RISING TO THE NEXT GENERATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

LONDON, – \u00a0Sept\u00a0\u00a026th 2011<\/strong> – UTV Ignition\u00a0Games today released the first-ever trailer for Mercury Hg\u00a0\u00a0launching on\u00a0 28th September for Arcade Xbox LIVE\u00ae Arcade for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft\u00a0and \u00a0PlayStation\u00ae<\/em>Network.<\/p>\n

Mercury Hg<\/em>, the next step in the evolution of the Mercury<\/em> series, presents addictive game play elements along with colourful and challenging settings. 60 new, vibrant, and expertly crafted levels expand the ambience and creativity that marked Mercury<\/em> as an original title coming at a great price point to offer superb value.<\/p>\n

Control the \u201dMercury Blob\u201d through a myriad of moving levels whilst\u00a0 staying clear of\u00a0 edges which will toss the blob into oblivion as you systemically endeavour to change the colour of the blob to sync and open pathways to progress. Floor tiles appear and disappear based on the blob\u2019s location, backgrounds pulse in time to the music and surfaces change colour and use based on player interaction. Dangerous traps and inversed designs are all there to trick and confuse. \u00a0All of this is seamlessly employed, delivering a relaxing yet very challenging gaming experience; all wrapped up in a user interface that echoes the minimalist ethic.<\/p>\n

“Mercury Hg<\/em> is a title that will attract all gamers with its broad appeal\u201d says Vip Patel, Sales Director. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun challenge that looks really cool, with endless replayability options and we are excited by the fact that this release will revitalize the Mercury<\/em> brand\u2019s popularity with a new generation of players, as well as existing fans of the franchise.”<\/p>\n
