iOS Game Watch: Another World, Bumpin, Escape Apple
BulkyPix, in conjunction with Eric Chahi and developer DotEmu, have released Another World: 20th Anniversary for iOS. If you’ve never heard of it before don’t worry, neither have we…for which we are eternally saddened. Just looking at the trailer is enough to see why this highly cinematic platformer received so many awards back in the early 90′s. Follow physicist Lester Chaykin as he travels inadvertently to an alien planet and attempts to survive the hostilities within. The game is available for iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad for $4.99, with the ability to play with upgraded graphics or the originals.
Dataplayed has released Bumpin, an interesting arcade mashup of peggle and pinball. You have to guide the ball into the correct spot by drawing lines that the ball bounces off of, and using the bumpers available to move it forward. The screens don’t do the game justice, so be sure to look at the trailer to get a good idea of gameplay. You can download Bumpin for iPhone for $0.99.
Escape Apple by Kazaf Studio is a cute physics puzzler wherein you try to protect the apples from the fierce rays of the sun by dropping items from the sky that will help deflect the rays. The trailer shows rather juvenile graphics but some pretty decent puzzles to deal with. You can download the game for $0.99 for iPhone.
