I don’t know what it is with Tilting Point and their whole “We must outdo absolutely everyone when it comes to trailer production values" thing, but, hey, why not. You may remember the Leo’s Fortune Rube Goldberg machine trailer (which is now sporting over 1.5m views, what the hell) as being pretty rad, and the just-released The Sleeping Prince trailer is similarly awesome.
It uses a technique called projection mapping which, in a nutshell, uses a building as a projection screen to make it look like crazy things are happening to said building. If you’ve never seen these videos before, here’s a collection of other great ones with my personal favorite being this video from when the Astronomical Clock in Prague turned 600.
Anyway, The Sleeping Prince trailer uses the Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown, NY as its screen. Check it out:
Tilting Point is definitely starting to be known in my book as that publisher partner that releases the oddly elaborate trailers for iOS games, and it’s hard to imagine where they’re going to go from here. With Rube Goldberg and projection mapping crossed off the list, do you just go full OK Go on the next one?
It is great to see this excellent indie game getting front page attention. Well done and nice review.
Review Phantom Rift for faaaks sake
I bought this. And played it and decidedly hated it. Why? It's boring.
Partyrs doesn't have the variety of Girls like Robots (one of my all time favorite ios games), but the game is well done. I don't like the forced timed levels, but otherwise I'm enjoying my time playing. Recommended for puzzle fans.
I love puzzle games, and this looks great! Hopefully Apple chooses it as their App of the Week so that I can try it out.
Or you could buy it.
That sounds snarky, I didn't mean it to, sorry.
What I mean is if you think it looks great and you like puzzles you have nothing to lose by buying it.
Girls like robots is the only game on this style that truly maked it wonderfull experience, this one... Just went to mediocre.. And not too original
