14 DAY TRIAL // A company called realtech VR has released Freeesh, a game that tasks players with feeding and protecting a small nucleus. Available as a free download for owners of an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, the game features an environment filled with dangers, large and red molecules that would eat the nucleus, a chilling soundtrack, and gameplay reminiscent of and inspired by the Flow arcade game, according to realtech VR.
The makers explain that players must maintain a vigilant eye on the action as there are molecules constantly moving around the screen. The object of the game, however, couldn’t be simpler: grab the small molecules to feed the nucleus while avoiding the dangerous ones.
"If you liked playing fl0w, you’ll love Freeesh!", the company believes. "Feed and protect your nucleus well, if you want to reach higher levels of evolution in this original, arcade type of game. Be careful to avoid the bigger and red molecules as you feed your nucleus smaller ones to thrive and survive."
Although it may sound simple at first, gameplay becomes increasingly more difficult with each advanced level, as molecules begin to move faster and their numbers increase. Some key features are listed below.
Notably, the game is advertised as a free title, although players must make in-app purchases for the full version containing all 12 levels.
· User friendly, intuitive interface · Accelerometer or Digital Pad control (with iPhone 4 gyroscope support) · 60 fps gameplay on iPhone 3GS and more · 3 *free* levels for a total of 12 levels with increasing challenges (requires in-app purchase for full version). · Game Center support with Leaderboard and Achievement · Personal best times for each levels · Original chilling soundtrack by Alexel (alexel.org)
Currently featured in Apple’s “New & Noteworthy” section of the iTunes App Store, the game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and requires iOS 4.2 or later.
“The app was inspired by Flow,” said Stephane Denis, CEO of Realtech VR. Flow dealt with aquatic organisms traveling through a biosphere, consuming other organisms. Denis explained further, “We thought the game was so much fun that we tried to emulate it, to maintain the original feel while developing a modern platform and up to date features. We think this gives our users the best of both worlds.”
