Quirky new independent developer Mind Splat Design releases their debut game app, "Avoid a Ball" for iOS and Android.
About 'Avoid a Ball'
Avoid a Ball is an addictive descent into squelchy, spattery chaos. The frenetic pace of this arena-based, single-level high-score game (think Doodle Jump/ Tiny Wings) appeals to the time-poor.
The game's clean, simple design focuses on utilising the touch interface as much as possible. Code, art and design have all been built in the exciting and virtually limitless Unity engine.
Gameplay
The premise is simple: you're a little eyeball trapped in a giant mouth of doom, being incessantly chased by malicious roving enemy balls. Lucky for you, you can avoid them by making well-planned bounces from tooth-to-tooth. To help you outrun certain doom, collect starts and work towards retribution time, where you can rack up some serious points in a moment of invincibility.
As you progress through levels the number of enemy balls increases. Oh, and they get faster...and larger. Keep an eye out for bonus rounds that let you take out some extra-splattery frustration on the enemy balls.
Avoid a Ball's wonky, wobbly soundtrack is courtesy of acclaimed electronic artist Spoonbill.
