ATOM SMASH RELEASED

 

CHICAGO, IL, March 31, 2000 - Red Mercury, LLC, a Palm OS™ game development company, today announced the release of Atom Smash. The fast action game, reminiscent of Breakout, includes 64 levels of play, downloadable LevelPaks, and a 30 day free trial.

Atom Smash may be downloaded from the company’s website, www.red-mercury.com and other major Palm OS software sites. The full version can be purchased from Red Mercury, as well - opening up access to a Level Editor that lets users create their own LevelPaks.

"I think this is hands down the best Palm OS game available today," said Scott Corley, President of Red Mercury, in a sudden fit of hubris. "The frame rate, graphics, sound and gameplay are all top notch."

All of Red Mercury’s games fully support color as well, according to Corley. Red Mercury’s current hit, AcidFreecell, has full color support in version 1.5c, also available for free download from Red Mercury’s web site.

Snagging Eyeballs

The typical owner of a PalmPilot™ is a busy professional, constantly on the go, working long hours, and lacking any free time for television or traditional video games. Getting eyeball time from this 5 million-strong group is difficult. But this same crowd spends an hour or two a day waiting for things, in little 5 to 10 minute intervals. Waiting for the computer to reboot. Waiting for a conference call to start. Waiting for a speech to end.

Red Mercury is providing high quality entertainment for those little breaks. Corley sees these breaks as valuable opportunities for recreation. "These small delays during the day end up being the only free time some people get. It would be such a shame for that time to go to waste," said Corley.

The future for Red Mercury is bright, colorful, and connected. The full support of color devices shows Red Mercury’s commitment to staying ahead of the handheld technology curve. Corley says, "check out Atom Smash today. And keep an eye on our website for more to come."
