FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vancouver, Canada - February 22, 2012 - Independent game
developer Eden Industries has announced that their unique action
game about controlling a wave of light will be available for
release on Steam in only a few weeks in early March.
About Waveform:
Navigate the beauty and hazards of the solar system while riding
on a wave of light in this innovative arcade-action game. On your
journey to restore light to a dying galaxy being consumed by a
Singularity, you'll travel from Pluto to the Sun and interact with
a wide variety of strange objects, and mind-bending situations that
will affect the path of your wave, and the world around you, in
interesting ways.
Simple to play but difficult to master, Waveform combines the
pure fun of retro arcade titles with all the bells and whistles of
modern games. Colorful graphics and a retro-symphonic soundtrack
accompany over 100 levels of challenge and excitement full of
mysterious and fun objects like Wormholes, Particle Accelerators,
and the enigmatic Space Squids of Venus!
