    While plenty of you are still wrapped up in Sentinel 2: Earth Defense, here's something a little different from us at Origin8. Not an alien in sight! We couldn't bring ourselves to leave out the explosions, though...

    Car Mania has been in submission for a couple of days now, so expect it soon at the $0.99/£0.59 price point. We'll have a gameplay video for you as soon as our art guy isn't drowning under [classified]; in the mean time, here's a couple of shots of explosions that didn't make it onto our website. Enjoy!

    Edit: video's out!

    I've been playing Car Mania, and it's really fun casual game. It's a nicely produced game that should appeal to people.

    Looks similar to the delivery missions in Fruit Juice Tycoon. Is it like that at all?

    I just played it today and it is really addictive. From what it seems, it's like Flight Control (I think. I've never actually played that game).

    Oh my GOD. That looks amazing. Origin8 is coming to a close tie with Cobra Mobile as my favorite developer team =D

    Give my personal kudos to your musical genius Origin8... First Sentinel's epic theme, then this catchy tune really get me into playing games :D

    That looks like a really hard, but fun, game. Keep up the momentum, Origin8. You've got the communities attention with your Sentinel titles, let us see what else you're capable of.

    yes, it's starts out a little slow, and you're thinking, "ha, this is easy" and then suddenly you'll find you've missed guiding a car or a crash occurs, and pretty soon you are trying to manage the chaos as quickly as possible

    lots of fun, yes, and that tune is very nice and catchy

    I got really stoked when I saw the train coming through smashing all of the cars. It caught me off guard and I think it will be a fun hazard to try and avoid. Best of luck with launch :D
