Data Design Interactive Gets "Pets R US"Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 @ 06:24:19 pm E.S.T
Data Design Interactive would like to announce they have signed a joint
partnership deal with Rolf C. hagen Inc., the worlds largest and privately
run pet accessory manufacturer and distributor, to produce a computer game
to be released on the Sony Playstation 2 and PC. The game will be based on
Hagen's best selling Habitrail brand, which makes exciting habitats,
accessories, bedding and food for the small animal market, such as the new
Habitrail Playground range which provides a fun adventurous environment for
your pet.
The game is based on Habitrail's own Character 'Herbie the Hamster'. You
have to navigate Herbie safely around the house inside his plastic exercise
ball. There are four lavishly designed environments including a kid's
bedroom, the kitchen, the garden and even the attic! Each of these
environments has cleverly designed puzzles and difficulties, so you must be
on your guard to successfully direct Herbie to the end of each level and win
the prize of his favourite Living World hamster food. However do not worry,
Herbie is never injured or goes hungry for too long!
The levels in each environment gets progressively harder with combinations
of challenging puzzles, tight cornering and moving obstacles that require
either skilfull avoidance or clever manipulation by Herbie to reach new
sections of the level. There are even 5 easier levels for junior players as
well as a 'Beginner' and 'Expert' mode for those with nimble fingers!
