Mercury, As Used with Thermometers, Barometers, Diffusion Pumps and Now Your Playstation®2
Atari and Ignition Entertainment are today pleased to announce Mercury Meltdown Remix, the popular franchise’s first showing on the PlayStation®2.
Take control of a liquid Mercury ‘blob’, and avoid the various obstacles and hazards to reach the end goal. The Mercury blob itself now has 4 varying ‘states’ – Normal, Solid, Fast and Slow. These states allow for larger more complex levels, which in turn mean a greater challenge and more enjoyment.
Featuring a total of 12 labs (two of which are exclusive to the PlayStation®2 console version), Mercury Meltdown Remix offers a massive 200+ levels, more than any previous Mercury title.
“Mercury Meltdown Remix builds upon the solid foundation of the PSP® version, and offers the gamer some unique and exclusive extras,” said Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment Ltd. “Mercury Meltdown Remix is the most accessible Mercury game yet.”

Over 200+ challenging levels – more than any previous Mercury title
