King.com Releases New Facebook Game, Pet Rescue Saga

-- King.com's new animal-themed game turns players into rescuers as they play to free pets from The Snatchers

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- King.com, the leading casual social games company, today announces the launch of its latest game on Facebook.com, Pet Rescue Saga. The puzzle game features animated pets, 3D graphical elements, multiple puzzle challenges and game modes to create an engaging casual gameplay experience.

"Pet Rescue Saga is an extremely fun game with a great deal of depth in terms of production value and puzzle challenges. It is likely our trickiest game yet – you really need to plan ahead to move through each level," said Riccardo Zacconi, CEO and co-founder of King.com. "It's also one of our most creative Sagas to date with animated pets, squirrels with skateboards and a playing environment with a 3D feel."

The game builds on King.com's popular puzzle game format, Pet Rescue, and will initially offer over 50 levels in its Saga format on Facebook. Pet Rescue Saga features more than 10 cute, animated pets in dire need of help from all kinds of mayhem across a fantastic Saga land that includes both fairytale and urban landscapes. Boosters allow gamers to clear columns or individual blocks in various ways to make their way through each episode, which includes 5-10 different types of puzzle levels. Players must remove the required number of blocks or save enough pets to move on to the next level.

Pet Rescue Saga is free to play and available now on Facebook. To play, please visit http://Apps.facebook.com/petrescuesaga.
