It’s the spring of 2014, and by now, you’re probably thinking you’ve sliced everything you could possibly ever slice on your iOS device. Well, Bonsai Slice may not have you slicing new things, but the way you do it is definitely different. Take a look at the trailer:
Instead of swiping, you slice stuff by treating your iOS device as a sword, tilting and actively standing up and spinning around to change your view of the in-game world. We tried it at GDC, and it’s pretty neat. You don’t see too many games these days using the gyroscope for anything other than FPS controls, so it’s neat to see it in use here.
‘Bonsai Slice’ will be launching this week, along with the rest of the iOS games that’ll hit tomorrow night at 11:00 PM Eastern.
