ORRVILLE, Ohio/PRNewswire/ -- Evildoers - and especially the diabolical Dr. Fizz - need to watch out for the world's newest crime-fighters ... and the Power of Milk! Herd of Heroes, the new mobile game app from Orrville, Ohio-based SMITH'S, usually costs 99 cents, but free downloads are being offered at HerdofHeroes.com during "Hero Day" on June 6. Herd of Heroes features five bovine superheroes, Hooved Justice, Dozer, Lady Lasso, Bullseye, and Chocolate Crusader, as they do battle with Dr. Fizz, who has plans to replace the planet's milk supply with his evil cola concoction.
The game was developed by brothers Chris (26) and Tyler (24) Parkinson of Newark, Ohio, who approached the company several months ago with an idea and a demo. The brothers, who were raised on a Utica, Ohio dairy farm, combined their artistic and coding skills to bring their childhood imaginations to life. The game app can be played on both iOS and Android devices.
"On June 6 th, we want to offer everyone a chance to be a superhero and experience the power of milk," explained SMITH'S Marketing Services Manager Jerry Cosentino. "It will make for a summertime of fun!"
As one might expect, each superhero character has a backstory and special skill for fighting evil. Dozer was hit by a runaway semi-truck hauling a shipment of whole milk. The resulting splash gave the bovine the power of unbreakable bones and the strength of 1,000 bulls. Joined by the flight and power of Hooved Justice, the golden lasso of Lady Lasso, Bullseye's bell arrows, and the Chocolate Crusader's skills in cow-fu, the herd is ready to save the planet's whole milk supply from Dr. Fizz. But will they stop him in time?
Only time will tell...
