Nurium Games has released BreakQuest, a Windows arcade game
that promises full-on action and exciting gameplay. While the game has the bricks and balls
that are available in traditional video games, BreakQuest's spectacular graphics feature 16
million colors and ultra-smooth animation. Unlike traditional breakout games that are ruled
by simple mechanics, BreakQuest's sophisticated physics engine and innovative collision
rules allow for a completely new game experience in a universe that is full of
wonder.
There are bricks that fall, bricks that move in unfathomable ways, hanging
bricks, bricks with springs, bricks that grow and shrink, and bricks that shoot at you.
BreakQuest's advanced particle system creates a wide range of sparkling visual effects. You
have to deal with bugs and bricks of all shapes and sizes to defend the world from the
evil
corporate empire.
Choose your command ship from ten different models. Control
its fully deformable bouncing surface to save the world, or just to have some
fun.
Select from 100 unique scenes, with their own colorful designs, custom sound
effects, and unique behavior for all critical game elements.
Playing BreakQuest in
quest mode offers three difficulty settings. Different scenes offer bugs with different
personalities, and bricks with different physical properties. Collect keys to advance your
quest and save the world once again.
Playing BreakQuest in arcade mode, you can
configure the game to your liking. You can vary the scenes, ball speed, and bumper size and
customize the power ups and power downs.
Choose among nine different weapons. With
this much variability, every game can be a brand new experience.
In addition to
crystal clear sound effects, BreakQuest features an original, copyrighted, extended sound
track by the professional gaming music group Maniacs of Noise.
Whether you're a
classical game player who wants to see how breakout games have evolved, a serious game
player who wants to see the latest in physics engines and graphics, or a business person who
needs the occasional break from work to relax and save the world, BreakQuest provides the
entertainment that you need.
The full release of BreakQuest will take place later in
fall 2004. BreakQuest runs under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and is priced at USD
19.99(US).
