Upcoming 'Sway' from Illusion Labs

posted January 19th, 2009 12:44 PM EDT by Blake Patterson in iPhone games, iPod touch games, Platform, Upcoming Games

Illusion Labs, who brought us TouchGrind and Labyrinth for the iPhone and iPod touch, have partnered with ReadyAimFire to bring a swinging new game called Sway to the App Store.

The world of Sway exploded and you must help Lizzy the Lizard find her friends by swinging her through the world. When you find Ninja, Pappman or one of the others you can play them as well! Lizzy the lizard and her friends can grab and swing in beautiful bouncy physics simulation with a little help from your fingers.

It takes a bit of practice to get used to the controls but once you get the hang of it, you never wanna stop swaying.

Sway, which is visually somewhat reminiscent of a simplified LittleBigPlanet, utilizes a combination of tap and swipe controls to get Lizzy the Lizard through the game's various levels.  Illusion Labs' Sway trailer video demonstrates the technique and overall gameplay.

We don't have many additional details surrounding this interesting looking title at this time.  Stay tuned for more details as they surface and an in-dept look upon release.

Sway is set to make it's App Store debut sometime in February.

    Oh I love the 3D graphics a lot. And controls seem easy.
    Rastamonkey is kind of the same, but the jump controls of Rastamonkey need some serious work.

    Rasta Monkey and Sway do resemble one another to a degree. I'm anxious to give this one a try.

    while we're on a say what it looks like theme, I'd say its more like Donkey Kong Jungle Climber on the DS but with physics and 3d Graphics... for a moment there I thought the LBP reference might be more to do with its creation side, alas not :(

    "will it blend?" lol. love the reference. I'm kinda leaning toward rasta monkey, though, since it seems like you can get some serious air. this seems kinda bland.

    Illusion Labs do seem to know how to squeeze the 3d juice out of the machine. What engine do they use I wonder.

    I don't see how the two games look the same. They both have a monkey, yes.. but the play looks completely different.

    The graphics kind of look like LittleBigPlanet.
    I think a level editor would be cool... ;P
