The Bridge Disrupts Reality on XBLA Today
Following Hugely Successful PC Launch, Award Winning Physics Puzzler Offers Mind-Bending Challenges to Xbox Live Players
Edison, NJ – November 13,
in the year of our Lord 2013 – Midnight City, the
recently founded indie label of Majesco Entertainment Company
(NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of games for the mass
market, is proud to announce The Bridge is now available on the
Xbox Live online entertainment network from Microsoft for $9.99.
The first console launch for the indie publishing super group,
The Bridge brings a fresh take on physics games to the company’s
ever-growing portfolio.
The Bridge offers a supremely cerebral 2D puzzle experience for
those looking to bend their reality and perception of physics as
they know it. Players join our stalwart, amnesiac protagonist
through a journey into his heart, mind and soul to discover the
life he’s forgotten. Throughout the story, players progress
through detail-oriented, hand-drawn environments with aesthetics
reminiscent of M.C. Escher’s artwork and style. In these
fantastic puzzle rooms, players are asked to look beyond just
the protagonist and into the world around them to solve each
predicament. From the very start, The Bridge is designed to
foster outside the box and critical thinking skills, leaving the
player with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment at
the end of each level. Created to be both a stimulating
experience and accessible game, The Bridge uses a minimalistic
control scheme and effective, yet subtle tutorials through early
gameplay to introduce new features.
On his journey, our protagonist explores all 360 degrees of
reality and is challenged with varying puzzles that literally
turn his world upside down. Puzzles present themselves through
five chapters, each containing six puzzle rooms to test your
skills. As an added bonus, players who complete the core levels
can return to master mirror versions of all 24 original levels,
essentially doubling the content adding a major replay factor.
New features and conundrums continually change and present
themselves, keeping gameplay fresh and perplexing to even the
most experienced puzzler fans. Critical thinking is key to
player progress and is not limited to just the environment;
players will face off with “The Menace,” gravitational vortexes
and parallel universes which add additional layers of content
and strategy to this award winning title. Additionally, the
rewind function lets players retry key moments in the game
without having to reset the puzzle; a powerful tool that should
not be underestimated.
The Bridge was developed by game designer and programmer Ty
Taylor with artist Mario Castañeda; together they are known as
the Quantum Astrophysicists Guild.
The Bridge is rated E for Everyone and is now available on the
Xbox Live Games Store for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment
system from Microsoft for the suggested price of $9.99.
