 SouthPeak Games announced early last week that their brand new adventure-puzzle title Mister Slime had arrived on store shelves.    

The DS title features the titular character Mister Slime, also referred to as Slimey, who is tasked with bringing peace to the warring inhabitants of the planet, the Slimes and the Axons. Players navigate through levels by using the touch screen to stretch Slimey's arms and grab hold of a variety of anchor points, and swimming and floating is controlled by blowing into the microphone.    

Mister Slime is available in stores with an ESRB rating of E for Everyone and at the MSRP value price of $19.99.    

SOUTHPEAK GAMES ANNOUNCES MISTER SLIME AVAILABLE NOW    

Innovative Handheld Title Stretches into North American Retailers    

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – July 23, 2008 - SouthPeak Games today announced that Mister Slime for Nintendo DS™ is available now on retail shelves in North America. The revolutionary adventure puzzler is rated "E" for everyone.    

Tucked away in the deepest, darkest corner of the universe lies a seemingly peaceful world inhabited by strange and fascinating creatures. The Slimes and the Axons are the chief inhabitants of the planet, and they have brought chaos to the planet with constant bickering over the limited resources available to them. Every 40 years there are ritual battles held to redefine the territorial boundaries for each clan. No one, Axon or Slime, has had the courage to step up and stop this viscous cycle - until now.    

Players enter the world as Slimey, a young slime determined to stop the violence between the warring clans. Using the touch screen and microphone capabilities of Nintendo DS, players must navigate the levels by stretching and manipulating Slimey’s arms to grab hold of small anchor points scattered throughout each level.    

Mister Slime is available at an MSRP of $19.99. For more information, please visit www.southpeakgames.com.

American Mister Slime looks pissed ... I think the European Mister Slime might be retarded.

Well, there's the "jr." bit on the euro box...

This is reminiscent of Kirby box art.  Everyone seems to think every character needs a 'tude to sell in the U.S.

U.S. kids have bad 'tudes.
