Physics-Based Puzzler 'ScribBall' Headed to the App Store
posted September 3rd, 2008 10:39 AM EDT by Blake Patterson in Puzzle, Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch games
Howling Moon Software has announced that they have almost completed the iPhone port of their Mac game ScribBall and that it should soon be appearing in the iTunes App Store.
ScribBall is an easy to pick-up puzzle game that’s packed full of exciting and addictive gameplay. Players of all skill levels will enjoy the addictive gameplay and fun hand-drawn graphics as they vie to achieve ever greater scores and awards. The game uses realistic physics, so things roll around and tumble just how you’d expect. To keep things interesting, there are a number of special balls that may explode, call in a storm to mix things up, or jump.
ScribBall on the iPhone brings all the features of the Mac original along with simple touch controls and, as the YouTube demo video illustrates, realistic physics that puts a nice spin on the "match-three-colors" formula. ScibBall fully utilizes the iPhone's accelerometer to control the tumble of on-screen balls with a side-to-side motion of the device.
Stay tuned for a closer look of the title when it lands in the App Store.
I'll wait for Circulate. Circulate Prologue looks very promising.
Piece of crap. Some indies just want to trick people and get some cash.
@Dudehuge
Feel free supporting the goliaths that are producing $10 shovelware like Tetris and threatening the indies with bogus lawsuits.
It's a trap?

Not sure how it's a trick really. May not win an award for being the most original game ever, but the physics is certainly an original twist.
It is as addictive as they say in the video. And the physics ain't bad either. It's in the app store now:

@fuzzymath
You can bitch and whine about these mega-corporations, at the end of the day those indies slapped with a lawsuit for STEALING the Tetris concept deserved it. If they have some imagination, they will make a completely original game and not the 1000th clone of a classic.
