America's Next Top Model goes mobile

Groom your own wannabe model to become a catwalk queen

America's Next Top Model goes mobile

The glitzy outfits! The screaming tantrums! The high heels! But enough about the Pocket Gamer office. Guess what: America's Next Top Model has been turned into a mobile game.

Developed by Hong Kong firm Artificial Life, the game has you training and supporting one of the 13 participants from the latest series of the marvellously-bitchy reality TV show.

You get to customise her hair, makeup and wardrobe, monitor her nutrition, sleeping habits and steamy romping workout routine, and play a bunch of mini-games to turn your model into a star.

With titles like 'Photo Shoot', 'Catwalk', 'Makeup' and 'Balance', they promise a good insight into the making of a supermodel. If you're a fan of the show, it looks like being an essential buy.

Meanwhile, Artificial Life already has some ambitious ideas for the sequel, which will include connected features like sending your avatar 'on vacation' to your friends' phones.

America's Next Top Model is available now here in Europe on Artificial Life's own Botme portal.
