Shellblast, originally released in 2007 by Vertigo Games for the PC, is currently being ported to the Xbox 360 by us here at Optum. It will be distributed through the Community Games Service.
The puzzle game is a sequel to Vertigo Games’ titles Acidbomb (voted 1up.com’s Best 101 Free Games and Gamespy’s “Download This” pick of December ‘07) and Acidbomb 2:Rearmed. It has been described as ‘a cross between Minesweeper and Picross’ and offers a unique playing experience not found in most puzzle games.
As well as taking the highly applauded gameplay from the PC version, this update will feature new HD graphics, visual effects, customisable skins and a medal system for added replay value.
The estimated release date is April 2009, with no price point currently confirmed.
