Samsung’s “Unicorn Apocalypse” Is Waste of Time

March 11th, 2013 No comments

Samsung released a game called “Unicorn Apocalypse” in Google play store and guess what, it got the worst feedback. Particularly in the U.S. Samsung is currently trying to conquer the B2B market. As the trend goes to BYOD (“bring your own device”), are special SAFE devices with encryption chip to be the solution for businesses because employees will no longer need two devices more.

Samsung advertises the SAFE appliances with a fictitious company, which brings the total price match suspicious “Unicorn Apocalypse” on the market and, of course, need to provide sufficient protection for employees. During these commercials Samsung USA has launched a competition to have the game program from advertising. The result is an app that now - - only in the U.S. has landed in the Google Play Store . Poor 2 star clears the app and actually looks like the gameplay, as programmed in five days to dust off for a prize money of Samsung.

Here are some reviews from users:

  • After about a minute of gameplay, you fall off the edge and there’s just fire. You still collect points, but the unicorn isn’t on the screen.
  • If you’re going to make a series of commercials and then release the game they advertise, you have to know significant quality is expected. This game is nothing more than another poor ripoff of Robot Unicorn Attack.
  • The game has terrible lag and a rip off of rainbow unicorn, you would expect better quality for a game that has ben advertised on commercials

Samsung is in talk with Sharp to takeover a whopping 3 percent in the consumer electronics firm. With this Samsung will invest some 10 billion yen ($107 million) in Sharp.
A Sharp spokesman in Tokyo did not confirm or deny the Samsung investment plan. “This news is not something that has been announced by the company,” he said.

Sharp received a $4.4 billion bailout from banks last October but had to mortgage its offices and factories in Japan to secure the loans. It also pledged to trim its workforce by 10,000 people and sell off assets.
