Dutch game developer Two Tribes has announced that it will start launching mobile games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will start in Q1 with it's WiiWare title Toki Tori.
“We are happy to announce that we are able to bring the full Toki Tori experience to iPhone gamers.”, says Martijn Reuvers, Managing Director at Two Tribes. “A lot of games get dumbed down before being released on the iPhone, but we believe in full quality games and offer exactly this with Toki Tori.”
The gameplay in Toki Tori is a blend of two genres. While it looks like a platform game, it's a puzzle game by heart. Players will have to look and plan ahead carefully while using a variety of items, such as the Telewarp, Freeze-o-Matic and InstantRockTM to name but a few. For iPhone/iPod Touch, the game has been adapted to take advantage of the unique interface offered by the devices.
“The controls have been redesigned to make full use of the multi-touch screen and tilt sensor.”, says Collin van Ginkel, Creative director Director at Two Tribes. “We have thrown the original directional controls out the door and developed a new control scheme which works great on iPhone/iPod Touch.”
