LANGHORNE, Pa., June 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casual games publisher and developer eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EGAM) announced a publishing agreement with Viqua Games today to distribute First Class Flurry to retail stores this fall. One of the highest rated time management games last year by popular review site Gamezebo.com, First Class Flurry was among the top selling titles in its genre for 2008.
"With its proven success online, First Class Flurry anchors our time management offering going into the second half of the year," said eGames Vice President, Sales and Marketing Rich Siporin. "The game's unique flight attendant theme should offer a breath of fresh air for casual game retailers later this fall."
In First Class Flurry, players help flight attendant Claire cater to the needs of an eclectic collection of passengers on a wide range of domestic and international flights. Rated 4 1/2 out of 5 stars on Gamezebo, First Class Flurry challenges players to prepare and serve food and drinks, track down lost PDAs and wandering children, seat everyone during unexpected turbulence, and more. With 50 frantic levels and five flight classes to master, the game provides ample opportunities for would-be attendants to earn their wings at 30,000 feet.
"We had tons of fun developing First Class Flurry and are thrilled that our efforts will reach even more players through eGames' extensive retail distribution channels," said Viqua Games Executive Producer Chanon Sajjamanochai. "The game has been extremely well received by critics and players online and we look forward to seeing that continue in retail."
