Shape-matching Puzzler ‘Spin’ Coming Soon

Secret Exit, who you may remeber from our preview of the upcoming surreal puzzle game Zen Bound, will soon be releasing Spin for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Spin is a game that challenges shape recognition, one of the fastest mechanisms of the human brain. There are three game modes, unlockable trophies and a hundred different 3D objects. In other words, plenty to play and high scores to beat.

The iPhone version of Spin takes advantage of the multi-touch controls, allowing the players to quickly spin objects in three axes using simple gestures. With the updated controls (multi-touch makes a huge difference in gameplay), re-tuned difficulty levels and the large screen on the iPhone, this is the definitive mobile version.

Spin for the iPhone is an adaptation of the mobile hit SiL, which won two awards at the Mobile Game Innovation Hunt in GDC 2007 as well as the Best Mobile Game award in the 2006 Forum Nokia Pro competition.

Secret Exit is a small indie developer located in Helsinki, Finland.  The team of five has been working on mobile games for the past year and will soon be making more fruits of their labor public.  They are an eclectic mix of developers with backgrounds in the demoscene, mobile gaming, and mainstream PC gaming (the AI lead in the popular PC game Crysis is among them).  We look forward to seeing more of what this group has in store for the iPhone gaming community.
