Saber's Edge and To-Fu Fury are co-developed with partners, Hibernum and HotGen as part of Amazon Game Studios' mission to build fun, immersive games from the ground up for Amazon devices.

These new games are created exclusively for Fire phone and take advantage of Amazon's Dynamic Perspective. It enables Fire phone players to control gameplay with their head movements or by tilting the device to change direction or view.

"Amazon Game Studios is working with some of the best studios to co-develop games that leverage the amazing capabilities of our new devices," said Mike Frazzini,vice president of Amazon Games. Saber's Edge and To-Fu Fury are just the beginning of what Amazon Game Studios and the entire game development community can do using the immersive new Dynamic Perspective technology built into Fire phone."

Saber's Edge

Saber's Edge is a strategic match-3 puzzle game where players match tiles across four sides of a rotating cube at the bottom of the screen to help pirates battle rival crews at the top of the screen. The more matches players make, the more firepower they give their pirates in battle. Using Dynamic Perspective, players peek around the corners of the cube to see opportunities to extend their matches, or tilt the device to spin the cube left or right to the next cube face. The victorious are rewarded with treasure used to build a pirate crew powerful enough to eventually reign supreme.

To-Fu Fury

Cheat death, defeat enemies, and save the Fortune Kitty in To-Fu Fury, a humorous action game where the player becomes To-Fu, a stretchy, sticky, flingy, and combative cube of bean-curd. Set in a distant land of dojos, temples, and ninjas, players must navigate To-Fu through deadly spikes, devious traps, and powerful enemies to free Fortune Kitty. Each element of the game comes to life on Fire phone's interface with this new look of the  To-Fu series. Players can use their head to peek around levels, see their obstacles and plot their strategy.

Saber's Edge is free, and To-Fu Fury costs just $1.99. Both games allow players to purchase optional power-ups and access to additional game features. The games will be available exclusively for Fire phone in the Amazon Appstore.
