Spb Software House Releases a New Concept Pocket PC Game - Spb AirIslands

January 31, 2006 - Spb Software House releases Spb AirIslands - a new Pocket PC game based on a unique concept. This game is a combination of a real-time strategy game where you have to build a colony on an isolated island, and a set of mini-games.

The 3 included mini-games are used to earn resources you can use later to develop your island. This unique concept allows Spb AirIslands to combine all the benefits of a desktop strategy game with all necessary attributes of a funny Pocket PC game. It submerges you into a unique world of an isolated island with its own history, rules, success strategy and spectacular story line. And, at the same time, you can always play one of the three mini-games when you have 5-10 minutes of spare time (for example standing in a line), thus earning resources for the big game.

Amazing qVGA and VGA graphics, fantastic sound, hundreds hours of gameplay, and a game community website make playing Spb AirIslands an experience you don't want to miss.

----------------------------

Spb AirIslands was developed with a Pocket PC playing scenario in mind. Games developed for a desktop PC differ significantly from those for Pocket PC. Desktop games are usually designed to be played for hours, immersing players into the game world, unlike Pocket PC games which we play when we have a free minute or two.

Spb AirIslands is precisely the game for playing on Pocket PC but it also features all the power and benefits of a typical PC strategy game. The game has its own atmosphere. You are in the middle of a situation when the good old world is destroyed and broken into a number of isolated islands. Your task is not only to survive on such an island, but to colonize, build, and develop it, taking into account different factors that influence the hard colonist's life. If you manage to bring prosperity on your single island, you can try to repair the whole world!

On one hand, you play a game that spans many days, trying to find the best strategy, satisfy the inhabitants' needs, gradually build up necessary buildings, and so on. On the other hand, you can always play a mini-game just for fun, but this fun will also allow you to earn resources for the big game.

* Spb Xonix II allows you to earn wood. 30 levels with increasing difficulty, 5 types of monsters, different bonuses and spectacular graphics and effects.

* Spb Arkaball II is game for getting much fun and earning bricks. 50 levels, 18 types of items.

* Playing Spb Bubbles will bring you water for your island. It has simple rules but it's very addictive. 30 levels and 3 levels of complexity, standard and puzzle modes.

On the Spb AirIslands website will find more detailed information on the game, find out the game story line and join the game community. This site allows you to publish your highscores and compete with other users.

This looks great! I am downloading the demo now :)

- also looks Newsworthy to me ;)

kulnet

Chris gave the heads up as well but thanks so much!

Has anyone who's been playing the demo have anything to say about it? A mini-review, perhaps?

I downloaded and installed the demo last night, but with school and work keeping me as busy as they are, I haven't had a change to look at it at all.

I really like it, though I have yet to complete an island in less than 50 days. Two thumbs up from The Lone Gamer :approve: :approve:

I downloaded this tonight and was hoping to give it a try, but I don't seem to be able to free up enough memory for it. Looking for posts now on how to fix that... been so long since memory was an issue!

Cheryl

That's definately a concern with this game - it requires a lot of memory. When you are trying to earn your resources (playing the mini games) just play the games outside of AirIslands. The totals are automatically imported into the game when you start it again.

Rishad

AirIslands is updated to 1.1 now.. wonder what they fixed..

I have just upgraded to 1.1 last week...the main difference I can tell is that loading time is faster. The game loads faster and the game has smoother transitions. I used to get skips when I play bricks to earn bricks...but it feels smoother now. Other than that...it is still the great game it has always been.

Cheryl

I just installed the update myself - haven't had time to personally test it, but I've heard that it is easier to earn wood playing Xonix II. I hope that's true because I am getting so tired of that game.. :p
