Red Rocket Games Releases Special
MEVO & THE GROOVERIDERS on Valve’s Steam

First Downloadable Music/Rhythm
Platform Game for the Casual PC Market Includes "Left 4 Dead" Characters

Red Rocket Games today announced
that its debut game, MEVO & THE GROOVERIDERS, is available for download on
Valve’s Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games
and digital content with over 15 million accounts worldwide. MEVO is a
synchronized music/rhythm platform game for the casual PC game market. The Steam
version of MEVO & THE GROOVERIDERS also includes the “Left 4 Dead” characters
Bill, Louis, Francis, Zoey, and the Hunter from Valve’s hit game. MEVO & THE
GROOVERIDERS can be downloaded on Steam’s website or at
www.MevoWorld.com.

In the game, MEVO, the main
character, has to reunite his band, the Grooveriders, bring ‘FUNK’ back to the
universe and defeat the enemy SILENCE. To move MEVO through the game’s five
beautifully crafted worlds (Ocean, Jungle, Desert, Space and Wormhole), players
must tap 2 keys to the rhythm of the game’s music as it is played and displayed
in the game with arrows. All tracks are original, produced in-house with live
musicians, and feature a unique and playful retro-funky style that varies from
organic to electronic tracks.

As the game progresses, the beat
sequences become more complex, evolving from basic single beats to rapid beats,
combinations, sequences and long-hold sustains with breaks. By successfully
completing the levels, players can access new areas and songs, or be rewarded
with in-game items, such as avatar pieces that are needed to activate power-ups.
Power-ups include slow mo, shield up, “perfect boost” scoring, and autopilot. No
matter what skill level, players are rewarded with avatars, dance packs and
badges to help progress through the game. Even though the game is accessible and
easy to play for all levels of players, advanced players will be challenged with
the game’s multiple layers of game play, including hidden levels, power-ups,
badges and dance packs.

“MEVO & THE GROOVERIDERS offers all
levels of players from adults to kids a fun experience that incorporates great
music, beautiful art and very accessible yet challenging gameplay,” said Jung
Suh, CEO of Red Rocket Games. “We know that all gamers from hardcore to casual
will appreciate the customizable experience and great replayability that offers
them a new experience each time they play.”

Other Key MEVO Features:

  • Personalization – Players can
    personalize their MEVO with 17 body sets, 23 headsets and 6 dance sets,
    including customized avatars and costumes, such as Ninjas, British Dandy,
    Reindeers, Pumpkins, and more. Some avatar pieces/sets even have additional
    power-ups associated with them, such as score multipliers or invincibility.

  • Great replayability – Players can
    replay the game with many variables, including trying to acquire different
    badges, achieving perfect play through, experiencing all of the alternate
    endings, or finding all the power-ups, avatars and dance packs throughout the
    levels. The game will also be updated directly through patches, unlike other
    casual games.
