Do some Platform on ShootMania!

With the recent release of Maniaplanet 3 and the Universal Demo, you can now easily download and play for free to a great diversity of experiences.

For both Trackmania 2 and Shootmania, creators or players can easily share a setup to any player to install their favorite title. These titles can include new or customized maps, weapons, effects, moods, sounds, textures, gamemodes, map editor tools, ladder, replay editing, rankings etc.

And to showcase some of these new features, we are releasing a sample gamemode for Shootmania, called Platform. Platform, still in beta, is a mode where you must gather all the fuel and gold as quickly as possible by using your dexterity and skill to get the highest score. It has been designed to get you familiar with the various moves of Shootmania Storm in a simple solo experience before going online for battles on other titles of the same Universal Demo.

Hello everyone,

Ever wanted to drive improbable tracks, making maneuvers from heights and speeds unimaginable… then you actually complete the track in a single run? If so, the Platform Pack  is for you!This new campaign, composed of 23 tracks will require extreme self control and skill and persistence to finish!

With a challenge this difficult, we wish to reward the first player that finishes the campaign. The challenge is simple *evil laugh*, you have to finish the last track, “Ultimate Nightmare”, without respawn (by doing a zero-fault) then to send the replay (by default “R” to save a replay) just before the finish line (or just after it), to contact@nadeo.com.

The first player to successfully send their replay and have it validated by the NADEO Live team will have it broadcast on the official ManiaPlanet YouTube channel. But that’s not all… The King (or Queen) of the Ultimate Nightmare will win a 5 Player Pack of new ShootMania Storm!Don’t delay and get the “Platform Pack” from your ManiaPlanet library for free now!

Good luck  everyone!
