Hustle Kings Vita Online Bonus Challenge Attempt

February 23, 2012 |  by  |  Hustle Kings  |  Comments Off

We’ve posted a video of me playing one of the Online Bonus Challenges in Hustle Kings on Vita. I went for Pocket Timer which requires you to pot 15 balls as fast as you can.
The time you take is then posted to an online leaderboard so you can compare your time with your friends and the world.

Watch the video to see how I got on, and then boot up your Vita and Hustle Kings to see where you can get to on the rankings and if you can beat my time :)
There’s also a thread in our forum where you can discuss this video and your times.

Hustle Kings for Vita is Released!

February 21, 2012 |  by  |  Hustle Kings  |  Comments Off

Hustle Kings Vita

Hello everyone!
Sorry it’s been a while since our last post. It’s not you, it’s us. We have been busy putting all the finishing touches to Hustle Kings for Vita.

Everyone here at VooFoo is proud to say that you will all be able to get your hands on Hustle Kings as a Vita launch title on 22nd of February. Once you’ve got your Vita all unwrapped, head to the PlayStation Store and you’ll find Hustle Kings there for a superb £6.49. If you have pre-ordered a Vita then you can redeem your discount voucher to get Hustle Kings for just £1.49!

And if that wasn’t tempting enough, you’ll also get the PS3 version for free! That is a flabbergasting deal right there. The two versions are very different so you’re almost getting two games for the price of one.

Hustle Kings Vita

We have spent a lot of time and effort making Hustle Kings on Vita as great as possible. There are a lot of improvements from the PlayStation 3 version of Hustle Kings, along with a lot of entirely new content just for Vita.

We wanted to take full advantage of the Vita’s unique inputs, and we think we’ve done so with a selection of control methods to cater for everyone from novice players right up to all you Hustle Kings pros. If you want to bask in the Vita’s touchscreen glory then it’s really straightforward to play Hustle Kings using touch. Or if you are more into thumbsticks and buttons then you can do that too just as easily.

To limber you up for this new Vita experience we’ve made an entirely new Training Mode that will teach you everything from aiming and breaking off to swerves and cue ball control. We have also completely re-designed Career, which now has eight unique pool crews to hustle against on your path earning HKC (Hustle Kings Credits) and becoming a certified Hustle King.

Hustle Kings Vita

There are also a range of ways to play multiplayer matches. You can play either Head to Head or Multiplayer with up to 8 players, including Cross-Play against players on both Vita and PlayStation 3.
You can test the online multiplayer waters in Practice lobbies where your ranking and HKC are not affected. Once you’ve got a taste for playing online, try your luck in Ranked lobbies to improve your online ranking without risking any HKC. And for those of you wanting to prove your hustling skills, Hustle lobbies are where you can put your HKC on the line.

Also, exclusive to Hustle Kings on Vita, is our selection of online Bonus Challenges. These are unique score-based games that will test your speed, precision and stamina. Upload your scores to online leaderboards to prove to your friends and the world that you are the ultimate Hustle King.

And on top of all that, there’s Message Play which lets you play a game via messages. If you’ve got five minutes to burn while you wait for a train, start a Message Play game, take your shot and message it to a friend. When he’s got a few minutes free, he can take his shot and then message you to let you know it’s your turn. You can take your shot whenever you like and have multiple games active to make sure you’ve always got someone to play against.

Hustle Kings Vita

We hope you all have great fun playing Hustle Kings on Vita. To keep up to date with Hustle Kings and our other projects, keep checking back here or follow us on twitter @VooFoo. We are always keen to hear your reaction to our games and welcome your feedback. Now go get hustling!
