Accelerometer-based non-shooting shmup Phoenix Spirit floating towards iPhone
Forest exploration game coming May 17th
The Mother Tree has fallen ill, so it's up to you to find the cure and save the forest.
Phoenix Spirit swoops in to save the day, exploring the lush green surroundings and gaining new powers to rid his home of evil.
Corny for sure, but there's gameplay interest here too.
Playing out like a traditional flying shooter (but without the shooting), Phoenix must navigate the grassy areas, finding new powers and unlocking pathways, as you use accelerometer controls to guide him.
The emphasis is on exploring, with huge levels to traverse and gorgeous environments to discover.
Check out the video below for a glimpse of what to expect.
Phoenix Spirit will be available for the iPhone on May 17th.
