puzzle game that will hit PCs and consoles this summer, bringing a flow of
flooze (not flooz, sorry Whoopi): AUSTIN, Texas - April 14, 2008 - With a
new twist to classic favorite, Empire Interactive will heat up the puzzle game
genre with the summer release of Pipemania for the Nintendo DS(TM), Wii(TM),
PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system, PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment
system and PC. As they race against time, puzzle game fans of all ages and
experience will be able to enjoy hours of brain-teasing fun in this frantic
series of quests and puzzles that uses updated gameplay mechanics to build on
one of the most poplar franchises of all time.
"The current generation of gaming platforms presented a great opportunity to
re-create Pipemania with all-new features that are sure to challenge players of
all ages and skill-level," said Karim Farghaly, vice president of sales, Empire
Interactive. "We are certain new and old fans alike will find it hard to put
down the mayhem packed into the new installation of Pipemania."
Pipemania is a fast-paced puzzle game in which players lay down a pre-ordained
set of pipes on a tiled grid in order to keep the Flooze, a constant flowing
substance that speeds up with progression, moving through the pipes as long as
possible without overflowing. Players will need to be fast with their fingers
and utilize quick and forward thinking, precise coordination, and keen awareness
if they plan to survive the time constraints, pressure and accuracy needed to
navigate through the game. There is no chance for players to let their guard
down, as complication increases with new elements as players progress through
the game.
Pipemania tests players' skills in five different game modes - world, arcade,
bonus, multiplayer, classic, and best of the all - the original Pipemania game.
Players will navigate through more than 70 levels with seven different themes in
order to build their Island World. The frantic puzzle game offers hours of
entertainment with enhanced visuals, new play mechanics, multiple attacks and
damages, various Floozes, and an army of characters for players to help and
hinder along the way. The entire game can be played in single player or in co-op
for competitive play between two players.
The original version of Pipemania was released in 1989 and followed by Pipe
Dreams in 1991. It has been ranked as one of the most popular games of all time
and delivered exceptional sales with more than 4 million units worldwide, making
it one of the most successful puzzle games in history.
