Geek smashing goes free and Berzerk Ball adds user generated quotables
Tokyo, Japan -- April 7, 2011 -- NTT Resonant, Japanese publisher of iOS games, and Berzerk Studio, a leading flash game developer, today announced the free version of Berzerk Ball, the iOS port of the popular Flash game Homerun in Berzerk Land. In the game, players smash Comeau, the snarky “geek” across Berzerk Land, while aiming for boosts that will send him flying further into oblivion. In the Flash version, players have swatted the hapless geek over 150 million times and show no signs of relenting.
Along with a free version, the first major update to Berzerk Ball brings all new, user-submitted quotes for the geek. Adding to his musings that range from “hacking your game for lolz,” to commentary on how much “loading sucks,” the new quotes showcase the best in player-generated wit.
“The humor of Berzerk Ball is one of it’s best features, and we absolutely love all the hilarious quotes that our fans have submitted in support of our game,” says Simon Lachance, Founder of Berzerk Studios.

Players can tap the screen to control Comeau's flight toward items such as nuclear bombs, giant robots, and clouds of bees that all offer a huge variety of explosive boosts. As Comeau goes further, more XP is earned, which can be used to unlock new abilities and items for extra smashing pleasure.
