Atlus distribuirá Droplitz

Blitz Arcade ha anunciado vía nota de prensa su reciente trato con Atlus U.S.A. para distribuir Droplitz en Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC y iPhone. Steve Stopps, director de proyectos de Blitz Arcade, ha dicho que están «realmente emocionados» con el juego, no sólo por ser una «idea originalmente nuestra, sino porque creemos que es un gran juego. Cuando te das cuenta de que la gente que ha estado trabajando en el juego todo el día sigue jugando por su cuenta, tienes algo especial. También somos realmente afortunados por haber encontrado un colaborador como Atlus, que comparten nuestra pasión y emoción por llevar Droplitz al mundo». Droplitz tiene como objetivo (como uno de los minijuegos de Super Mario 64 DS, parecido) llevar desde la parte superior hasta la inferior de la pantalla una especie de diamantes, o similar, a través de unos caminos que el jugador ha de ir formando modificando una serie de piezas con trozos de recorrido. Es un juego al que así a bote pronto parece muy fácil cogerle el gusto, por lo sencillo de su concepto y por el sistema de combos y puntuaciones que le han metido. Puede ser un título arcade muy interesante; no se sabe cuándo va a salir pero le seguiremos la pista. Junto con la nota de prensa incluían tres imágenes, estas que os enseñamos a continuación.

BLITZ ARCADE SIGNS WITH ATLUS TO DROP DROPLITZ 14 April 2009 Blitz Arcade is excited to announce its decision to team up with Atlus U.S.A Inc to bring you Droplitz for XBLA, PSN, PC and iPhone. Droplitz is all about connecting dials to save the precious droplitz dripping from the top of the screen. If you create multiple paths at the same time, you earn score combos and generate more droplitz. Steve Stopps, Blitz Arcade Project Director, says: “We’re all really exctited about Droplitz, not just because it’s originally our own idea, but because we believe it’s a really great game. When you find out that the people who’ve been working on the game all day are still playing it in their own time you’ve got something special. We’re also very fortunate to have found a partner like Atlus, who share our passion and excitement about bringing Droplitz to the world.” Droplitz is the latest original concept by a Blitz Arcade staff member to hit the market. Everyone at Blitz has the opportunity to pitch their own game idea, with the very best concepts selected for production. Tim Pivnicny, VP of Marketing and Sales at Atlus, comments: “Droplitz represents the very best in satisfying casual gaming. We’re very thrilled to be able to work with Blitz Arcade in bringing this original, easy to play, and highly addictive title to multiple platforms. The game clearly represents its developer’s attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to quality.” DROPLITZ: • Infinitely accessible, instantly addictive – Turn dials, open paths, and don’t let the droplitz go to waste!
