The game

The game

Reduced to the max.  .™ is a simple and fun game which is based on a straight concept and a consistent execution. App Store link (0,79 €)

You control the white dot by tilting you iPhone. Eat the blue dots, avoid the orange triangles. That’s it. No title, no extras, no menues, no messages. But fun. The tilt control works perfect and the simples graphics look really nice with some subtle gradients and grain effects. It’s real fun playing it over and over again, trying to increase your score.

What I also like about this app is that several aspects are different from any other app I’ve seen. It starts with the name : “.™”. It needs some courage to choose a name that is not at all searchable anywhere online. The icon is just a small white dot, not even half the size of other app’s icons. The app has no title screen. Instead there is a simple and intuitive instruction screen from which you start the game. UsTwo also made beautiful promo videos for the app. They tell nothing much about the game or the gameplay (see below) but the look good and generate interest just through that. I really like all those ideas quite a lot. They’re inspiring and witness great thinkers behind the app. As this app is the first in a series of “48h” apps, I am thrilled to see what’s coming next.
