eGames Builds Puzzle City for Nintendo DS with Destineer
Casual
Puzzle Arcade Game Breaks Retail Ground May 27
LANGHORNE, Pa.,
May 7, 2009 – Casual games developer and publisher eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
EGAM), announced today the North American launch of Puzzle City™ for Nintendo DS™ on May 27. Published by Destineer, Puzzle City follows Burger Island® for Wii™ as the second game released by eGames and
Destineer in as many months.
“Introducing our portfolio of proprietary titles to
new audiences and consoles remains one of eGames’ top priorities,” said eGames
Vice President, Sales and Marketing Rich Siporin. “As with Burger
Island on Wii and Nintendo DS, Destineer continues to serve as an
invaluable partner in this endeavor.”
According to Scott Steinberg of Gamezebo.com, “Puzzle City
combines the best that construction sims and head-scratching mindbenders have
to offer into a single, spectacular outing - and in a way that's completely
original and innovative to boot.” Under
the watchful eye of real estate maven Mz. Towers,
the player will use stylus-based controls to assemble buildings including
homes, factories, shopping malls, schools, and fire stations from color-coded
construction blocks. With the help of
Biff and his construction crew, the player utilizes power-ups to bulldoze
unnecessary buildings, break up or detonate construction pieces, and spray
paint new colors across multiple stages, including snow-covered mountains,
deserts, swamps, and a lunar colony.
Previously published for Nintendo DS by rondomedia
in the German speaking territories, Puzzle City precedes the release of Wii and
Nintendo DS versions of fashion-themed time management game Satisfashion later this year.
