Okay, I’ll admit it:  I didn’t have any idea what they meant by “GPS-controlled game”, either.  You can read all about it below, but the short form is, it kinda makes your iPhone or iPad into a Wii, sorta.  Your avatar moves when you do, inside of a designated area.

Now I don’t know about you, but as far as I’m concerned, that sounds hella cool.  You’ll have to decide for yourself, of course, but in the meantime you should surf on over to the Fraga-Games site and check it out.  Want to buy?  This first game has an MSRP of $0.99 at iTunes.

Full information below.

Fraga-Games Ltd., the developer of Kickin’ Fraga, is proud to launch a unique, new product for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Developed to work universally on all three iDevices, Kickin’ Fraga is the world’s first fully GPS controlled game app. The application’s avatar moves only when the user does, working solely by a change in the user’s physical location within a designated area. That means fun and exercise as a user runs around to play the game and progress the avatar. Kickin’ Fraga is only the first release in a planned series of GPS positional games from fraga-games.

Kickin’ Fraga is a new launch and a unique product offering. It is, to date anyway, the first and only GPS driven action game app available on the market. The only way for users to play is to move. The game has been developed for use outdoors. A player merely lets the GPS find his or her location to begin. From there on in, the avatar will only move in sync with the player, who must use his or her legs to get the game’s avatar around the area. There is a lot of fun to be had in this application, whose gameplay also provides the benefit of exercise and fresh air.

Users who download the Kickin’ Fraga app get to enjoy some great features:
* First and only fully GPS controlled game app in existence to date
* Great outdoor activity – exercise, fun and fresh air
* Universally designed to work perfectly on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Free and frequent updates!

According to the Fraga-Games design team, Kickin’ Fraga is just the beginning. The company plans on launching a series of other unique GPS positional games and are looking into developing multi-player versions that would allow users from all over the world to compete with each other.

Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. The fact that he commutes between his family in Austin and his day job in California is something that he is simply trying to live with. (Isabelle the Corgi helps.)
