H.Grenade Games has announced its premiere title for the iPod Touch and iPhone: a synesthetic shooter called Circuit Strike.One. Developer Shay Casey describes the project as a team-up of Geometry Wars and Asteroids, only with faster gameplay, a bigger playfield, and a Rez-like aesthetic.
It’s the last part that makes the game sound especially appealing — a music visualizer is displayed in the background during gameplay, and in-game actions will change the soundtrack’s tempo, add fills, and trigger appropriate background visuals. Other gameplay features include:
- Bullet-time Slow-Motion Game Mechanic
- Time + Skill Based Difficulty
- Chained Explosions, Near Misses + Time based Bonuses
- Touchscreen Auto-Targeting for Beginners + Free Look for Advanced Players
- Accelerometer or On-Screen Analog Stick for Movement
Sounds good so far! The gallery below contains the first batch of officially released screenshots. A gameplay video will be released in the next few days.
