Leveraging his two-part highwire walk over downtown Chicago tightrope to be broadcast live today (Sunday, Nov 3), artist Nik Wallenda has released SkyBalance for iOS, Android and Amazon.
The app is a a collaboration between mobile gaming companies Tapinator and HyperPower Game Group, offering an “endless-level” challenge asks players to battle birds, wind gusts, helicopters, and finger-tapping fatigue to keep Nik’s digital avatar “in-the-zone” and balancing as long as possible.
Part of an emerging category of games made popular by Flappy Bird, SkyBalance is a “quick fix” game that requires minimal commitment from players. Discovery will be highlighting the game through SkyscraperLive.com, the official website for Sunday’s event and across its social media channels.
