PLAYRIX’S FISHDOM GOES RETAIL!
Playrix Entertainment announced
today that its latest title Fishdom is set to hit retail shelves.
Launched just a little over a month
ago, the game has enjoyed positive reviews of many online and offline
publishers. Its performance and results in the top ten charts of large gaming
portals exceeded the records previously set by Playrix’s earlier hit title – The
Rise of Atlantis – and now Fishdom is entering the European and American retail
markets.
“Based on Fishdom’s successful
online performance, our expectations about its retail distribution are very
high,” commented Dmitri Bukhman, Playrix’s CEO and co-founder. “Thanks to our
valued partners the game is already available at retail in the Benelux
countries; it is set to appear in stores in US and Canada in Q4 2008 and in the
French market shortly thereafter. We’ve also been talking to several partners in
Russia and are currently looking for retail opportunities in German-speaking
countries.”
Fishdom is a quite addicting game
combining two very popular casual game genres: sim and puzzle. Players get a
unique chance to build up their own dream aquarium and fill it with lovely
fishies and eye-catching ornaments. To do that they need to earn money by
progressing through challenging boards and solving immersive puzzles. Once the
dream aquarium is ready, it can be set up as a beautifully animated desktop
screensaver.
