It’s no secret we’re pretty big fans of platforming games around TouchArcade headquarters, so when we spot a new one that looks like it has some potential we feel it’s our duty to spread the good word to the like-minded gamers out there. Today we’ve got our eyes on Wimp, an upcoming puzzle platformer from Flexile Studios.
Emphasis on the “puzzle” in that description, as Wimp seems to be heavily skewed towards figuring out various environmental physics puzzles along with the general running and jumping associated with platformers.
Also, your character is encased in a bubble of…er, snot? Slime? Something gooey and weird, whatever it technically is, but it’s also something that affords more opportunities for puzzle mechanics. Your slime ball can stick to certain surfaces and, it appears, also be set on fire, among other things. Just give this gameplay trailer for Wimp a look and see for yourself.
Wimp is currently in a beta testing period, with many members in our forums taking part and having plenty of positive things to say about the game so far. If all goes according to plan we should all be playing Wimp sometime this month, and we’ll be sure to let you know once we hear anything concrete in regards to release date and pricing.
I has a boner
I can haz boner?
It's improving. Honestly, I feel like the next updates it needs most are an update to the crafting system (so it's like the original) and bigger worlds (if that's possible, not sure if the iphone is still too underpowered to handle). Also, increased draw distance would go a long way in this!
The crafting system is fine. The seeds and dungeons are what need to be fixed now.
Yeah! Creepers!
I just bought it this morning. I've been waiting for them to add chests to the game before I got it, so I was glad they finely did. I'm really enjoying the survival mode. I've built myself an underground stone bunker where I can work in safety while I'm building and stockpiling the supplies needed to build a nice home.
I've never played the pc version, so I was wondering if it's normal in this game for trees to stay up like that after chopping down their trunks or is that just an issue in the pocket version? Mind you it's not interfering with my enjoyment of the game, I was just wondering.
From what I remember from the PC Version, yes it is normal that the trees stay in mid air when we're cutting then :) I think it's only sand and a few other blocks that have gravity (including water and lava).
If you chop the entire tree trunk down, the rest of the leaves will remain floating in midair but will slowly disappear. They'llbe gone before a half-day cycle in-game. That's from BOTH versions by the way.
The addition of chests and beds are a huge plus, would love to be able to play with someone that's not in the same room, really feel like some non-local multiplayer would set this off nicely. Mobile minecraft players can only hope.
I think TNT needs a bigger explosion. Its not much.
Maybe add the good ol' minecraft music by c418?
It's been a blast having this game on my iPad. Every update I'll drop into a world, play with the new features for a while, then sit back and wait for the next update. Chests were at the top of my want list. Beds are nice but fixing day spawning monsters is better. Creepers make it Minecraft for realzies.
The biggest need now is larger world size. Finding enough of a needed crafting material on any particular world can be literally impossible. Alternatively we could carry personal inventory between worlds a'la JunkJack, but that might be contrary to the underlying spirit of Minecraft.
If you're serious about iOS games you should have this app. Not because it works perfectly; it doesn't. But because, like Minimon, Minecraft PE is an actively updated work in progress and it's a blast to watch it all slowly come together.
OFAP
still I'd rather wait for the final version or at least close enough final version to even bother. Why would I want to play a gimped minecraft, when the real thing is available to me just as often.
I dont know to find plant seeds :(
Use your hoe then dig 1 block down u ment find seed I did that and it works
So how does one actually *use* the bed?
When we can get an OPTIONAL endless map?
Becouse not everyone have 8Gb iPod Touch or 3Gs...
