Indie Stealth-Action Puzzler Kicks Off Microsoft's House Party Promo
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Independent game developer Trapdoor and EA Partners, a division of
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that the sci-fi
stealth-action puzzler, Warp™, is now available for
download on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points. Warp was
praised by IGN.com as being, "fun and as dark as you
want it to be," and is the first title to kick off Microsoft's
third-annual Xbox LIVE Arcade ‘House Party' for Xbox 360 videogame and
entertainment system, a line-up of this season's best downloadable games
coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Warp puts players in control of Zero, a loveable — yet lethal —
little orange alien with a big score to settle. After being captured and
taken prisoner in an underwater facility, Zero is subject to torturous
research experiments by cruel scientists. But Zero's powerful and deadly
abilities help him break loose and gamers must guide him through the
laboratory to safety.
Warp has been praised for its dynamic gameplay, giving players
the choice to take bloody revenge on every human they encounter or hide
and plan their way through each level for a no-kills, stealth game.
Bending the traditional rules of videogames, Warp features clever
and intuitive puzzle-based gameplay where players decide how to traverse
obstacles and combine abilities to master challenge rooms and top online
leaderboards.
Warp will be available on PlayStation®Network in North America
and PC on March 13, 2012 for $9.99 USD. Warp will be
available in Europe on PlayStation®Network on March 14, 2012. For more
information on Warp, please visit www.ea.com/warp.
