You know I was afraid this was going to be simply another random puzzle game, but it looks a bit interesting, I must say.

Like Hexic meets Pipe Dream. Plus it's quite stylish looking.

AdrianMorales · 04-13-2009, 07:41 AM

Games just keep coming. Awesome! Hope you guys release a demo of it

PS: This also seems like a perfect fit for WiiWare and DSiWare.

At least we will have the XBLA trial.

PersonaFan · 04-13-2009, 08:03 AM

Looks interesting.

PersonaFan · 04-13-2009, 08:08 AM

Wait, I can play it on Ps2?

Delition · 04-13-2009, 08:12 AM

Why, oh why?

Not that I won't be getting this game, as it does look fun, but I'm probably only going to pick this one up on one platform, as the gameplay will most likely be identical as opposed to the previous Wii / PS2 multi-platform titles released.

Any idea on price?

Looks sweet. I'll probably pick this up for Xbox 360.

I'm pretty most people will, just because of the Achievement points.

Birdpoopman · 04-13-2009, 11:18 AM

I'll definitely give this game a shot.

Ah, IC wut I did there. I didn't mean to imply anything insulting. This new Atlus-BurgerKing connection just made me laugh a bit, so I wanted to share.

LiquidPhire · 04-13-2009, 11:23 AM

does that mean we will get spoiled with cheeseburgers?

exciting!

toythatkills · 04-13-2009, 11:41 AM

This'll be out in all regions on XBLA, right? You're not gonna shun Europe because you don't have a presence there, are you?

Eew, I hope not.

What? Oh, with. Still, I doubt you'd want a pre-ordered cheeseburger.

Yeah... I was wondering why this was announced for pretty much everything other than WiiWare, but that's because I forgot about DSiWare. And for me, sorry, but no WiiWare means no sale.

jeffx · 04-13-2009, 01:55 PM

Well for the Wii you could always get Octomania... which Atlus distributed.

I'm no graphical expert/whore but I'd say the current screenshots indicate that the game was made with HD resolution in mind. 'course that didn't stop Geometry Wars from defecting.

What no trophies? I believe Sony requires any title released in 2009 and beyond to have trophies.

They do, but I think it was meant that he's already committed to Live Achievements. Trophies did come a bit late. I'll be getting the PS3 version, unless it's on Steam

I was just saying that people seem to like Gamerscore/Achievements better, mainly because they came out first.

Will this game be available for all iPhones, or just the 3G?

NullPointer · 05-13-2009, 07:57 AM

It will be available on all versions of iPod Touch and iPhone.

Candle Jack · 05-19-2009, 05:43 PM

Actually looks like a nice time waster.

LordGek · 05-20-2009, 06:32 AM

You might want to fix the current little placeholder tag which reads,

"Droplitz site goes live

Check back for updates on release dates"

Which sounds like you're saying check back on the release date which, of course, isn't listed anywhere. Clearly "or" needs to be replaced by "and".

SlaughterX · 06-22-2009, 03:14 PM

It's great that you all are finally distributing something digitally. Unfortuantely, jsut like with all the past games that you all have published on the 360, I have absolutely no interest in it.

I still hope this means you all will try to take it further and release more interesting games on XBLA and PSN...

jeffx · 06-22-2009, 04:50 PM

Surprised Atlus didn't get Snoop Dogg to endorse this game.

Kamiyama01 · 06-26-2009, 08:27 AM

I got it. Its kind of fun, I unlocked the second mode last night, "zendroplitz" or something like that. It was just 10 bucks, and I figured I could support Atlus by getting it.

Now bring us more games!!! >:3

@ Pibbman - It has trophies, 12 I think in total. I got like 3 in less than 2 hours of playing.

Exportforce · 06-27-2009, 08:38 AM

Since I am not allowed to post new threads (thats really great if you try to submit a problem, really -.-) I'll post it here.

This happens as soon as I click when the logo "Droplitz" appears and the small balls come in screen.

edit: Before the standards come
I did use the Verfiy Integritystuff, reinstalled, etc.

This is as far as I get.
When I click the mouse, the title goes to the left and then it crashes
