Ambrosia Releases Aquaria, the Epic Underwater Fantasy Game

14 Nov 2008

Ambrosia Software has taken to the seas and released Aquaria for the Macintosh, an epic 2D, side-scrolling underwater adventure game offering puzzles, exploration, and combat. Drop-dead gorgeous to look at and edge-of-your-seat exciting to play, Aquaria is packed with creativity, action, and innovation.

Aquaria is centered around Naija, an undersea dweller seemingly alone in a vast ocean world teeming with life - some friendly, some not. Players seek to unlock the myriad secrets that comprise Naija's past while defeating or outwitting the various ancient and powerful creatures she encounters in the azure depths of Aquaria.

As players navigate through Aquaria's richly textured surroundings, they learn that one of Naija's gifts is that of "The Verse," the ability to sing combinations of musical notes to invoke her latent abilities. At first defensive, Naija's songs later give her ability to transform herself for combat, stealth, speed, and more, assuming players can survive the perils of the deep.

There are dozens of areas to explore containing new dangers and opportunities. Naija develops more skills and makes new discoveries about her past, often leading only to more questions...

The player easily adapts to the game's innovative mouse-only style of navigation, so that when the time comes to defend and attack, Naija is swift, agile, and her opponents are in for a world of hurt.

But the creatures lurking in Aquaria's depths have been there for a long, long time.

Aquaria comes with a custom level and animation editor, allowing technical gamers to modify game play and share information on the developer's thriving wiki and online forums.

Developer and composer Alec Holowka and illustrator and developer Derek Yu comprise Bit-Blot, LLC, Aquaria's two-man development team.

The PC version has won multiple honors in the gaming community, including the prestigious Seumas McNally Grand Prize for Best Independent Game at the Independent Games Festival in 2007.

Aquaria for Macintosh is available today for $30 from Ambrosia's online store, with a 30-day free trial version available for immediate download.
