Nemesys Team Studio has announced the release of Fortix for the PC and PSP as a mini through the Playstation Network. The game is a remake of Qix, the popular 80′s arcade title, featuring “new enemy’s, catapults and power-ups, a beautiful fantasy setting and online scoreboards.”
In the strategy game the player attempts to fence off his enemies into corners and then attack. The full game goes for $5 and can be downloaded on the official site for the game. A demo is available there and on GamersHell as well.
Sony recently released their brand new PSP Go system, a mild upgrade from the PSP 3000 that features downloadable only games, including the new “Mini” platform for smaller titles (less than 100mb each). My first thought upon hearing about this new service was that it would be perfect for indie developers who are just looking for a different place to distribute their game. I mean, after all, who wouldn’t want to create a portable game? Plenty of indie devs make games for the PC and Xbox Live’s Indie Games section, so it may seem to help you stand out from the pack a little bit if you were able to get your game onto Sony’s popular handheld system.
Unfortunately, it’s just not that easy…
