One of the more interesting PS4 launch titles is Knack – an action platformer directed by Mark Cerny. The sport looks to hearken back to the nice ol’ days of character drive platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank while updating the gameplay with modern sensibilities. One aspect of its modernization is a companion mobile app.

Sony Computer Entertainment America released Knack’s Quest on iOS today every week before the PS4′s and Knack’s launch on November 15. The sport is an easy match-three puzzle game like Bejeweled, but it’s greater than only a game looking to profit from the following-gen hype. It is going to allow players to earn items that may then be sent to Knack at the PS4.

Here’s the official description:

Knack’s Quest is an easy puzzle game where you collect 3 or more of an analogous variety of parts. Collecting parts will make Knack grow larger – reach the utmost size throughout the deadline to clear the stage. Super Move (Special Power) Collect Sunstones to exploit two types of Super Moves! Use the “Thunder Chain”, which lets you collect all parts of a definite type by tracing over them with a single vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. Or use the “Blast” to assemble parts all of sudden by tapping on them. Use both super moves wisely in line with the location and collect a lot of parts right away!

Here’s what the sport feels like:

It’s simplistic, but it’s a free mobile tie-in game for a PS4 title. What else would you are expecting? Besides, the sport isn’t the exciting part about this. Knack’s Quest, alongside the approaching PS app, are hopefully signs that Sony is increasingly adopting mobile as a marketing tool for its console games. In the end, a free mobile game is healthier than simply a mobile ad.

You can grab Knack’s Quest for iOS from the App Store today. It supports devices with iOS 6 and up. There’s no word yet on an Android version, but there probably might be one soon.
