Steppin out on the iPhone

Let your fingers do the walkin'

So many devs have been concentrating on bringing the iPhone in line with the other consoles and gaming systems, and while it's great to see the recognisable genres being catered for, we do like to see a bit of ingenuity that plays directly to the strengths of Apple's handset.

That'd be stuff like Steppin, I suppose.

Steppin puts you out on the pond, in a desperate rush to make the bank without getting your fingers wet. Using the multi-touch system, you're required to 'run' along the lily pads using, your fingers, as fast as possible. Missing any lily pads awards you a one second penalty, so careful, well, steppin' is required to shore up the fastest times.

Currently there's only a free 'Lite' version to whet our appetites, but the full Steppin game is promised pretty soon and will feature a host of other hot-steppin' concepts like hop scotch, ice flow, rock climbing and lava flow.

Hit the 'Track It!' button to hear when the full version of Steppin strides out onto the App Store, and in the meantime, check out the gameplay video below and pick up the Lite version over here.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
