Balloonacy is the first game of Mobile Amusements for the iPhone and it’s now available in the App Store. In the game you need to tilt the iPhone to guide your balloon through maze-like levels. If you touch an obstacle or one of the walls, your balloon will pop and your quest for keys to open walls will cost you an extra balloon life. The cool thing about the game is that it’s absolutely free, it just has some advertising in it.

Today IUGO released its innovative iPhone-game Toy Bot Diaries Entry 1 in the App Store. You play as a cute little robot called Toy Bot and you control him by tilting the iPhone. By tapping objects in the levels you pick them up and use them. The first impressions of the game are very positive, so it’s definitely worth that $3.99. Now all we have to do is wait for Toy Bot Diaries Entry 2 to come out!
id Software gives more info on their iPhone plans

A few days ago John Carmack said that Apple’s iPhone is “a graphical tour de force” and that it’s far better than the Nintendo DS and PSP combined. Tood Hollenshead, CEO of id Software, released some more information about their future plans for the iPhone. He says they certainly don’t want to be carried away and that John Carmack was very disappointed they didn’t have an iPhone game ready when the App Store launched:
“John is pretty disappointed we didn’t have the manpower and resources to have a game for the launch of the” app store, id CEO Todd Hollenshead said.
The in-house developers team for mobile games is just too small and had not enough time to get a game ready for the launch of the App Store. At this moment they can only develop one game at a time and they will probably have to gather up with a publisher:
“It appears that at this point that given the size of our team, we can only work on one mobile game at a time. We are probably partner up and the first (iPhone game) will be one where we work with a publishing partner.”
They would like to see both Wolfenstein RPG and and Doom 2 RPG on the iPhone, but they don’t know when those games could be heading to the iPhone. To finish up Hollenshead compared the Nokia N-Gage with the iPhone:
“The iPhone is cool, and the n-Gage was a nerd device,” Hollenshead said. “The iphone is a pretty damn awesome phone, it’s a great business device, it’s one of the best portable mp3 player you can buy, it can play videos. There’s a lot of reasons to have that device and it has the power to play games as well. It’s a cool device that you can play games on and they can be awesome games.”
Radius has been available for a while now but if you buy it in the coming two days, then you pay only $0.99, that’s $3 cheaper than usual. It’s a simple but enjoyable game perfect to kill some time, and some enemies that just keep rotating. For only $0.99 this is a steal.
Artificial Life is proud to announce its very first game for Apple’s iPhone, VBotAttack. The game combines 2D and 3D, will have nice vector graphics, gameplay combining both action and puzzles and it uses the iPhone’s touchscreen and accelerometer. You play with VBot who has to kill enemy robots and solve puzzles on his way. Artificial Life has been creative in selecting its level settings, you’ll be planing in cranes, lava pools and conveyor belts.
THQ Wireless has released some new screenshots and information of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the iPhone. They showed the game off at E3 2008 as well and the first impressions of the game were pretty good. The controls seem to work good and intuitive. Not only will this game have a single player mode, it also features a survival mode.
