerns like schedules, profitability, or even target audience. It's kind of the video game equivalent of B-sides or short films," explained Jason Kapalka, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at PopCap. "Expect weirdness."

The first game from 4th & Battery, Unpleasant Horse, was announced today. Players take on the role of – wait for it! – a strikingly unpleasant horse that sports wings and advances through the game by destroying small birds and landing on more pleasant horses from above. Landing atop other horses enables the player to force them earthward into a perpetual meat grinder for extra points and special bonuses. Available later this month for the iPhone and iPod touch through the Apple App Store, Unpleasant Horse will be available for free.

About 4th & Battery
4th and Battery is located in a secret druidic chamber below one of Seattle's largest public parks. Small groups of PopCap® game developers gather there when the stars are right to let their imaginations run wild. The results can be alarming.
