The need for speed with Waterslide 2
Big summer fun for iPhone and iPad with the new waterslide racing game from Fishlabs
Hamburg, Germany, 27 July 2011 –
Fishlabs, the Hamburg-based developer and publisher of award-winning games for smartphones and tablets, brings summer to the iPhone and iPad. In Waterslide 2, the makers of the 24 million download hit Waterslide Extreme present fans with a new, faster and splashier challenge.
Players can choose a male or female character or a death-defying penguin to race down 30 brand-new, gigantic waterslides through the concrete canyons of an impressive metropolis, by day or night.
The goal of the thrilling ride is to collect as many pearls as possible while avoiding the unusual obstacles. The creatures of the sea are waiting along the slide with nasty surprises. Wildly growing algae brake players and can only be removed by shaking the device vigorously, while small crabs simply reverse the controls for a short time. Mean octopuses live up to their reputation and occluding players’ view until they wipe the ink from the screen. Squidgy jellyfish, on the other hand, paralyse players for a time if they don’t dodge them fast enough.
But useful items, such as an all-sucking vortex, path-clearing bombs, invincibility shields, or fat inner tube, can also be collected and used at the right moment to optimise points to earn the hotly contested first place in the international online rankings.
Waterslide 2 offers every player – from casual gamer to hardcore racer – unconventional and exciting summer fun that challenges both their reflexes and their skill. Hardcore fans of Waterslide Extreme will also be thrilled, because Waterslide 2 offers even more of everything fun.
