Blobula

Pagan Games proudly presents Blobula. The first next-generation platform
independent game for desktop machines as well as personal digital assistants. Thanks to AmigaDE Blobula runs on most hardware but AmigaDE will at first be available for Linux, Microsoft Windows and the Sharp Zaurus PDA.

Blobula is a gravity based, fast paced action game and will offer challenges to the novice as well as the seasoned gamer. It's easy to pick up but bounces around so much it's bloody hard to put down again. Intuitive control system, great gameplay, excellent sound and beautiful graphics add up to the perfect action/puzzle game! It has been designed for the PDA market but will also be playable on desktop computers with the AmigaDE player announced by Amiga Inc.

First there is the arcade mode where you choose between three different players with different characteristics. You have to finish each level before the time limit is reached and this limit gets tighter and tighter for each level. You will be able to earn glue which will slow down the balls and help you in getting them into the right holes. The balls have to be activated before you can push them through the appropriately coloured holes by touching them with your character's ship. Once they've bumped into two other balls they will not be active any more and can no longer exit through the holes.

There are special challenge levels where you have to complete the levels in a certain way and some ways are quite challenging.

The two additional modes are Time Trial and Chill-out mode. Time Trial is a race against the high-scores where you have to push all the balls off the screen as fast as possible. In Chill-out mode you can just relax and play around with the balls and push them off the screen.. It is also a good way to get to know the controls of the game.

The game uses an intuitive control system where the control of the game becomes second nature to the player. You will soon forget that you've probably never controlled a game in this way. It works very well with a stylus and is also very playable with a mouse on a desktop machine.

The game will be offered on the Sharp Zaurus portal and will later be available from Amiga's website for desktop machines and possibly even more PDAs.
