The Box Fort moves slowly onto the App Store with iPad game Snail Break
Tilt your snail
Here's neat-looking debut from another brand new start up, The Box Fort.
Called Snail Break, it's an accelerometer-based iPad game, in which you have to tilt your pad to successfully move your snails through the obstacles and hazards of the kitchen table - salt, knives, flames, pans of boiling water etc - to avoid them becoming escargot.
People interested in how games are made should also check out the team's blog, which nicely breaks down some elements of its workflow.
As for the game, it's available for iPad, priced $1.99, €1.59 or £1.49.
