We’re delighted to reveal our debut title, M0B1US, set to be released for iPhone and iPod Touch next week.
M0B1US (pronounced “mobius”) is an arcade endless runner, but with a rather unique twist. Instead of running in a single direction, in M0B1US you initially run along the bottom of your screen, before running up the side, along the top (whilst upside down!), and then back down the opposite side, all the while jumping and sliding over randomly-generated obstacles.
It’s a fast-paced game, with simple one-touch controls, a futuristic techno soundtrack, and gameplay which is easy to learn, but difficult to master, and is guaranteed to have you muttering “Oh go on then, just one more go” as you try and beat your high score.
M0B1US is the result of a challenge we set ourselves to design, create, and release a game in just three weeks. Given that Lucid Runner won't be out for a few months, this challenge presented us with the opportunity to have a published game under our belts, and we're hoping we can take what we've learned from creating M0B1US and apply it to Lucid Runner. Given the tight time frame, we decided to create a simple, yet polished game which could be updated with extra content in the future. After some deliberation we settled on an endless runner, but with the unique twist of having the character run around all four sides of the screen.
M0B1US is also part of our connected Mental Universe, and sees a young Lucid cobbling together a VR headset in order to create a training environment so he can improve his agility and reaction speeds.
The game will initially only be available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, however we do have plans to bring it to the iPad along with additional content and features.
M0B1US will hopefully be available to download at the end of March, and will cost the wallet-friendly price of £0.69.
