Dubbed "Bentley's Hackpack," the free mobile release features three minigames. "Spark Runner" sees players maneuvering a spark through an electronics-themed course, "Alter Ego" is a side-scrolling shooter set inside increasingly complex mazes and "System Cracker" asks players to blow up virtual enemies from the comfort of a small tank. Those who have played Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time will recall each of these diversions as short minigames, though a later standalone release (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/05/bentleys-hackpack-of-minigames-joins-sly-cooper-on-psn-today/) on both PS3 and Vita offered more fleshed-out versions of the trio.
As Game Informer (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/01/17/sony-tests-ios-waters-with-bentley-39-s-hackpack-port.aspx) notes, the debut of Bentley's Hackpack continues a trend of Sony issuing short, tie-in games on iOS. In November, the publisher released (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/06/unlock-knack-items-eventually-in-free-ios-match-3-game-out-no/) a match-three puzzle game linked to PlayStation 4 launch title Knack.
