Louise Gow and her husband are developers of iPad Apps and they were in South Africa
last Christmas on safari. They were very moved by the white rhino and all the
problems it faces with poachers. In fact, they were so moved that they were inspired to make
an App to create awareness and raise funds. Currently, the App is only available on iPad and is called
"Rescue Rangers". They are donating all proceeds to http://www.savetherhino.org - who are
supporting them with this project. The App is going to be FREE in the Apple App
store this weekend. Ads will be running and proceeds from the ads will also be
going to SaveTheRhino.
The link to the app is http://bit.ly/J9WuM7. Thanks for taking the
time to read this and for helping us to to help those
wonderful creatures.
Here is more information on the App:
Description
Grab your binoculars and your
backpack, a great adventure waits! FabFunApps is gearing up to release
its spectacular new safari app for your iPad which will take you to the
heart of Africa on a quest to save the nearly extinct White Rhino!
“Rescue Rangers” is a unique and creative game with a dual purpose. Not
only will you get the chance to save a wide variety of colorful and
amusing African creatures from dangerous and cunning poachers; you are
also, playing an important part in the awareness and plight of the
majestic White Rhino! The worthy organization,
http://www.savetherhino.org is partnering with FabFunApps for the launch
of “Rescue Rangers”.
Rescue Rangers is a playful app, brimming
with colorful creatures and vibrant sound effects. The grasslands of
Africa come to life in this amusing app which features many indigenous
creatures that we all know and love. At the heart of the game is the
lumbering White Rhino which needs to be saved from the sly and skillful
poachers. Along the way, you will encounter many other wild and
dangerous creatures, such as the beautiful and speedy cheetah, the
curious and cheerful monkey, the massive water buffalo, the graceful and
wondrous giraffe, the gentle giant elephant, and the king of the jungle
himself; the regal lion!
As the comical and notorious poachers
silently stalk their prey, it is your job to save the animals from a
cruel fate! Test your skills on one of three challenging modes; easy,
normal, or expert. Save the animals on your own or with a friend in the
single or multi-player modes. Either way, this safari adventure will
provide hours of entertainment!
The game developers did a
wonderful job in their interpretation and design of the poachers, the
creatures, and the habitat which they inhabit. The cartoon version of
the huts and dwellings is accurate and the dusty, golden hues of the
African planes are captured with animated brilliance! Each wild creature
has been lovingly sculpted and painted with precision and their voices
ring out with whimsical sound effects to bring this game to life. The
many unique animations and upbeat soundtrack really immerse you into
this safari adventure!
This fun and exciting game was created
from pure inspiration by the app designers who took a trip to Africa and
witnessed the majestic wonders of the planes and the White Rhinos,
themselves! They were able to meet with a wonderful team of rangers who
are committed to saving the Rhinos. This game is dedicated to them and
their plight to save the wondrous creatures!
