Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP
http://superbrothers.ca/
WTF IS SUPERBROTHERS: SWORD & SWORCERY EP?
a brave experiment in I/O cinema.
a crude videogame haiku about life, love & death.
a choice cut of myth & dreams.

| Quote: | Sword & Sworcery EP recently won an achievement in art award in the IGF Mobile 2010 competition. It's a stylized, artistic adventure developed by Superbrothers + Capybara Games + Jim Guthrie that dazzles with its rich and mysterious atmosphere established by a unique pixel art graphical presentation, an ethereal soundtrack that sets the mood for every screen, and sparse instructional cues on the outset that make you, the player, feel like a truly small entity in a large, alien world.
The designers call it "i/o cinema."
Right now I can't fully setup the scene for you, as the whole of the scene is still in the minds of the game's creators, not yet entirely implemented on the iPhone. What we were shown at GDC 2010 was meant as a teaser, a taste of the world that will be fully realized in the estimated three months between now and the game's App Store release. But what we did see was, in a word, moving.
In Sword & Sworcery EP, you control a female character exploring a mysterious world. Armed with sword and shield, you begin to explore your edenesque surroundings, tapping and holding in the intended direction of travel. You walk along paths, climb up and down stairs carved into the landscape, wander into the depths of the backdrop — even walk upon water. Brush a finger across a tree or bush and it responds to your touch.
But why are you here? What is your mission?
As you wander about this strange world you hear the chirping of insects, see various fauna dwelling in the bracken. Before long you encounter a strange being of obvious intelligence peering out at you from the wilderness. It retreats in response to your chase and gives little indication as to whether it is friend or foe. Eventually you follow it into its lair and are challenged to a fight. As you rotate your iPhone to enter the game's fight mode, you begin exchanging blows with this curious character. With some savvy you bring it to its knees, rendering it helpless, waiting for your final blow.
But…do you end this creatures life? Will you deal out death upon this helpless being whose world you have infiltrated? Or will you show mercy? |
Looks weird but impressive and quirky but cool.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

The music, in fact the audio in general, is just fantastic in this game. Such a great atmosphere.

Only works on the iPhone/iPod 4 due to the resolution, which is why I haven't tested it yet.
