Beta Testing Starts for Mars Lander Curve 8900 and Tour 9630 Version
I am pleased to announce that we have begun open beta testing on our latest version of Mars Lander for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Tour 9630.
BACKGROUND:
You are the head of a space transportation company and your goal is to deliver exploration rovers to Mars.
HOW TO PLAY:
You start off with a brand new Daedalus class spaceship and $60k in the bank. The successful delivery of your cargo will garner you monetary rewards and a new contract. However, if you crash, you must purchase a replacement ship from your banked funds. If you do not have enough money to purchase a new ship, then your career is over and you spend the remainder of your days at a remote base on the frozen arctic tundra collecting seal droppings.
There are five classes of spaceship. Each one costs more than the previous one, delivers a larger cargo and has more fuel.
There are a total of 25 missions available. As you progress upwards in mission levels the obstacles will become more difficult to navigate, you encounter wind storms and last few missions are even conducted at night.
We already have a full version for the BlackBerry Storm (Click Here) and this is just the next phase of the game development.
Of course the primary difference between Tour/Curve version and the previous Storm one is the lack of a touch screen and the screen is 480×360 as compared to the Storm’s 360×480 orientation.
The move to develop the Curve and Tour version next was a tough one since we also considered the Curve 8330 as a candidate. Ultimately we felt that the larger screen would present the game with more detail.
Update: Mars Lander has gone live and is still available at the below link.
