This is The Police Raids into Mobile

Fighting corruption and negotiating with the mob whilst you are on your commute? No problem! Critically-acclaimed strategy police adventure This is the Police from developer Weappy Studios will be available for Android and iOS platforms on December 13th 2018.

Pull on the boots of Jack Boyd, grumpy Police Chief of Freeburg PD and find a way to amass a $500,000 fortune in only 180 days, before you are forced to retire. Jack has to juggle dealing with the Mafia, corrupt cops, seedy politicians, and even members of the clergy who are way closer to hell than heaven.

The mobile version of This is the Police will be published by HandyGames – and a premium title. Buy once, play forever. Even offline.

“HandyGames has been a part of the mobile market for over 18 years now. We’ve made and sold many games on various platforms all over the world, with our future now being in the premium game space. Our upcoming releases will focus on that model – and if a game is a premium title, that means no lootboxes, no in-app purchases, no adds, no gambling,“ says Christopher Kassulke, CEO, HandyGames.

When it’s released on December 13th, This is the Police will be compatible with iOS 8 or better and Android 6 with 1.5 GB RAM or better. The price will be $7.99 with absolutely no microtransactions!

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
