Pinch
Pinch is an iPhone/iPod Touch game we began working on as part of a fellowship with the Institute of Digital Innovation in October 2009. The game utilises the multi-touch interface of the iPhone and iPod Touch in order to challenge the player with a variety of different scenarios.
Using these multi-touch controls, players will take control of the Norbs; tiny nanobots with the sole purpose of conquering the mazes and puzzles which make up their world. The Norbs can merge with one another by being pinched together by a player. Merging causes the Norbs to change in size and colour – a talent which will prove to be the key to their success.
The game centres on the use of the platform’s interface – specifically the method of ‘pinching’ the screen in order to merge and separate Norbs to change their size, colour and number. Users will be familiar with using this maneuver in other applications, such as Google Maps and Safari.
Pinch will be available on iTunes and Apple’s App Store from 30th April 2010. Regular updates will be made, along with optional DLC for fans. Stay tuned here, to our Facebook fan page, or to our Twitter account for more details!
