Club Penguin Spreads to iOS devices with first game

It’s been a while since we checked in with Club Penguin, Disney’s $350 million acquisition aimed at youth around the world. While staying mostly out of the headlines, ClubPenguin.com has continued chugging along with a new group of kids signing on every school year.

A recent change to the game involved the addition of Puffles, which are little creatures that the penguin players treat as pets. A popular game involving the Puffles has been Puffle Launch. Previously it was only available in-game, but now a version of it has been ported to the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

The general game play reminds me of any number of addictive flash based games and that’s a good thing. This should keep kids and adults entertained as they try and figure out the challenges to pass each level. Here’s a little preview video:

Take on 24 high speed levels
Get back all the Puffle O’s, dodge obstacles, and seize the fiery prize at the end of every level.
