Sidhe’s Retro-Inspired,
Modern-Crafted Take on Brick-Breaking to Premiere at $7.99
Sidhe, New Zealand’s largest game
production studio, today announced that its original title, Shatter™, will debut
on PlayStation®Network in two weeks time. The retro-inspired brick-breaking
game, merging familiar action with a modern-crafted production approach, has
been gaining buzz and support from the gaming media since its debut at E3 09 in
the Into The Pixel Gallery. Nominated as one of the Most Innovative Games of E3
by 1up.com, Shatter™ will be available for $7.99 beginning July 23rd.
“We’ve had an incredibly warm
reception from everyone who has played the game so far, and we’re looking
forward to the PlayStation audience getting a chance to play Shatter,” said
Mario Wynands, Managing Director of Sidhe. “We think the audience will find
Shatter to be a fun title with a deep, inspired soundtrack that makes you want
to keep playing long after you should be in bed.”
Shatter will remind players of
classic brick-breaking games, but with twists that make it modern and unique
including:
-
• Innovative controls, physics
effects, power-ups, special attacks, and boss battles which combine to provide
an experience that is always interactive -
• Standard, Boss Rush and
Bonus game modes enhanced with leaderboards and trophies -
• Vibrant 3D style presented
across 10 distinct worlds in 4xAA 60fps HD -
• A fully scored soundtrack
featuring more than 90 minutes of rich original music
Shatter continues Sidhe’s moves to
self publish a range of original, high-quality titles for the console download
market. For more information on Shatter, visit:
