Feature Game For 2004-11-22
Rocket Mania

Game developers are constantly faced with the challenge of tagging a new metaphor on a classic game. For example taking the classic Japanese crate moving game of Sokoban and changing it into a car parking game.

Today's featured game takes the classic pipeline game and re-metaphors it as fireworks igniting game, called Rocket Mania. In this game you rotate the pipe segments, excuse us, we meant to say FUSE segments so that they connect fire to fireworks in order to launch rockets. The more rockets you can launch at one time the higher your score. And as always the clock is ticking down.


The game play is identical to the old pipeline game except that you get the satisfaction of putting on a fireworks show each time you complete a fuse path. As you play you can collect coins which you can trade for better rockets and you must shoot off as many rockets as possible before the dawn's early light.

We like this game because it takes a classic game and gives it a little extra sizzle and pop.
