Greetings!

Do you like hidden object adventure games? If so, then we’ve got great news for you: G5 Entertainment has released the very first hidden object game in the minis category on PlayStation Store. Welcome to The Mystery of the Crystal Portal – a fascinating adventure game that will challenge your attention and associative skills.

What makes The Mystery of the Crystal Portal special? Well, from the very beginning of the game you’re involved in an adventure. You meet the journalist Nicole Rankwist whose archaeologist father disappeared during his study of the mysterious Crystal Portal, and together with Nicole, you start your search for Mr. Rankwist.

During your quest you visit various locations around the world, and in each location you are required to find hidden objects to unlock the next scene with more puzzling tasks. The gameplay has an unusual twist which makes the difference – hidden objects in each scene are brought together in sets, and often objects of one set will be revealed only after you find all objects of another set in the same scene. These mild brain-teasers keep you excited throughout the game, so that you won’t want to put it down.

I won’t miss an opportunity to mention the game’s music and graphics. I bet that even seasoned gamers will appreciate stunning detailed panoramas that open in each scene. Add music that perfectly depicts the atmosphere of early twentieth century and get the feeling of unfolding an intriguing adventure that you’ve been waiting to get on PSP.

The game is available for €4,99/£3.99 and includes the following features:

• Full-screen graphics
• Smooth zoom in & out options
• Six thrilling countries to visit
• Unique mini-games
• Compatibility with PS3

Hi everyone!

I want to introduce a new mini game for your “classical” game collection: meet Mahjongg Artifacts, arriving on PSP tomorrow, June 9!

Mahjongg Artifacts is a beautiful and engaging classical board game that is a prequel to Mahjongg Artifacts: Chapter 2 which you probably already tried on PSP! Yes, I know – this is not typical to release the prequel after a sequel, but haven’t you ever started reading a book from the end? Both chapters of Mahjongg Artifacts have a Story Mode featuring main character’s quest for lost relics. Thus, finally you have a chance to discover how the story of the game started!

Mahjongg Artifacts features three play modes which take you through five exotic cultures: China, Greece, Egypt, Mexico and Atlantis. The Story Mode represents a captivating comic story that unfolds a mystery of lost relics as long as you master the mahjong game, which becomes more and more complicated on each level. Besides, you have exciting twists like bonuses and special tiles to enhance your winning strategies in the quest. Bonuses and powerups differ from those in Mahjongg Artifacts: Chapter 2, so the gameplay will not feel the same!

In the Classic Mode you have an opportunity to choose layouts and tile sets you want to play, and in the Endless Mode your game never ends – the tower of game pieces rises, offering you most unpredictable arrangements of tiles.

Check out the video of Mahjongg Artifacts – you’ll appreciate game’s beautiful graphics and relaxing music. Don’t miss out – the game has a wealth of options and appeal for the whole family for just 4,99 euro/£3.99.

Special game features:

• Story mode featuring 25 layouts
• Classic mode with 100 layouts
• Innovative Endless mode
• 27 gorgeous backgrounds
• Five beautifully drawn tile sets
• Music tracks inspired by ancient cultures
• Manual smooth zoom in/out and auto-zoom option
• Compatibility with PS3!

Greetings everyone!

At G5 Entertainment we are really excited to announce the release of our best-selling casual game Supermarket Mania on PSP minis! Today you’ll be able to try Supermarket Mania yourself and understand why our team is so much in love with the game and its cute characters.

Most likely you are familiar with time management, our favourite genre of casual games. We like these games because they are really easy to start playing, but become trickier with each new level; they test your attention, require quick reactions and get you involved due to their growing pace. As always, we spent a lot of time making sure the PSP controls are intuitive and smooth.

In Supermarket Mania you are challenged to help our beautiful character Nikki who is busy stocking shelves and serving customers in several supermarkets around the town. Nikki has to develop her time management skills and learn to be tough when dealing with nasty thieves, naughty teenagers and evil competitor TORG Corp., a supermarket chain run by robots. Nikki needs your help in adding that important human touch to store management, and attract most loyal customers including snobby celebrities!

Interested in the insights of the game creation process? The first version of Supermarket Mania took us around a year to produce. We aimed for very simple but addictive and fun gameplay for fans of casual gaming, and we wanted the game to be set in the supermarket. We made a number of iterations, trying different things out. In the first prototype, Nikki had to bring products to customers who were queuing at the counter, but we figured that it was rather boring and it took Nikki too long to serve everyone.

Also, customers were not mobile and lacked character because of this. In the second major iteration Nikki used a number of shop assistants responsible for bringing different goods, and they gave out the products that customers asked for at the counters. The customers were animated and started going back and forth between counters. However, this concept didn’t work well either, as the player was easily getting lost trying to control several assistants at the same time.

Eventually, we concluded that the most efficient way to run the shop in our game was like in real life – we gave customers access to all shelves in the shop, and they were free to wander around and buy whatever they wanted, while Nikki had to bring goods from the storage room and make sure that all shelves were stocked. This simple concept turned out to be a lot of fun, which you will see yourself soon!

Check out the video and preview images and grab the game – Supermarket Mania is available for just 4.99 euro in EU! We are looking forward to hearing what you think!

Game features:

• 50 challenging levels
• 5 distinct shops
• 13 diverse products
• 22 exciting accessories and upgrades
• Playable on both PSP and PS3
