    Chillingo Brings DrawRace 2, Swing the Bat and Fruit Roll to the App Store

    Posted by Rob LeFebvre on September 5th, 2011

    This past week saw the release of three new Chillingo published titles, featuring a sequel to the popular line drawing/racing app Draw Race, a casual physics game with Swing the Bat, and an infinite runner, Fruit Roll. As always, gamers can be fairly sure that these apps have been well-produced and contain strong elements of gameplay along with high quality graphics and control systems.

    DrawRace 2
    RedLynx, the creator of DrawRace, brings sequel DrawRace 2 to the App Store. Draw lines to control the speed and angle of the driving path, and let the race begin! Draw Race 2 comes with 32 unique tracks, tons of cars and plenty of features to unlock. DrawRace 2 also includes a Friend Challenge mode to allow users to race against their friends online, a step up from the first installment, which only had Hot Seat multiplayer. Yippee!



    Swing the Bat
    Swing is a bat with a little problem: his wings are too small to let him fly. That problem is solved with a little help from gamers, who can swing him through tons of levels, avoid obstacles and unlock content as he goes in this humorous, casual physics game from developer Deadbug. Swing the Bat promises to keep the gaming fun and the gamer engaged.



    Fruit Roll
    Fruit Roll has gamers rolling their way through different environments, collecting stars and squashing enemies. The game boasts "the pick-up-and play accessibility of a casual game with all the competitive high-scoring of a hardcore one." From developer MoboTap, Fruit Roll brings another colorful family-friendly infinite runner to the App Store. Want to read even more about it? Check out our very own review of Fruit Roll HD here.



    As usual, be sure to watch the videos above and check out the screenshots below. Heck, click through and buy yourself a copy of one, two, or all three apps as your love for all things gaming or Chillingo guides your purchase hand.
