So, earlier at GDC in San Francisco I went hands-on with an upcoming puzzle title called Daddy’s Dojo. Don’t read into that playful, unconventional name — it offers more depth than you’d figure, but also offers the ease of play that it should.
In a nutshell, Daddy’s Dojo is about moving pegs to their appropriate holes. The catch is that each space a peg has previously occupied becomes a space that can no longer be used by future pegs within the same level. And as the progression ramps up, more unusual obstacles will meet you: elemental pegs that can only travel and land in certain places and also arrows that allow you to teleport across the board.
So, yeah, it’s a traditional type of puzzle game. Here’s a video of it in action starring the sultry tones of one of the developers who showed it off to me. You’ll get a better sense of the game when you check this out:
A couple of things to note: the target release date is April and the team plans to throw it out on the App Store for a penny shy of a dollar. An HD version is in the works too, and while it’ll cost a bit more, it’ll also offer some different content on top of the iPod touch and iPhone stuff you see above.
