Illusion Labs has recently announced its multi-touch skate game for the iPhone called Touchgrind. The game is unique in that finger gestures are used for control, similar to the motion of the legs and feet on a real skateboard.
The player rides freely in a skatepark and performs tricks on ramps, boxes and rails. The dynamic and innovative controls together with the game being built on a high quality physics engine gives the players a high degree of freedom to come up with their own tricks.
Apart from the “natural controls,” Illusion Labs has developed an online level editor allowing fans to create and publish their own skateparks. On the dedicated website, players can post requests for new features, discuss them and vote for their favorites — even after the release, the community can affect the game.
The bad news, though, is that you’ll have to wait till October to download/buy Touchgrind from the AppStore. In the meantime, I guess you’ll have to “settle” with Spore Origins. 😉
