Majesco Entertainment Announces
‘Blast Works’ for the Wii Console
"Sticky" Shooter With Retro
Styling Features Multiple Editors For Maximum Creativity
A frenetic geometric battle is
heading to the Wii(TM) home video game system as Majesco Entertainment Company,
an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the
mass market, today announced Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy. Developed by
Budcat Creations and scheduled for a fall release, Blast Works is a
side-scrolling shooter that lets players craft the game to their liking by
building their own levels, ships and enemy ships. In addition, players can
"absorb" the pieces and weapons of destroyed enemy ships to bolster their own
defenses during battle.
"Gamers can literally build their
own shooter experience via Blast Works’ easy-to-use, multiple in-game editors,"
said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco. "This exceptional
customization combined with the unique "stickiness" of enemy debris and bright
geometric graphics delivers a standout game that never plays the same way
twice."
Across more than 15 different land,
air and sea missions, the goal of Blast Works is to destroy enemy ships while
continually growing your own into a massive craft by absorbing their fragments.
The larger a "fused ship" is, the easier it is to protect from the growing
onslaught of enemy firepower. Players can also upgrade their ship in the Hangar
by customizing weapons, propulsion systems and armor. Creative types will
further enjoy building a ship from scratch with the Ship Editor and then testing
it out in combat on a custom level they’ve built with the Level Editor. To
defend the Hangar, players must use the Wii Remote(TM) like an anti-aircraft
turret to shoot down enemies attacking from all angles. Finally, the game’s
2-player cooperative mode lets players work together to blast enemies, fuse
debris to grow their ships and finish the mission as a team.
Blast Works: Build, Fuse & Destroy
will be available this fall. For additional information on the game, please
