In May of last year we first took a look at DifferentCloth’s Lilt Line [$2.99], a well received rhythm game with a great soundtrack. Lilt Line was a little on the simple side, but the overall experience of the game was really cool as the tilt and tap based gameplay was paired really well with the music. Earlier today Helicoid was announced, which looks to be a somewhat similar music-based game only this time it’s based on tilting your phone around to advance through a spiral.
It’s hard to make out how much fun the game will be from the video alone, but I expect it to be a bit like Lilt Line in that it won’t really make sense until you’ve got the game in your hands. Helicoid was submitted to the App Store yesterday, and DifferentCloth expects it to be released sometime next week. For more details, check out the thread in our forums or the Helicoid web site.
Lilt Line was killer. Can't wait to see...and hear...this dev dreamed up now.
Interesting mechanism. Thank heavens for free bumper cases!
Music sounds horrible...
Agreed. Viewing the video without sound, I imagined what looked like a mess generating something neat and melodic, but no, it really is just a mess of random sounds.
The game looks like a lot of fun. I'll just need to make sure I don't tell my insurer about this game.
the higher levels doesn't look like fun. ... *swoosh* and your iphone lies on the ground. not to say that people in the tram, bus and so on will think that you are crazy.
i hope i do not drop my ipod spinning it like that around
Why the he'll would he be playing that over what looks like tile. I'd have a mattress underneath.
Interesting blog. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. Thanks a load!
