Amateur Surgeon Launches on iPhone

17th December 2008

Fact

'Amateur Surgeon', the hugely popular Flash game designed and built by Mediatonic has been released on the iPhone. The first adult rated game to appear on the iPhone, the game is a replica of our web version which has received over 20 million players to date.

Detail

When pizza boy Alan Probe smashes into the mysterious tramp Dr. Bleed with his van, he’s forced to turn surgeon and operate with nothing more than a pizza-cutter and a steady hand. Together, Probe and Bleed team up to operate on anyone criminal or crazy enough to be stapled, burned, corkscrewed or chainsawed back to health across 30 unique surgeries.

Amateur Surgeon features 10 different tools used to operate on patients, including the pizza-cutter (for making incisions), stapler (for closing up wounds), battery (for restarting stubborn patients who insist on dying during surgery) and everyone’s favourite – the chainsaw (for general slicing’n’dicing and the cool “rrrm-rrrm!” noise).

With roots in Flash gaming Mediatonic have plans to develop more of their own IP and expand into other platforms in 2009.

Paul Croft, Director of Games said: “With the app store on the iPhone rapidly becoming swamped with content many new applications are lost in the tide. As part of our expansion into new media we'll be combining iPhone games with online versions to raise their profile across the internet”.
