Snibbe Studio Releases Its First Android App Through Amazon Appstore
Bestselling Gravilux App Now Available for Android on Kindle Fire
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Scott Snibbe Studio, developer of best selling entertainment apps for the iPad including Björk's Biophilia, has released its first Android App – Gravilux – exclusively through the Amazon Appstore for Android and Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
Snibbe's app, Gravilux, was a runaway hit last year when released on iPad. Now available for Android devices, Gravilux lets people touch a universe of simulated stars beneath their fingertips, exerting gravitational push and pull to twist stars into an infinite variety of colorful new galactic forms.
Scott Snibbe, President of the studio, said: "Interactivity has the same capacity as cinema to engage people in emotionally meaningful experiences that go beyond the goal-oriented worlds of games. Gravilux is not a game, a utility, or an educational tool, but instead a purely interactive space for wonder, play, and exploration. Bringing Gravilux to Android opens these experiences to a huge new audience."
Asked about his choice to launch exclusively with Amazon, Snibbe answered: "Books are one of the last media where people focus in rapt concentration. Amazon's Kindle Fire promotes this attention with other forms of media like apps and games, and it’s the type of attention we hope to sustain with our uniquely creative, mind-expanding entertainment apps. Gravilux gives users a new form of sophisticated, rich interactive content that go beyond the simplicity of games."
Gravilux for Android is available exclusively in the United States through the Amazon Appstore for Android for $1.99. Outside the U.S., and after its exclusive run with Amazon, the app can be found in the Android Marketplace.
