Celestial Mage merchandise line hits cyber-shelves. Which runestone are you? Life's next big question to be answered.

Kissimmee, FL - September 9, 2005 - Stonewall Interactive, a premier independent game developer and publisher today unveiled their first line of merchandise based off their highly anticipated puzzle/strategy game, Celestial Mage.

"We're excited to unveil our first line of merchandise," said Rocky Jalil, President and CEO of Stonewall Interactive. "As an indie game developer, we want to continue to see the community thrive. We want to see the community to have continued success. The merchandise we created is one way for us to ensure that happens."

The merchandise line includes t-shirts, mousepads and hats based off the concept artwork of Celestial Mage and it's theme - life's next big question "which runestone are you?" Elements of the artwork will also be used in the box art for the final release of Celestial Mage.

Since the demo of Celestial Mage was released in August, Stonewall Interactive has been overrun with praise for the game and it's new spin on an aging genre, with some people calling it "the most addicting puzzle/strategy game since Tetris."

Played on a chess-like 3D board, the goal is to clear the board by moving rune stones into combinations of 3 or more; creating scrolls and casting spells to advance to the next round. Each rune stone and scroll however is limited in moves; increasing the challenge.

Celestial Mage free demo is available for Windows XP. Plans include full versions for Windows XP, Pocket PC, Linux, Macintosh System X, Dreamcast, GamePark32 and the Tapwave Zodiac.

Jason's Comments: Puzzle games are perhaps the most addicting of all the video games. I have a two games a day Tetris habit as it is.
