Spin Jam on Sony Playstation
Empire Interactive lines up an addictive arcade puzzle game for the Sony PlayStation.
Empire Interactive is pleased to announce the imminent release of Spin Jam on Sony Playstation, an arcade puzzler that blends the hottest in cerebral gaming with outrageously loveable virtual characters. Who needs photo-realistic 3D landscaping; Full Motion Video sequences; or 250,000 shaded, textured 3D polygons rendered by the second? Spin Jam is smaller, quieter; a game of high strategy and careful thought that also requires lightning-fast reflexes. Like all the best games, Spin Jam is simple but addictive. Once you pick it up, you’ll find it almost impossible to put down.
Spin Jamming involves firing a selection of coloured bubbles from a launcher into a central wheel. To make the bubbles disappear, you need to position three bubbles of the same colour next to each other. This is achieved by spinning the wheel, allowing you to fire blue bubbles onto blue bubbles and green bubbles onto green. When three bubbles match they pulse and explode, shooting the matched bubbles towards a series of petals on the screen. When each of the petals on the screen is filled with the same coloured bubbles it will pop. When all the petals have popped the level is complete! Make the right match, and score points for your skill. Fail to match the colours, and the balls will return to the cluster, forcing you to pop and spin with increasing speed. The higher the level, the more bubbles the petals require before they burst.
Testing both a player’s hand-eye co-ordination and their forward thinking, Spin Jam also features a handy Tutorial mode to introduce new gamers to the bubble-launching basics. In addition, the non-stop spinning and popping gameplay is available in three different modes. The Arcade mode pits your skills against the clock in a
one-player test of endurance. In the Battle Mode, you can face off against another Spin Jam player (human or CPU), taking control of a chosen character that has access to its own selection of game-enhancing special powers.
Lastly, the Story Mode takes you on a journey through the Spin Jam universe, a bubble-filled odyssey through surreal worlds inhabited by strange and wonderful characters. Test your petal-metal against the Spin Jamming skills of Aqualad and Baby-bot. Find out whether you’ve got what it takes to beat Booger, Gillybones or Lemondrop. And if you manage to defeat all five of these, Moolamb, Nips, Poppy and Wigsey are just waiting to take you on.
Key Features: Frantic and challenging 2-player mode, 100 levels of increasing difficulty, compete in Arcade mode against the clock – a real test of endurance. Battle Mode allows you to maximise your characters potential against another player (human or CPU) and special powers enables you to create havoc and send your opponent into a pop and spin
frenzy. Fantastic story mode that takes you through the Spin Jam universe, visiting funky worlds and find yourself battling a vast array of wild and wacky characters.
Spin Jam is scheduled for release on 26th May 2000. For further information, please contact Dawn Beasley on 0208 343 7337 or email: dawn@empire.co.uk
