iPhone developer Nonverbal today released Monospace [App Store], a 2D/3D block-elimination puzzle game for the iPhone and iPod touch.
Monospace is a puzzle game where the player needs to think in both 2 and 3 dimensions. The goal is to collect a certain amount of white cubes in each level. To do that, the 3-dimensional level can be reduced to a flat image and then turned back into a spatial object again. Different possibilities will result from different perspectives.
Monospace is an intriguing challenge that requires the player to visualize the game’s playfield in both two and three dimension. It starts off rather simply, but quickly increases in difficulty as the levels advance. The game fatures 64 levels divided into four difficulty stages.
I’ve spent some time with the title and find it to be a rather clever offering that puzzle fans will likely enjoy.
See the developer’s gameplay video to get a better idea of what the game is all about.

Reminds me of Psygnosis game Obliterator.
For me it looks like SpaceHulk (Dos) from Games Workshop. Seems a little bit slow, which dosn't have to be a Bad Thing...
the description sounds awesome but the video is kind of lame. not convinced on this one
Look like there is plenty of potential there. I look forward to seeing the final product.
Well, you know what they say about a space-man with big boots, don't ya? Big boots - big feet!
looks eh... it's a no buy for me if you cant see the gun, for now you just see the bullets...
I think I'll pass on this one.
It does look dull, and the control looks really bad
Sounds, so promising but then you have a look at the vids and you like, wtf?
Hope, it's a real fps. Not, lame wanna-bs!
Wow, it's 1997 and I am looking at SpaceHulk on the 3do. Not that it's a bad thing, I loved that game!
As others stated, totally reminds me of Space Hulk. Had that one on 3DO and it was one of the games that made me decide to keep that system (along with Star Control II). Even the slow speed of the walking reminds me of Space Hulk. If this game is anywhere near the quality of that old EA game, then this one is a must own.
Remind of Space Hulk at first sight. Could be a good sign by the way.
