Cobra Mobile offers a bung: Sports Agent for iPhone and iPad

Having already bought Mousebreaker's online Flash game Football Agent to iPhone during the World Cup, Scottish developer Cobra Mobile has now extended the concept.

Sports Agent uses the same gameplay, but instead of the football theme it has more of a US sport appeal with ice hockey, basketball, and American footballers the objects of your dealing.

Give me the money

The objective is to buy and sell players and make enough money to buy your dream mansion and retire. You have 200 weeks to accomplish that goal.

Gameplay is simple. You buy players while their value is rising - it's displayed in small box on each player with an up or down facing arrow - and sell them as it peaks. So starting off with a small amount of cash, you have to buy and sell as multiple players pop onto the market, their values changing every second.

Obviously, you need to click on players as soon as they appear and are cheap, but with your goal requiring you to own several players simultaneously, everything gets frantic fairly fast.

Success and high scores can be highlighted thanks to Facebook Connect integration.

Sports Agent is out now, for iPhone, iPhone 4 and iPad. It costs 99c, €0.79, or 59p.
