Leonardo's Cat, Now on iOS, Features Michael Frith, Patrick Stewart

You know, a game is considered cheating for sales when it utilizes Sir Patrick Stewart's voice. And you know what? That is quite fine in this case. I would totally purchase a game just to hear Sir Patrick Stewart. So what about a game casting him as Leonardo da Vinci?

There would be a damn good chance you'd still buy it if you're a fan of Star Trek, X-Men, or American Dad. StoryToys, the leading publisher of kids' games, books, and educational software for tablets and phones, has released Leonardo's Cat, strictly for iOS.

The Savage Studio-developed puzzle-adventure centers on the inventor's many influential works, featuring writing from Bob Tedeschi (The New York Times), and design by Michael Frith (The Muppets, Fraggle Rock).

According to Barry O'Neill, CEO of StoryToys:

"Watching Leonardo come to life through the imaginations of Michael Frith and the many incredibly talented writers, actors, and designers on this project has been such a wonderful gift. We look forward to seeing how children and adults alike engage with the exciting world of da Vinci and the Renaissance through this clever puzzler."

The plot? Well players need to take back the Automaton, or the world's first robot, which has been stolen from da Vinci's rival, Michaelangelo. You must step into the paws of da Vinci's cat, Scungilli, who must recover the shattered pieces of the Automaton, utilizing da Vinci's inventions to overcome obstacles and traps.

Here are the following features:

• 60 unique levels of exploding, crashing, and splashing puzzles across six environments
• Use fantastic inventions, like cannons, catapults and ornithopters to overcome incredible challenges
• Beautifully animated cutscenes featuring Patrick Stewart as the voice of Leonardo da Vinci
• Lush visuals and a captivating soundtrack inspired by the Renaissance world
• Fascinating and humorous educational content based on the science, art, and wonders of the Renaissance

Leonardo Cat's is now available on the App Store for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch for only $2.99 / 2.99 / £1.99. If you're a fan of Patrick Stewart, I'm sure you're already rushing to the app store now.
