UTV Ignition Games Announces Mercury Meltdown and Mercury Hg
Los Angeles- Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Booth
#5500 - June 7, in the year of our Lord 2011- UTV
Ignition Games today announced at the Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3) in Los Angeles the next two releases in the critically
acclaimed Mercury franchise - Mercury Meltdown for iOS and
Mercury Hg for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game
and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®
Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Modern and visually stunning updates to the Mercury franchise
tailored for new platforms, both titles will revitalize the
popular IP for its new and extensive existing fanbase.
Mercury Hg expands on the addictive qualities of its
predecessors, crafting 60 all-new deviously constructed levels
filled with hazards and obstacles while adding improvements and
polish to almost every aspect of the game. The 'Mercury Blob' is
still as mesmerizing as ever, moving uniquely under player
control, changing color in order to progress through the level
and dividing if cut by a protruding surface. While this
dissection is important to solve puzzles, the real test of a
player's skill is the ability to navigate strategically through
varying types of slippery objects and sticky tiles with the use
of balance and momentum in order to get to the finish line with
their blob fully intact. A scoring system with full online
leaderboard support adds a competitive touch to an already
engrossing single-player experience. Additionally, the blob and
game levels pulsate and react to the in-game music or songs from
the player's library in real-time.
