Car Mania

17th July 2009, London, UK: Origin8 (makers of the acclaimed ‘Sentinel’ strategy games) are pleased to announce the release of ‘Car Mania’, a casual route management game with hardcore production values. ‘Car Mania’ provides deceptively challenging pick-up-and-play action, vibrant visuals and a criminally catchy soundtrack. ‘Car Mania’ is available for the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch from the iTunes App Store for $0.99 or regional equivalent.

‘Car Mania’ features:

- Intuitive controls – draw each vehicle’s path with your finger; tap to stop and go.

- Keep commuters moving and in one piece – delays and crashes cause the road rage meter to rise!

- Juggle a variety of cars, trucks and motorbikes, each with different speeds and capabilities.

- Watch out for road works or you’ll get in a jam!

- Play across three gorgeous maps with distinct layouts and unique challenges.

- Go for the top score in a fast and furious round of Time Attack, or play Survival mode and see how long you can keep the city moving.

- Want to let off some steam? Try Road Rage mode where pile ups mean points. Happy wrecking!

- With full online high scores and unlockable achievements using OpenFeint, there’s always an excuse for just one more go.
