Being their first game for the PlayStation 3, Eiconic Games has a lot to prove with their upcoming title, Polar Panic. A mix of classic arcade goodness and modern gameplay, Polar Panic is looking to give gamers an exciting and fun, albeit warm, gameplay experience.
As with all games, Polar Panic had to evolve; from the preliminary conceptual stages all the way to the final code. Eiconic Games has been nice enough to provide us with an extensive amount of concept art; highlighting one of the stages in the game, the Pirate Ship, and its evolution throughout development.
A.J. says: "As Sony's first system capable of downloading games, the PlayStation 3 sure had a phenomenal library. Here, I count down ten buried treasures that you may not have heard of but are worth playing before you put your PS3 on Craigslist."
The jerky jerk-face Mr. Big and Globoco Inc. are destroying the arctic forests and are practicing off-shore oil-drilling without concern for the cute and cuddly wildlife or their environment. You may find yourself feeling as though you have transformed into Mr. Al Gore to save some polar bears. Your not just any polar bear, you play as a polar bear named Polar Bear. Okay, so our players parents weren’t too imaginative with the name, but does this ice cube-sliding action-puzzler have enough creativity to grab you and your cold hard cash?
Console Monster writes :"The premise behind Polar Panic is straight forward enough. Taking the role of Polar (the polar bear!) you must navigate your way around a maze saving your family and destroying the enemy in the process. To make things interesting the maze is filled with different types of blocks, from simple blocks of snow that require smashing, to explosive crates that require careful handling to ensure correct use. Being very snowy the floor is quite slippery, so pushing a block will generally set it off sliding in the direction pushed, making things a great deal more challenging requiring careful planning in order to ensure no mistakes are made."
The development of games and their background really intrigues me
Cardboard cutouts FTW! It would be cool if they had that option as an unlockable or something!
Good to see the smaller devs getting some exposure.
