Patrick Murphy, CEO of Open Emotion Studios, announces that Mad Blocker Alpha (Revenge of The Fluzzles) will be ported to the PSP this Winter 2010. This will be the first mini being developed by the said studio. Here is their official statement,
The game is a re-thinking and expansion of the company’s first flash game, Mad Blocker. In Mad Blocker, we were limited with the amount of things we could implement in flash. We had ideas for much crazier blocks, special powers, multiple hi-res backgrounds, Animations and high quality sound. The PSP Minis platform gives us a chance to make the Mad Blocker game we initially conceived, however there will be some big revisions to the gameplay and of course the visuals will be overhauled too.
Mad Blocker Alpha: ROTF is a match 3 game/ block type game that will have twice as many block types from its flash game origin. You can click here to play the flash game. We’ll wait for the in-game screenshots/gameplay videos of this game before we could set our expectations.

Sanuk Games announced on their Facebook page that their next Mini, Actual Crimes: Jack the Ripper is scheduled to be released on Sept 1st in Europe with a price of €3.99. It’s a hidden object game, and while the PC version got pretty good reviews, it will be interesting to see how they’ve translated it to the Mini platform. Past attempts from other companies at translating hidden object games from other companies to the platform have been less than ideal, but Sanuk has shown they are pretty good at porting to the PSP.
