Aquaria

Here is a game for the PC that was released about four years ago but felt that I had to post a mini blog on it. The game is called Aquaria which was created by Alec Holowka and Derek Yu over at Bit Blot, and let me just say that this game's visuals and music score is out of this world.

If you liked and enjoyed games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or Metroid 3, then this is a game for you. Basically you play a character name Naija a mermaid-like woman, who embarks in an adventure, and during her quest she learns about the history of her world as well as her past. Naija has the ability to sing, and when a song is sung she is able to affect plants and animals, and certain songs will change her physical appearance, and can also give her the power to fire projectiles at hostile and incoming enemies.

This is a game that I highly recommend to everyone, the msuic score alone will captivate you and drag you into the world of Aquaria, and the visuals are just out of this world for a 2D game. If you would like to know more you can go over to the Bit Blot website by going here or you can head to Wikipedia to get in depth information on Aquaria. You can download the Aquaria game demo at the Bit Blot website or by clicking here, you can also purchase the full game at the Bit Blot website, and is also available on Steam. I have included a teaser trailer to the game as well as eleven minutes of gameply footage. This is a definite must have game to add to your game library.
