iPhone iPod touch game KamiCrazy - a fast-paced action-puzzler cross between Lemmings, Enigmo and Pitfall
Now available to download on iTunes, KamiCrazy is a fast-paced action-puzzler – a cross between Lemmings, Enigmo and Pitfall – where you have to guide a group of Kami soldiers to safety through a series of perilous, trap-laden levels.
The story begins when the fearsome Kami soldiers crash-land in the jungle, and they need the player's help to get them back to their ship – dealing with some dangerous terrain and troublesome traps along the way.
The game is controlled by flicking, pushing, nudging and swinging the soldiers to safety, which the player can accomplish by manoeuvring various objects such as springs, ropes, fans and other objects left in the jungle by the natives.
Each of the 40 levels some ingenuity and quick thinking to overcome puzzles, combined with the timing and accuracy needed to avoid obstacles and perils, such as water and spikes.
Stuart Varrall, founder of Fluid Pixel Studios, expects the game to prove a hit. He says: “It’s a fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, the style will appeal to audiences worldwide and it’s easy to pick-up-and-play."
KamiCrazy is the first game released for the iPhone by Fluid Pixel, one of a growing number of successful game developers based in Middlesbrough in North East England.
The game is available to download for free as an, 8-level Lite version, or as a full 40-level game for just $3.99. Both versions are available in the iTunes online store.
