HiQ develops AirFight - a  new game application for iPhone

At the request of the Swedish software company Ocko AB, HiQ has developed a
special application called AirFight, an advanced flight simulation game for
iPhone. The game was launched before Christmas and the market's initial reaction
has been positive.

”AirFight is an advanced 3D flight simulation game for iPhone which offers an
exceptional gaming experience. It's easy to learn but is a considerable
challenge to master. It's a social game where players can play simultaneously on
their iPhone or iPod touch devices. Developing AirFight was an exciting project
from start to finish and was made possible through close collaboration with HiQ.
HiQ's expertise in mobile applications and advanced software development was
critical for the success of this project,” says Fredrik Gustavsson, founder of
Ocko AB, the company behind Air Fight.

In AirFight the integrated accelerometer and multi-touch feature are used to
control the plane. With a special setting on the phone you can select an
energy-saving mode enabling you to play much longer than usual without having to
recharge. The user can also plug the phone into a home entertainment system to
experience the fantastic 3D sound effects.

”AirFight can be played by one or two players. Single players engage with the
phone's own fighters. Two players can fight against one another in the
multiplayer mode. This is one of the few multiplayer games developed so far for
iPhone and we are very satisfied with the result,” says Johan Sanneblad who has
a PhD in Mobile IT and was responsible for the project at HiQ.

”HiQ has unique expertise in developing mobile applications and we see great
potential in developing this type of application. I have worked with mobile
application development for more than ten years now and I've never come across a
mobile platform where it is possible to move so quickly from concept to finished
product as iPhone, which means it's of great interest to Swedish companies
wanting to launch new mobile applications,” continues Johan Sanneblad.

The game concept comes from the Swedish company Ocko AB and its founder Fredrik
Gustavsson. Ocko AB is based in Ljungskile on the west coast of Sweden and
develops software for iPhone. For more information, please visit www.ocko.se.
