TiltnTwist Released 4 Windows Mobile Games

Thursday, 13 November 2008

TiltnTwist has announced the release of 4 brand new Windows Mobile games that utilize Gesturetek's latest technologies based on both motion gestures from the players.

“By using GestureTek Mobile’s optical tracking solution for their Windows Mobile games, TiltnTwist has positioned itself to unleash the power of gesture-driven interaction to mobile users worldwide,” said Francis MacDougall, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for GestureTek.

“TiltnTwist is greatly expanding the availability of gesture-controlled games from the iPhone to pretty much every type of mobile handset on the market,” said Robert Goodale, co-founder with Trev Huxley of TiltnTwist. “Every family member – regardless of age – can have fun with games controlled by hand and body movements rather than tiny buttons.”

HyperHamster
Join genius hamster Captain Weevil as he tests his free-roaming mobile lab inside a clear rolling ball. Utilizing the unique technology of GestureTek, players control the ball's direction simply with the motion of their phone. Move the phone to maneuver the hamster as it floats and jumps to explore the world. Drift left and right as you hover airborne and roll along the ground to travel through each level. Speed up and slow down with a single motion and rock the phone for jumping power. Shake your phone to break free of spider webs and gobs of goo. HyperHamster was developed by OneNine Studios, while the other mobile games have been developed by Super Happy Fun.

Snowboarding TNT
A popular winter sport is captured in Snowboarding TNT which has 3D graphics that exploit capabilities of Windows Mobile handsets. Camera- and gesture-controlled navigation steers players through gates, around obstacles, and over jumps. Players can perform 30 air tricks on 9 courses, with the ability to link tricks to create custom sequences, and can obtain power-ups to increase speed and score.

DropZone
TiltNTwist’s DropZone is an exhilarating Windows Mobile skydiving game that uses 3D graphics and EyeMobile control for a compelling 10-skydive adventure. GestureTek’s EyeMobile application uses the device’s existing camera to power motion-based mobile games and mobile applications. Camera-controlled action gives a realistic first person point of view as players test their aerial prowess dropping through balloon rings, and hitting ground targets for maximum points.

DUI: The Long Drive Home
Windows Mobile players follow Humphrey through his night of debauchery as he parties around town, has maybe a little too much to drink, and tries to get himself home – all the while trying to avoid being discovered by his wife. Players are faced with 10 mini-game challenges including getting the keys in the car ignition, driving home safely without smashing into obstacles, and the ultimate test – passing the dreaded field sobriety test. Five levels of difficulty make DUI: The Long Drive Home increasingly more difficult and fun, and local leader boards let players return again and again to improve their scores.
