Casual game available online in October at Merscom Arcade
Merscom announced today that DNA will be available for online
distribution in early October for $19.99. Developed by 5TH Cell Media,
DNA is an innovative twist on the puzzle genre.
Instead of the
match 3-color system and grid system found in many popular online
games, DNA uses a color combination system. Additionally, DNA features
a unique storyline and a stylishly detailed setting that lay the
groundwork for experimental gameplay in three different modes. In DNA,
players help biologist Dr. Rose Thompson with her unusual experiments
to create new flowers and help save others from extinction. Users
combine different colored proteins and create entirely new cells. With
each chain built, hybrid molecules grow into a variety of amazing
flowers.
"DNA is a fantastic game that is perfect for our
customers," said Lloyd Melnick, Director for Merscom. "It is the ideal
casual game fun and accessible, but unique, which is consistent with
what we strive to create with all our games."
Players choose
from Eternal, Puzzle and Action modes to add variety to their DNA
experiences. Simple, intuitive point-and-click play helps players
master the game within minutes. With 67 levels to complete, DNA provide
hours of original, addictive gameplay. When finished, players can save
their scores and compare with other high-scoring DNA fans.
"DNA
is the next evolution of casual gaming," said Joseph M. Tringali,
General Manager at 5TH Cell. "We set out to create an innovative and
engaging casual action-puzzle game, and are quite thrilled with how it
turned out. DNA is more than just “match three'; the unique “shape
combo' game mechanic is fun and accessible to users of all ages."
