Addicting new puzzle game is Motion 9 Studios' debut title!
Jacksonville, Florida - 21/1/2010 - Do you remember being in science class and noticing some metal balls hanging from strings on your teacher's desk? Sometimes called a Newton's Cradle, or Kinetic balls, this executive toy with bizarre origins has been fascinating people for ages. Another popular executive toy which has been selling around the world lately, as many know, is Apple's iPhone. Perhaps it was inevitable, then, that these two things should come together in Motion 9 Studio's first free app: Kinetic Balls for the iPhone and iPod Touch, coming soon to the Google Droid.
Kinetic Balls, developed by Motion 9 Studios was released to the iTunes app store as of January 20, 2010 and is completely free! There's really no reason not to give it a try and add it to your app list on your iPhone or iPod touch. Already growing to one of the most popular simulation apps this week, it has been getting a lot of positive reviews and is holding a score of 3.5 stars! This is only based on just the first few days of the app's launch! Lead director Ian Boswell (a psychologist-turned game developer) notes, "Kinetic balls is the kind of app which only has room to grow. It's got a number of skins to choose from, including basketballs, cocoanuts, and other fun things to smack around while dangling from strings or ropes. We can basically fit all the play of the toy in the palm of your hand and you can take it on the go, but being more than just that, we're able to continue adding more skins to the game. We'll only do so, though, if it manages to prove itself popular enough to warrant further investment on our part. As the graphic designer I was basically responsible, along with my colleague Bertrand Joseph, for all of the game's artwork and It's not hard for us to go back and, as a 2-man design team add more balls, more graphics, more buttons and then incorporate those. The hard part is finding the time to do so when we've got neatly 10 more games on the way which we're working very hard on as graphic designers and animators."
The company has even produced a somewhat comical Youtube trailer to promote kinetic balls for the iPhone. It can be viewed below.
So, as the promo video asks, "what have you got to lose?" You can download Kinetic Balls right now and play around with it to your heart's content. If you're browsing via a computer we suggest you visit www.motion9studios.com for more information and app store links.
If you are on your iPhone you can visit the app store link for Kinetic Balls directly here: itunes.apple.com/us/app/kinetic-balls/id350685008?mt=8
Motion 9 Studios, a company founded by video game designers from around the world and based on the East Coast United States, has managed to develop a long line of quality products, though most are only in early Alpha and Beta stages they clearly have a lot of potential for growth. Growth which they hope will begin by testing the waters with the revolutionary puzzle game "Flinger Frenzy" which they claim is not only hard to put down but which could even attract "non-gamers" and "Tetris fans."
