iPhone Game Application Sales aimed to oil spill relief fund
26.07.2010
Razorleaf Studios, a subsidiary of Allen Group Inc, has announced commitment to
donate all of the revenues from the sale of the "Gushers" iPhone appliance to the so
called Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund, a non-profit organization that works on emergency
assistance to fishermen whose entire living environments were totally affected by the
Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill.
Since 2009, Gushers is a popular interactive game covering topic of oil explorations,
designed for iPhone and iPad ; the game is concentrated on an actual oil drilling
environment, with special stressing on oil techniques through various game situations
and scenarios.
It is reported about approximately 637 miles of Gulf Coast shoreline is affected: 96
miles in Florida, 362 miles in Louisiana, 109 miles in Mississippi and 70 miles in
Alabama.
About 5 million barrels of oil flawed at sea, before leak has been plugged, heavily
crippling businesses and nature.
Razorleaf Studios, operated and , in fact, owned by two college students, claims over
10 000 downloads are already executed, and the fund was established by the Greater
New Orleans Foundation to send philanthropic dollars into severed communities.
Anthony Allen, founder of Razorleaf, said "My twin brother Chris and I cannot even
imagine the damage caused by the spill and felt that we really needed to do something
to help out. Being college students, our funds are relatively limited, but having had
developed an oil-themed game, Gushers, several months before the current oil spill,
we decided that the game would be the perfect medium for us to raise funds to help
out the Gulf region."
