Flock Announced
already revealed the existence of Proper Games' upcoming downloadable puzzle
game that's due this holiday season. The game is being developed by vets of the
development teams for Crackdown, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and Lemmings, and
the later game seems to be the inspiration for this flocking game: SAN
MATEO, Calif. — Jul 15, 2008 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide
developer and publisher of video games, today announced Flock! (working title)
for PLAYSTATION®Network, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows® PC. Developed by Proper
Games™, whose talented team members are known for their previous work on
Lemmings, Crackdown, and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Flock! is currently
scheduled for a downloadable release this Holiday season.
In Flock!, players take control of a UFO that has been given the challenge of
herding farm animals to its mothership through a variety of puzzle-filled
interactive levels, including corn fields, pastures and other “plushie”-like
environments. In order to succeed, players will have to manage the quirkiness of
the animal’s distinct behaviors, as well as solve a series of environmental
puzzles using Flock’s! physics-based gameplay. The animals that populate these
islands – sheep, chickens, pigs, cows and more – respond to the UFO in all kinds
of eccentric ways based on their nature. By finding or creating a passable route
across a level, players can herd the animals safely toward their ship. Solving
the puzzles within the suggested time limit yields exciting rewards, but players
can also take their time in order to find more hidden bonuses. With a unique
theme, clever humor and easy pick-up-and-play controls, Flock! promises to be an
instant hit with gamers of all ages!
Flock! uses a sophisticated physics engine that drives the challenging puzzle
elements of the game. Whether using the Tractor Beam to move obstacles out of
the way or the Depressor Beam to stamp out crop circles to guide your herds,
being an extraterrestrial has never been this fun! Friends will also be able to
join in on the animal herding adventures through co-op play. And when all the
levels have been completed, the journey is just getting started as users will be
able to make their own customized puzzle-filled levels using the level editor.
Flock! comes packed with so much content, the potential fun is out of this
world!
