A new game mode and a new cube; smoother gameplay; more Mozart, snouts and legs!
A new, original game mode (or book section, if you prefer) completes Gua-Le-Ni. Now featuring even human body parts, this new part is titled ‘Poetry’ and it offers a different use for the game’s original gameplay. Instead of challenging the players to optimize their performance and dexterity under the pressure of an ever accelerating parade of beasts, the ‘Poetry mode’ focuses on memory, creativity and relaxation. Gameplay will be accompanied by classical music and the verses of an old sonnet. With more beastly parts, a narrative structure and a series of new, delightful pencil backgrounds, the ‘Poetry’ mode makes playful taxonomy accessible to and engaging for anyone.
This new update of our iPad game (available from today on the Appstore) also features better tutorials, smoother and clearer gameplay, two new achievements, additional content in terms of graphics, animation and sound effects. In the past months, our game was already enthusiastically received by critics and reviewers (Gua-Le-Ni has a current Metacritic score of 83%). With the refinements, the improvements and the extensions we have enhanced the game with, it is our hope that our beasts will reach and entertain an even wider audience with an original and rewarding experience.
In a little less than three weeks, we are going to present the results of our biometric work in front of the Casual Games community at Casual Connect Asia 2012 in Singapore http://asia.casualconnect.org/
“For over a year now, we’ve been bringing you weekly dispatches from an often unexplored side of the App Store– independent games that don’t have the budget or brands to stand out from the crowd. But these games are still worth your attention, and they’re a lot better than a lot of App Store shovelware. Here are 20 top picks from over 200 indie games we’ve featured in the last year of Under The Radar articles, along with links to our full reviews.”
A Game About Colors is a free iOS puzzle game! Combine similar colors to make the highest score possibile!
A Game About Colors is a puzzle game, a fun concept experiment developed and available for free. The core mechanics of the game are pretty simple: You make a collection by selecting colored blocks on the grid and then tap the collect button, the more the selected colors have chromatic affinities, the more points you get!
The gestation period of a camel lasts roughly fourteen months. The time between the conception and the release of our pioneering action-puzzle videogame lasted exactly as much. It took us more than a year to conceptualize, prototype, design, program, balance and polish Gua-Le-Ni: or, the Horrendous Parade for its iPad debut. The end of our labor (ha-ha) has finally come and we are very proud to announce to you our AppStore release!
Gua-Le-Ni: or, the Horrendous Parade is the first commercially-released casual video game whose development and tuning were guided by the analysis of its players’ psychophysiological responses.
Taxonomy has never been so much fun!
“Thanxs to its biometric technology, Gua-Le-Ni Or: The Horrendous Parade is a compelling puzzle game, capable of adapting to your mood, whatever it is. What else to ask for?”
