Game Features:

George Lucas has said that the pit droids were his favorite Episode I
characters. With their Keystone cops-like antics, the little mechanical
jesters are admittedly hard to resist. And now they are about to step into
the limelight with their own game.
Looming over Tatooine in a transport ship is the largest shipment of these
pit droids that Watto, the Toydarian junk dealer, has ever purchased. Watto
was hoping to sell the droids for various uses on Tatooine. Unfortunately,
it turns out that these pit droids are only good at one thing -- fixing
Podracers. Waiting idly in their ship, the pit droids have already caused
more damage than even Watto's star mechanic, Anakin Skywalker, could
possibly repair. Desperate, Watto begs the player's assistance in moving
these mindless mechanicals from their transport ship to the Podrace Arena
where their energies can be put to good use.
Players have to direct the pit droids through eight locations on Tatooine
as they wind their way from the Transport Ship through Watto's Shop and
Junkyard, the sweltering deserts of Hutt Flats, the mazes of the Mos Espa
marketplace, and ultimately to the Podrace Arena. Each time a new location
is reached, the player is rewarded with a high-resolution movie
showcasing the earnest, but hapless pit droids in all of their hilarious
glory.
As C-3PO's guided tour indicates, the game is simple to learn: use an
inventory of arrows to guide the pit droids from their launcher to their
goals. As the levels get tougher, pit droids gain attributes, acquiring
colors and tools which are affected by specific tiles. Multiple goals add
to the fun and challenge of over 300 puzzles and three difficulty
settings, and a high score list lets players compare their results with
each other.
The game also includes a Puzzle Maker feature, allowing players to create
their own Pit Droids puzzles to play and exchange with others. Puzzle
builders can stage their creations in any of the featured Tatooine
locations, and utilize any of the pieces and tiles found in the game to
create their own mind-twisters. Easy to use, Puzzle Maker enables players
to build a puzzle in a flash and test it out on the spot. The resulting
puzzle files are around 30K, making them easy to e-mail to friends.
www.starwars.com will host an online puzzle exchange area where puzzles can
be uploaded and downloaded.
The graphics are detailed and beautiful, with three zoom-in levels that let
you go from a puzzle overview to the bolts on the pit droids. Over a dozen
original music tracks synch up with zany sound effects as the droids march
through puzzles, creating a rhythmic, constantly evolving soundtrack that
accompanies the little droids' progression towards victory -- or
the scrap yard.
