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.
