Mouse About scampers onto iPhone

CobraMobile follows up Numba with rodent-based puzzler

| Sep 12, 2008

UK-based developer CobraMobile has released its second iPhone game, Mouse About.

It's an action-puzzler in which you play Marv, a hungry mouse, who has to scuttle around the screen munching food, against the clock.

(Do mice have any concept of clocks?)

It's all controlled via the touchscreen, anyway, with Marv having to scoff all the food onscreen to make it to the next puzzle. CobraMobile says the game dynamically adapts to your skill level, ensuring it stays challenging.

We were big fans of the company's previous iPhone title, Numba, so we're looking forward to getting thumbs-on with Mouse About. It's available now on the App Store for the bargain price of £1.79.

Meanwhile, the iPhone section of CobraMobile's website reveals the developer has five more games on the way for Apple's handset. Anthem USA, Stuck!, Low Grav Racer, Fortune's Wheel and Cobra Karting are all listed as 'coming soon'.
