MetaTools Inc.,has announced the availability of its first iPhone game, MetaSquares, a deceptively simple to play, but hard to be expert strategy game, which is now available in Apple iTunes App Store.

Noted puzzle and computer game designer Scott Kim, whose puzzles were featured in “Scientific American” magazine, created the initial concept for MetaSquares during the mid 1990s, which generated a huge following on the Mac and Windows America Online platform prior to the emergence of the internet.

MetaSquares players enter an eight by eight board with one goal in mind - create more squares than their opponents. Using game play features such as tapping, double tapping and swiping that are designed specifically for the iPhone, players can go head-to-head with their iPhone toting friends or challenge the progressively more difficult artificial intelligence opponent. MetaSquares offers consumers of all ages and skill levels a quick (games are usually two to three minutes long), fun and challenging experience.

MetaSquares is scheduled to be released in the near future in multiple languages including French, German, Japanese and Spanish. MetaTools is also developing a multiplayer option with access via mobile internet connections.

Consumers without iPhones can preview MetaSquares online for free at www.metatools.com/iphonemsq/ on Apple computers or via Firefox Web Browser if accessing from a Windows PC.

MetaSquares is available for download now for $2.99 on carriers via iPhone or by visiting the MetaTools website, www.metatools.com, and clicking on the iTunes App Store widget.
