Sample Atari’s Pixilated Mini-Game Mayhem Free for PSP

Following the European launch of HOT PIXEL, Atari today announced the release of a playable demo of the pixilated mini-game paradise for PSP. Available for free download now at Sony’s official home for PSP™ owners, www.yourPSP.com, the HOT PIXEL demo is the first demo from another publisher ever to be made available on the site. Bringing frantic snack-size gaming to European PSP™ gamers for the first time, HOT PIXEL features 200 riotous mini-games taking inspiration from old school gaming and the new school digital lifestyle.

In HOT PIXEL the player guides his skate geek character through an average day in his pixellated digital world, taking on a series of increasingly weird and comic quick-fire mini-games ranging from the subtly eccentric to the wildly outrageous, borrowing some choice moments from Atari’s colorful video game past along the way. Only an open mind and fingers of fire will let players conquer the hundreds of weird and wonderful scenarios.

The demo features one full episode of HOT PIXEL comprising 10 mini games and a boss battle. Weird and wonderful tasks thrown at the player include catching marshmallows, skateboard odd-one-out and staying on a diet in the face of an onslaught of hamburgers.

HOT PIXEL will be available in the US this fall, for more information visit http://www.atari.com/.
