Chains

Montreal, Quebec, Canada – June 18, 2009 – Meridian4 ( http://www.meridian4.com) is thrilled to announce that they have signed an agreement with independent developer 2DEngine.com ( http://www.2dengine.com) to digitally distribute their challenging and addictive puzzle game; Chains.

"Working with Meridian4 is an excellent opportunity to gain the right exposure for our game which would not be possible otherwise. Most conservative casual portals would not appreciate how Chains is so expressive and different from other puzzle titles." Said Ivan Traykov, Lead Designer and Programmer at 2DEngine.com.

“We were instantly addicted to Chains the moment we played it and instead of getting no work done, we decided to sign the game so we had a legitimate reason for playing it. We also saw a great, challenging independently-developed game that needed to get exposure to a wide audience. This is one of those ‘just-one-more-level’ games that will have you playing for hours.” said Andy Sher, CEO at Meridian4.

Chains will be available in the coming weeks on most digital distribution channels. For more information, visit www.meridian4.com/games/chains/index.html
