SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – July 1, 2009 – Publisher X, a videogame publisher committed to providing entertaining and innovative titles through the growing digital distribution channel, and Mondo Media are proud to announce that Slap Happy, a new mobile app inspired by the global hit animated series “Happy Tree Friends” is in development and scheduled for release on Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® touch this August.

We’re thrilled to bring our take on this irreverent comedy to iPhone owners worldwide,” said Mel Kirk, Director of Marketing for Publisher X. “If you’re a fan of the series, or simply like edgy humor, Happy Tree Friends will definitely be a welcome addition to your iPhone library when it releases in August.”
