Tonight, the folks at Team Phobic released a video of their next App Store installment, the forthcoming game GravBot. If you aren't familiar with Team Phobic, they are most well known for the excellent platforming games Bounce On [$1.99/Lite] and Bounce On 2: Drallo's Demise [$3.99/Lite], as well as the collaborative effort with Backflip Studios on the colorful tunnel shooter aptly named Tunnel Shoot [99¢]. This new game will be a physics-based puzzle-platformer with an emphasis on manipulating gravity to navigate levels filled with switches, buttons, elevators, and traps.
GameDynamo - "GravBot is a cute, little iPhone puzzle game that implements innovative gravity-altering gameplay. Unlike many physics-based puzzlers for the iOS, GravBot forces players to use their brain as they collect batteries throughout maze-like landscapes littered with obstacles. "
GameDynamo says, "We recently had the chance to interview a few key members of Team Phobic, an independent game developer based just outside of Boulder, Colorado, that specializes in producing content for Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. In many ways, Team Phobic embodies the best aspects of the new economy – handheld game development is a neo-cottage industry that has made entrepreneurs out of regular guys, becoming their own bosses and allowing them to create what they want, their way."
STP: With its perfect difficulty curve and great gravity flipping mechanic, GravBot does the puzzle genre proud.
