MERCURY SET TO RISE AGAIN
Ignition Entertainment Announces "Mercury Meltdown" - Sequel to Award-Winning Puzzler
SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 13, 2006 - Ignition
Entertainment, a worldwide developer and publisher of
interactive software, announced today their plans to bring
the addictive puzzler sequel "Mercury Meltdown" (www.mercurymeltdown.com) to the PSPtm
(PlayStation®Portable) system. Scheduled for an August 22nd
launch, Mercury Meltdown expands massively on the unique game
play of the highly-acclaimed PSP system launch title, "Archer
Maclean's Mercury."
Modeled after the old-fashioned wooden labyrinth game,
Mercury Meltdown lets you take control of a liquid mercury
'blob', guiding it around traps, door switches, spikes,
moving floors and other hazardous elements. The sequel
features a fresh, vibrant graphical style with a zany cartoon
quality.
"While remaining true to the first game, Mercury Meltdown has
a more accessible look and feel designed to appeal to a wider
audience," said Paul Robinson, president of Ignition
Entertainment. "Gamers who loved the first Mercury title will
still find their favorite elements, now with over 160
challenging levels, party games and new mercury blob
physics."
Revisit the twists and turns of this unique series, with
numerous new game play features including:
- State-of-the-art blob physics including normal mercury, solid, cold and hot forms.
- Freeform game progression.
- 'Ghost' and 'Replay' modes to view your past game performance.
- Super-fast load times.
- Downloadable content via Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's official YourPSPtm website.
- Hidden labs and party games to unlock.
