There is of course no shortage of back-and-forth blunders between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. It's to be expected of course, but one of the most random things to come out of this campaign is a story about Romney placing the family dog in a cartop carrier during a 1983 road trip. That's becoming the fodder for a new mobile app heading just in time for the election season.

Publisher Censault LLC will launch The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed on August 26, which happens to be both National Dog Day and the eve of the Republic National Convention. The game tasks players with helping the Romney family pooch escape his high-speed prison.

"The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed, is one of the first entries into a powerful new genre of mobile games-as-social commentary – games designed to use humor, satire and fun gameplay to engage players and affect social change," reads the game's description.
