Hockey Dash Enters Open Beta

No Comments »

OGPlanet announced Hockey Dash has entered open beta. Hockey Dash is a free to play online game that is a combination between street hockey and ice hockey. The strategy is taken from ice hockey, while the fast pace action is taken from street hockey.

Players attempt to score on their opponents by finding the weakness in their defense and getting the puck into the goal. It is easier to say than do, though, considering the game uses street hockey physics. Players have to master the movement of street hockey to be able to score on their opponents. Hockey Dash has simplified the rules of hockey so anyone can jump into the game and have fun while playing.

“OGPlanet has found success with gameplay styles that most companies don’t think are suited to online play, like Rumble Fighter,” said Sangchul Park, CEO of OGPlanet. “We think we’ve got another winner with Hockey Dash. Its fast pace and unique game mechanics make for a very high-energy, fun multiplayer experience.”

Just in time for that scary time of year, Mumbo Jumbo has announced Zombie Bowl-o-Rama. The zombies have taken over the bowling lane and they must be stopped. Never knew zombies were into bowling, but these zombies are and they are not going to give up their establishment easily. Of course the zombies are in the bowling lanes in search of brains.zombie-bowl-o-rama

Players have to bowl the zombies down with bowling balls. There are ten different bowling balls to choose from and one zombie head. Players select a ball and use it in six different lanes to combat the zombies and work their way up to the final show down. Sticking with the Halloween theme, there are tricks and treats at the players disposal to help them send the zombies back to where they came. Players have a few different tricks at their disposal, such as Werewolves, MiniCorpses and Dance Fever. The treats are ZombieNator, Meatball, ZomBees and Brain Balls.

Zombie Bowl-o-Rama is a bit different than normal bowling. Besides the obvious, players are bowling down zombies and not pins, the zombies will advance down the lane if they are missed on the first hit. Players have to be fast and accurate.
