GMA Network launches a companion game app for its hit new comedy show Juan Tamad.
Bridging the gap between reality and fiction - Catch the Guava, a game created by the characters on the show - will be downloadable by the general public this weekend.
Within the show Juan Tamad (which airs every Sunday at 5 PM on GMA), Juan pitches the idea of a game app about catching golden guavas to his brainiac best friend Miong. The friends design the Catch the Guava game and it becomes a nationwide hit … so addictive in fact, that a senator proposes a bill to ban the game.
The game mechanics are simple: keep Juan’s mouth open to catch fresh guavas, close his mouth to avoid the rotten ones. The more guavas Juan catches, the closer he gets to winning the love of Marie – just as he does on the TV show.
With the creation of an actual game app, the network hopes to engage Juan Tamad’s fans or Juanatics beyond the television screen.
Android phone and tablet users can download Catch the Guava for free via the Google Play Store starting this Sunday, October 11, while IOS phone users will have access to the game by November 11.
Catch the Guava was developed for GMA Network by 88GamePub.
