io - iPhone Review

io, game
IO the much awaited side scrolling platform game from Chiilingo is finally out ! But unfortunately it seems like someone in the dev team played a joke and released it WAY to soon. The game feels totally unfinished , even from the menu settings things like “Show/Hide FPS” or “Show/Hide Skeleton” point to that. We started a new game and the bad surprises kept coming. It took almost 30 sec to load , most of the screen is covered in controls with huge buttons for JUMP and RUN/WALK/CROUCH toggle and a tiny D-pad that has extremely cramped directionals controls. The actual game screen is half the iPhone’s screen size, it looks like a forced 16:9 view. We played a bit , killed a mecha enemy but unfortunately kept dieing soon after for no apparent reason over and over again. We will be back with an update after we pass this curious impediment. Till then here is a short game play video :
