Aqua Forest – The coolest iPhone game that isn’t

Now this is cool. It might not be a “game” in the classic sense of the term, but bored iPhone owners are sure to get a kick out of Aqua Forest as soon as the AppStore launches this week.

Rather than pit some randomly useless gaming skill against a computer or multi-player network, Aqua Forest helps you pass the time by playing around with various forces of nature. From water to wind to fire, Aqua Forest‘s 2D “multi-physics engine,” OctaveEngine Casual, turns a simple swipe of the finger in to an interactive joyride.

Water spills and moves around, much like it would in real life. When water meets fire, it evaporates. And the possibilities go on and on. This is definitely going to be on my AppStore shopping list.

Check out the video below for a mesmerizing look at Aqua Forest.

    Now that looks awesome! Is this going exclusively for the iPhone? Or will this be available for other devices down the road? I would love to own an app like this but I’m not an iPhone customer (and I don’t plan on being one) But yeah, this “game” looks to be very entertaining! I could get days apon days of entertainment out of this! I’m a very easily amused person, lol.

    It’s almost like staring at fish in an aquarium or fish tank!
