							Revolutionary New GPS-based Game For iPhone/Android Launched On
Kickstarter
 Warfinger GPS, a groundbreaking new GPS-based game for iPhone/Android is now up on
 Kickstarter and is calling you to get involved! This exciting new game blurs the line between real
 life and the video game world, ushering in a whole new era in location-based social gaming.

Online PR News – 22-July-2012 Greater Kudu, LLC, a new mobile software venture from long-time veteran
                             –
games industry developer Andrew Silber has this week launched a 30-day Kickstarter campaign to
develop a new, groundbreaking type of mobile gaming experience and is looking for forward-thinking
participants to help bring this exciting experience to life.

In Warfinger GPS, players set up a "battlefield" on the real-time maps in their mobile device. It can be a
few square blocks, a city, or even a whole state. They then invite friends to join in a high-tech game of
strategic "tag" which unfolds over the course of going about daily life. Players can plant virtual mines, launch
missiles, deploy surveillance drones, collect resources, level up skills, send out reconnaissance
detachments, earn badges and in-game bling, claim territory, and flaunt their triumphs on Facebook and
Twitter. Wherever they go, as long as they're in that "battlefield," they're in the game.

                         I'm amazed no-one has done a game like this yet.
"I'm amazed no-one has done a game like this yet," says Silber. "It's a perfect fit for today's mobile, social
media-fueled lifestyle." He goes on to explain, "It's great for casual gamers who want to play a game of
'gotcha' with nice big explosions instead of just Facebook pokes, but it's also got real depth for the more
hard-core strategy players.”

Warfinger GPS is now live on Kickstarter, the "crowdsourcing" platform that has received so much attention
over the last several years. "The great thing about Kickstarter," Silber continued, "is that it's so low-risk.
Anyone who thinks the game is a good idea can pledge, but if ultimately it doesn't meet its funding goal, no-
one is out any money. It's a totally new way of doing business."

People who contribute are also entitled to exclusive rewards which will never again be available once the
game is launched. In the case of Warfinger GPS, rewards start from in-game credits, exclusive weapons
and in-game badges to shirts and signed artwork, to opportunities to contribute to the game design, and
even owning in-game real world "real estate" and becoming a recurring character in the game.

"There's no question that today’s technology and social dynamics are screaming out for a game like
Warfinger," Silber concludes. "Some games have tried to incorporate elements of location-based play, but
have just not gotten it right. Warfinger GPS changes all that."
