“Everyone in the development team is really thrilled to see how iPhone gamers welcome Monster Trucks Nitro.  There is some additional excitement, as many enthusiastic mobile gamers keep on adding extra expectations to new RedLynx mobile games, as we have succeeded so well with our earlier games”, says Atte Ilvessuo, Executive Producer and Lead Designer for Monster Trucks Nitro.

Tero Virtala, CEO of RedLynx continues: “We spent some time in considering what should our first game on iPhone.  After playing a lot of iPhone games, creating exciting concepts and demos, trialling and erroring with innovative new features that iPhone enables, we were truly taken by the device – it is truly a gaming platform.  Our background has often been in making great games that at the same time push the boundaries of new mobile platforms, and make innovations that these new platforms enable. ” 

“As iPhone already was a proven, well-working gaming device, with so many cool game innovations, we decided to focus on a genre that we know in and out, racing.  Our bubble-leveller control mechanism fits this game perfectly, and gives the player a true feeling of controlling the monster truck you are racing with.  We thought that most of all, gamers of a good gaming device, need excellent and fun games tailored to fit the device and polished into perfection.  With Monster Trucks Nitro this was our goal and after countless days and evenings at the office developing and polishing the game, I think we have a game that stands out as unique”, concludes Atte Ilvessuo.
