New Details Emerge for Upcoming PS Vita Game - Tales from Space Mutant Blobs Attack
TORONTO, Ontario - January 19, in the year of our Lord
2012 - Independent developer DrinkBox Studios, Inc.
today released new information about its upcoming
PlayStationŽVita handheld entertainment system title, Tales from
Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. The Toronto-based studio also
re-confirmed its intention to work towards a North American
launch day release.
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a side-scrolling puzzle
platformer about an ornery mutant blob that, after being held
captive in a lab that can only be described as something out of
a retro sci-fi movie from the early '50's, escapes into the
world and sets out on a path to destroy and consume everything!
A follow-up to last year's PlayStationŽNetwork title Tales from
Space: About a Blob, Mutant Blobs Attack will contain a wide
range of exciting new features and gameplay modes designed
exclusively for the PlayStationŽVita handheld entertainment
system.
"We are all very excited about PlayStationŽVita and to be part
of the launch," said Ryan MacLean, CEO of DrinkBox Studios. "The
system's next generation features have allowed us to really
think outside of the box while developing Mutant Blobs Attack -
it feels as though the technology has in some areas exceeded
that of its console counterpart. We've had a lot of fun creating
the game and we're working hard to get it out as soon as
possible!"
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack will feature new levels,
new powers, new PlayStationŽVita controls, new gameplay modes,
new puzzle solving elements, a new (faster) blob player
character, and more.
Play as an all-consuming mutant blob as you explore (and devour)
your way through more than two dozen interactive levels.
A wide range of environments: everything from a frat house to a
metropolis
Next generation touch controls (touchscreen and rear touch pad)
combined with those of a classic platformer for a fresh take on
the platforming genre
"Tilt-a-Blob" bonus levels featuring gyroscopic controls reward
players' performance and add to the replayability
Growth throughout levels provide players with a constantly
changing perspective on the in-game world
Challenging puzzles mixed into the action and mayhem
Competitive, collection-based leaderboards, support for special
in-game achievements and Trophies
