I get far too excited when I see a game that offers to give my reflexes a good roasting. You know the games I'm on about: Boson X, Pivvot, Super Hexagon, Expander, and the like.

Why not add another one to the pot?

Say hello to DUET. This is the next game from Kumobius, who previously gave us the Silver Award-winning Time Surfer. Now, it seems that the developer is entering the crowded world of minimalist, difficult, shape-dodging games.

Your job in DUET is to keep two flying vessels, which are locked together in symbiosis, from colliding with simple, spinning geometry.

There will be nine compositions provided by Tim Shiel, who is a member of Gotye's live band. Hopefully they'll aid your swirling evasions by absorbing you into the rhythm.

If you do fail (and you're bound to), then it will be marked by a splat across the shape you ran into. That's what you need, isn't it? A constant reminder of your previous failings.

We're quite excited about getting our hands on DUET, and hope to able to soon. All we know about the game's release right now is that it will be heading to iOS.
