Zaaaap!
What have we been up to lately? Well, we've joined the iPhone craze.
Me and Thomas Lund decided we wanted to test out the iPhone market so we sat down and thought about it for a bit, I'm not sure we should go into the strange and twisted processes that lead us to create a game involving UFOs and sheep... (heck I'm not quite sure how we got to that either!).

Welcome to ElectroCUTE!
What we want to do with our iPhone games is pretty simple; fun, nice looking games that are designed to take proper advantage of the iphones input options. We saw a problem with games where you had to click your targets, the fact that you would then cover up your target with your fingers made it difficult to control and quite honestly not a lot of fun since you were missing all the action.
The solution was of course multitouch! In ElectroCUTE, rather than clicking on your targets, you click with two fingers to create a lightning bolt to zap your enemies.

Very cool! Looks like it's a lot of fun. I'll have to pick it up after my honeymoon. My wife'd kill me if I picked it up and played it during!

Nice mood, looks like a really cute game!

And well, David, an abducted sheep is a bit like a honeymoon, so she would probably just beam you up ;-)

I bought it ... and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Here is my post on the App Store. :)

Quote:This game is addictive and awesome. I initially came across it on the Garage Games website and just had to give it a try. After seeing the game play video, I decided to buy it and it ran first time, hasn't crashed and is a nice paced game that lets you save some sheep before lunchtime.

Awesome job guys.

Damn you and Damn this Game ... it is so addictive ... my high score at the moment is 3310 ... can't remember what level I got to but it was passed 30 ... and possibly past 40 ... my fingers are sore and at one stage I had 15 lives ... I love this game ... great for passing boredom in long-winded meetings ... as long as you remember to turn the volume down. Heheheheehe
