A lot of our fans have been wondering how things are going with the sequel to one of our most beloved titles, 4 Elements. Well, the game is still in the works, and we decided it's time to let you all backstage on it. The focus of the sequel's story is on saving the four fairies of the elements (Earth, Water, Fire and Air) trapped in the Book of Magic and deprived of their power by a careless charm. In general, compared to the flags… contact@playrix.com (Playrix Entertainment) Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.playrix.com/blog/2010/07/08/1/ http://www.playrix.com/blog/2010/05/20/1/ Mikhail Bystretsky, Localizations and Porting Manager at Playrix shares thoughts on creating first internally developed iPhone application based on an established casual downloadable hit.

In our constant quest for freshness and originality we are often quick to dismiss games that simply toe the line. But sometimes games that don’t innovate or otherwise alter a proven formula can prove enormously entertaining. Such is the case with Fishdom 2, Playrix’s sequel to its popular aquatic-themed match-three game Fishdom. There is very little about the experience that can properly … contact@playrix.com (Playrix Entertainment) Thu, 27 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.playrix.com/press/review-fishdom-2.html http://www.playrix.com/press/review-royal-envoy.html April 8, 2010 by Chad Sapieha It turns out the best way to make sure you're looked after in times of need is to supply your country's leader with swanky shoes.

Both games were well-received by players, but match-3 fans will be happy to know that Fishdom: Spooky Splash has gone back to its match-3 roots. Like the first Fishdom, Spooky Splash has you swapping tiles and earning cash to decorate Halloween-themed fish tanks.

As an added bonus, it’s also proof positive that a little time and effort is all it takes to reinvent nearly any adventure in the eyes of even the most jaded critics, much to our delight and surprise.
