Solo developer Jared Baily of Nocanwin has long been one of my favorite developers, not just because he has the best first name in existence, but because he’s constantly trying new and interesting ideas for games. After his well-received Rocket Ski Racing (Free) released back in January, he’s now got a new project releasing later this month, a frantic color matching game called destructSUN. Colored orbs zoom around the screen and when they cross the sun in the center you tap to destroy them. Simple, right? The catch is that the color of the sun must match the color of the orb, and obviously as you progress more and more orbs come into play, complicating matters. This seems like the kind of game that’s just as much about patience as it is about fast reactions. Check out the trailer for Insanity mode in destructSUN.
If that video got a little too intense for you, worry not, as there’s also a Zen mode in destructSUN if you don’t feel like having your butt handed to you. Either way, the concept is really cool and I of course love games where you only need a single tap to play. If you want to see what the Zen mode is all about there’s a second trailer in the game’s forum thread, and you can look forward to destructSUN launching later this month on March 24th.
