Those folks over at Umbrella Games sure are burning the midnight oil. Not only did they announce and show us two new upcoming titles at GDC last month (the blocky RPG Magic Mountain and the one-touch platformer Back To Square One), but they’ve just announced yet another title that’s releasing extremely soon. It’s called Loop Mania and it’s a frantic one-touch arcade game that has you racing around the inside of a circle collecting coins, and jumping from side to side in order to avoid or attack pursuing enemy circles. It’s a bit hard to explain but all should be clear from this trailer.
As one of our forum members who got a hold of an early code for Loop Mania put it, “I would call this an innercircle Super Boom Dots" which sounds like a pretty on the money description. As you probably know Boom Dots (Free) was released by Umbrella just about a year ago, and offered a very similar “launch circle into another circle" style of play. It’s nice to see them expanding on that concept with Loop Mania. Both Loop Mania and Back To Square One are already submitted to Apple and awaiting approval, and the plan is to have them both out this month, ideally with Loop Mania launching the week after Back To Square One. Keep an eye out for both really soon!
