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.

We've got some news for you — Fishdom is now available on Facebook. It means that from now on you can share the fun of Fishdom with your friends. Today I sat down with Evgeny Makhov, the project's manager, to get a scoop on Fishdom for Facebook. Read on to learn what makes social Fishdom so special. How will the Facebook version of the game be different from the regular version? Well, it’s the social part that is the main difference, though funny it may sound :).

Nevertheless, we took a look at The Settlers, Blue Byte's long-running series, and felt inspired. We thought: "Why not? Let's create our own version of a fun, casual strategy game." When the idea first struck us, we could not have imagined that it would take us over 16 months of development to this point and seven revisions of the game mechanics to a… contact@playrix.com (Playrix Entertainment) Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.playrix.com/blog/2010/02/19/1/ http://www.playrix.com/press/2010-07-08.html Playrix Entertainment offers Mac and PC gamers a limited-time 50% off discount on all hit games to celebrate Video Games Day Vologda - July 08, 2010 - Playrix Entertainment, developer and publisher of Fishdom, Call of Atlantis, Gardenscapes, 4 Elements and other casual games, announces a 50% off sale on all hit Playrix games to celebrate Video Games Day.

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.

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.

That's exactly the way I felt while playing Gardenscapes, a new hidden object game from Playrix Entertainment that sports top notch presentation, great art, and game design that kept me perpetually wanting to play just one more puzzle.
