OTTAWA, CANADA - Sept 3, 2009 - Playbrains, an independent game development studio specializing in the digital download arena, are proud to announce that fresh from its critically acclaimed debut on Xbox LIVE® Arcade, Madballs in...Babo:Invasion (MiBI) will be releasing on PC, via the Steam digital download service on Sept.17. The game will be priced $9.99 in the US and Canada, £6.99 in the UK, €8.99 in Western Europe and €6.99 in Eastern Europe
The spiritual successor to the massively popular freeware top-down Shooter BaboViolent2, Madballs in Babo:Invasion is an arena based 3D shooter offering players a satisfying and immersive experience in both single-player and multiplayer, including 'Invasion Mode' where players are able to design their own combat maps almost instantaneously by placing a combination of map tiles to create a never-before-seen map before gameplay starts. Truly, no two games are ever the same.
Featuring the recently re-released Madballs™ characters, Oculus Orbus™ and Horn Head™, from the popular 1980's toysbest remembered for their outrageously bad looks and graphically colourful names, Madballs in...Babo: Invasion is a gameplay rich, feature laden 'casually hardcore' action shooter which is also that rarest of gaming commodities; a genuinely unique title.
