‘Spin’ Shape-Matching Game Now Available

Secret Exit’s Spin game [App Store] appeared in the app store tonight.

Spin is a shape matching puzzle game that makes good use of the iPhone’s multi-touch interface to spin 3D objects around in order to match it up with the silhouette shown.

Secret Exit is a small indie developer located in Helsinki, Finland. The team of five is an eclectic mix of developers with backgrounds in the demoscene, mobile gaming, and mainstream PC gaming.

We’ve already been able to spend some time with the game and found it to be an enjoyable experience. 3D rotation is accomplished using left/right and two-finger rotate gestures:

The game offers the following features, and carries a very polished style and soundtrack:

· 10 difficulty levels with 100 stages
· 11th difficulty level for the insane
· Unlockable trophy objects
· 3 different game modes
· 100 different 3D objects

This developer video is an accurate representation of the game (complete with the same soundtrack).

While the game adds unlockable trophies to mark your accomplishments, I found the Minute Rush mode to be a fun exercise in which you simply try run through as many shapes as you can with in a minute time frame. The developer also provides a detailed explanation of the ramp up of difficulty found in the normal levels.

Matching each silhouette is a curiously satisfying experience, and the less moves you take to get there improves your score. As a plot-less experience, this game provides a more “casual" gaming experience, offering you a fun distraction when you have to some time to kill.

    The release date for Rolando is December 12th. There was an announcement on YouTube, I think.

    they need to fix the sound of the spaceship's rockets.... sounds like a bad fart.
    And Dr Awesome sounds good and quite fast-paced, but can't help thinking it looks and plays like Bix already on the App Store (although doesn't look anywhere as near fancy as NGcomo's offering)

    Me too, Noah. Maybe this is just one of the mini-games though and the others will be more like TC.

    apparently theres noobs here who think this is like virus? WTF? in virus you fill a screen. in dr. awesome you apparently "remove" the infection by doing that cutting thing. any similarity? NO.

    Let's see... fill it in, cut it out. fill it in, cut it out.

    Hmm. Yup, sounds like semantics to me.

    I must be a noob. are noobs cool nowadays then? :)

  10. cree

    also a noob here :-)
    am i wrong or is EVERY game from ngmoco "inspired" by another game? it started with "mazefinger" (rip off of arcade machine "hot finger") and now this (dr. awesome - phoenix wright graphics and qix-like gameplay)
