Xbox version also available.

Overloaded announced in conjunction with Playlogic that they have developed the mobile phone version Playlogic’s Xbox game XYANIDE. Just like its bigger brother version, this too will be an exciting 3D Shoot-em-up.

Overloaded have used the Xbox as their template in the development of the mobile phone version, it also will run in real-time with outstanding 3D landscapes, that capture the essence of it’s bigger brother, although this will be 100% mobile.

“We feel that we have captured the 3D experience of the Xbox version and made this game just as exciting”, says, Ashu Mathura, Managing Director of Overloaded, “and this is just the beginning, like with the development of the 3D cards and its transformation of the game development, with our N-Gine3D technology, we can target the new cell-phone mobile with its accelerated 3D graphic chipsets and make every opportunity ours”

Story

In the game you play Drake who is a star fighter pilot escorting an execution craft on a dangerous mission. The witch Auira, destroyer of worlds and civilizations, has been condemned by the Judges of Mardar. Her punishment is death by disintegration; she’ll be catapulted into a black hole.

On route an asteroid containing XYANIDE, a substance that materialise thoughts, hits the execution craft. Hostile worlds immediately form between the two ships, and Drake realizes Xyanide gives Auira the perfect chance to escape.

Alone and under attack, you must battle through a series of surreal nightmares. Survival depends on how well you fly and how quickly you kill. Your fighter is legendary for its ability to adapt to wildly different environments, organic or mechanical, but the relentless enemy means technology doesn’t count for nothing.
