Snake chain bits

A crossbreed of Pong and rhythm games. App Store link (1,59 €)

You control the paddle on the left hand side of the screen up and down by either tilt or touch control. In the game there are 3 levels which are actually electronic songs. According to the music the bits are approaching from the right side. As you hit them with the paddle they make a sound that becomes party of the music.

So it able to replace the actual sounds with it’s own sounds. Read the rest of this entry »

split screen

This is an animation with a real 3D effect without having to wear any 3D-goggles. App store link

This app starts two almost identical 3D animations of a ride in a rollercoaster next to each other on a splitscreen. As you hold the phone very close in front of your face and stare at the animations they start overlapping. It appears as if there were 3 animations next to each other. This causes a surprising 3D effect for the animation in the middle. Read the rest of this entry »
