Neon Mania updated to version 1.5, adds multiplayer and user level creation
Celebrated Polish game developer Vivid Games is proud to announce the release of version 1.5 of its smash hit iPhone, iPod touch and iPad light-tracing game, Neon Mania. This latest update delivers a host of exciting new features that vastly expand the game’s scope.
“Over the last few months we’ve worked hard to bring loads of new level packs to Neon Mania,” explains Vivid Games president Remigiusz Koscielny, but in version 1.5 we wanted to add more than new levels, so we’ve built on Neon Mania’s creative groundwork to offer a platform that players can use to develop their own playable art.”
The new Draw Mode in Neon Mania allows players to create their own fluorescent shapes, and light them up in fully customized levels. This creative addition to Neon Mania 1.5 is accompanied by a competitive new edge in the two player head-to-head mode, which pits finger-painting illumination engineers against each other on the same device, on the same screen, and at the same time.
“Neon Mania has become incredibly popular thanks to its relaxing, chill-out gameplay,” says designer Bartosz Biniecki, “but because version 1.5 is adding such significant new functionality to the game, we also wanted a more competitive, electrifying game mode to counterbalance Neon Mania’s tranquil nature.”
New achievements have also been added to Neon Mania’s existing social gaming roster, and a variety of additional options are available through an in-app purchase system.
To celebrate the launch of the free 1.5 update, Vivid Games is teaming up with the popular Free App A Day service on 6th August 2011 to offer the universal iOS game for free over the 24-hour period.
Neon Mania is available on the App Store priced at $0.99 / €0.79 / £0.59 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and at $2.99 / €2.39 / £1.79 on the Mac. Version 1.5 will be delivered to existing users free of charge on 3rd August 2011 through the iTunes App Store.
