Tilt to Live devs return to iOS with accessible turn-based strategy in Outwitters

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:30:00 +0000

One Man Left is the two-person studio behind the very popular 2010 iOS release Tilt to Live — and that’s all the two developers have ever released so far. Alex Okafor and Adam Stewart are finally ready, however, to show off their brand new title, and I got to play with it briefly last week at GDC. The game is called Outwitters, and it’s a strong right turn from the arcade frenzy action of Tilt to Live

temp — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:30:00 +0000

Imangi Studios’ Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova have been making solid games on iOS for years now, from their original hit Harbor Master and their charming dual-stick shooter Max Adventure. But it wasn’t until Temple Run this past year (which I first saw in an off-the-record prototype form at GDC last year) that Imangi really hit it big

Tether for iPhone returns as an HTML5 app

Last year, iTether hit the App Store and was promptly pulled when Apple discovered it let customers share their phone’s mobile broadband connection without paying for a carrier tethering plan. After a few months of inactivity, Tether is now back as an HTML5 app. The new HTML5 version of Tether creates a wireless connection using an ad-hoc network

Hothead Games looks for a Big Win on iOS

temp — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:30:00 +0000

Hothead Games is actually an old company by most iOS standards: As marketing director Oliver Birch told me at GDC last week, the company is actually turning six years old this week. Previously, they mostly made PC and console games (most notably the Penny Arcade Adventures, and Ron Gilbert’s Deathspank), but recently, Hothead has been pushing more and more towards Apple’s App Store, and Birch says that while Hothead definitely “supports all of the games we’ve got out there, really, we’re all about mobile now.” Which makes sense — between the collectible card game Kard Combat, Jetpack Joyride-alike Sea Stars, and the excellent Gem King (formerly known as Kickin’ Momma ), Hothead already has a nice run of iOS hits
