Marketing : 2018-02-07 SAMSARA FOR XBOX ONE, WINDOWS 10 AND PC / MAC LAUNCHED TODAY

TMG agency Marker creates multi-dimensional puzzle game featuring Zee

The Marketing Group plc ('TMG') agency Marker, announces the release of Samsara for Xbox One and Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store, for macOS on the App Store and for either PC or Mac via Steam, priced at US$14.99. Mobile versions for iOS and Android will follow at a later date.

Auckland, New Zealand-based Marker is a veteran development studio with over 75 games under its belt, including major contract titles such as Disney's puzzler Crash, Boom, Ham! and its own properties such as popular word game AlphaJax. Samsara is its latest original release.

Samsara is a reflective puzzle game in which players guide an innocent child, Zee, safely to the exit by dropping blocks with different shapes and properties into a world of two dimensions, separated by a pool that mirrors placements. Deceptively simple mechanics conceal complex interactions involving positioning, pathfinding, gravity, balance, redirection and teleportation, with Samsara's significant twist: everything added in the upside down world of Zee's mysterious shadow below reflects in the world above.

'We're over the moon to ship a game which has been such a labor of love for us all,' says Alex Humphries, Senior Producer. 'We're pleased with the way it's shaped up on every platform and hope players have as much fun solving the puzzles as we had creating them.'

Samsara features 77 levels across 6 hand-detailed realms, each with hidden 'Easter Eggs' to uncover, and is hand-crafted by a team of experienced developers in New Zealand.
