Brand-New App Tops Paid iPad App Lists in U.S. and 40 International Markets

Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run global mobile app in its first week of release has skyrocketed to the number-one spot on the paid iPad app lists and number-three spot on the paid iPhone app lists in the US. The app also is currently ranking as the number-one paid iPad app in more than 40 international markets. Released Thursday, April 18, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run is an endless runner ninja combat game, where players run, jump and fight their way across the rooftops of New York in an attempt to save the city from the invading Kraang and ultimate destruction.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run, players assume the role of their favorite Turtle as they outrun the Kraang’s tractor beam, battling enemies with Ninjutsu combat along the way. As enemies are defeated, players earn coins that can be redeemed for awesome power ups, weapons and gear. Collecting energy orbs fills the player’s Energy Meter and keeps the Kraang away. Once the Energy Meter is filled, players enter “Turtle Time” – a special combat mode where game play is zoomed in and slowed down, and players must tap in rapid succession, striking multiple enemies simultaneously in a thrilling fight sequence to increase coin collection.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run is currently the number-one paid iPad app in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Poland, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Argentina, Moldova, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Turkey, UAE, Chile, Panama, Romania, Slovakia, Croatia, Kuwait, Ukraine, Israel, Grenada, Slovenia, Cyprus, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Bermuda, Greece, Ireland, Azerbaijan, Portugal, Estonia, Latvia, Jamaica, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan.
