Playbrains has announced their upcoming mobile gaming debut with Babo Crash, a fast-paced action puzzler built for iPhone, iPad and Android platforms. Babo Crash starts out simple with the familiar gem-swapping match-3 gameplay, rewarding players who create bigger matches – but it ramps up the intensity, by adding hero characters with special abilities, real-time enemy combat, destructive powerups, chain reactions and evolving objectives!
Rotating the device shifts gravity – additionally, tilting the device contols a hero’s special powers – a nice touch bringing in the iPhone/iPod Touch accelerometer. Once players guide a bomb to its detonation zone, they’ll instantly clear the stage and enter Overtime, a bonus round where they can rack up huge scores through combo chains and multipliers.
The developers say these are the best features of the game:
BaboCrash brings frenetic match-three action with tons of genre-bending features:
- Addictive, high tempo match-three puzzle action
- Gorgeous graphics with over-the-top special effects
- Strategically rotate your device to control collapses
- Unleash heroic abilities to destroy tons of gems at once
- Combo/multiplier system – the faster you match, the higher you score
- 21 levels to ramp up the madness
- Leaderboards and Achievements via OpenFeint
…. but I say never mind that, check out a trailer of the game itself:
Babo Crash is coming to the App Store in March 2010 for $0.99. Until it makes it on to the App Store, you can check out additional details here.
