Auditorium

Cipher Prime's musical puzzle platformer to get a PSN and XBLA release via Zoo.

Cincinnati, Ohio – Sept. 29, 2010 – Video game publisher Zoo Entertainment, Inc (NASDAQ: ZOOG) today announced plans to release the award-winning music puzzle game, Auditorium, on November 2, 2010 for the PlayStation Network and Xbox 360 ® Live Arcade. Based on the popular online flash game from developer Cipher Prime, Auditorium is a captivating game of discovery and play that takes players on a visual and audio journey. Players will manipulate a constant stream of tiny moving light and sound particles as they guide their flow into Audio Containers to create harmony and unleash an orchestrated soundtrack.

A fascinating sensory experience, Auditorium seamlessly mixes audio and graphics with creative and challenging gameplay. Players will explore and use their intuition as they come across obstacles that can help or hinder their gameplay depending on how they choose to manipulate the light and sound particles. In the game, players can also change the speed and direction of particles they encounter to create musical harmony while various controls allow players to modify trajectory and timing, and control acceleration of the flow to quickly fill containers and create a symphonic masterpiece.

Auditorium was originally introduced as an online game and discovered through indiePub Games, a community of independent video game developers, as part of an indie game development competition. Zoo Games will be introducing it as downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles this fall.

Auditorium is rated “E” for Everyone and will be available on November 2, 2010 for the PlayStation Network and on Xbox Live Arcade for $9.99. For more information and press assets, please visit: http://bhimpact.gamespress.com/client_page.asp?i=182
