Lighthouse Interactive and Prague based developer 7FX has announced that their logical/puzzle game for PC 'Loco Mania', has reached gold status and will begin shipping throughout Europe on February 24th, 2006.
Loco Mania
is a unique, fast moving, logical strategy game that puts you in charge of managing an entire railway network. Players have to control switches, semaphores and train directions to get the trains through the system as quickly and efficiently as possible. Each level will put players through a multitude of tasks from getting trains to their destination on time to guiding trains with hazard laden cargo safely home. Successfully clearing the trains through the railway system improves the players score and unlocks maps to take the game through progressively challenging levels. Loco Mania will feature 12 maps each inspired by various European landscapes designed to provide a unique gameplay experience. Gameplay modes include Time Attack, Check Point and Free Run. The faster you complete the challenges the higher you score. So stay on Track!
Vladimir Sedivy, CEO of 7FX said: "Loco Mania is great fun to play and we had a great time developing it." He went on to say: "We have also been delighted by the cooperation with the experienced team of Lighthouse Interactive. It made such a big difference in the development process and it shows in the quality of the final product."
Loco Mania is published in English, German, French and Spanish. Further localized versions, such as Polish, are currently in development.
