The trend for Loco Roco-inspired graphics and gameplay continues apace on the App Store.

The latest game to choose pastel colours and bouncy, circular characters is iBlast Moki from Godzilab.

Like Rolando, it brings neat physics to the touchscreen as you have to use a combination of timed explosives and objects such as ropes, rising balloons and rotating wheels to blow up and move the Moki characters in such a way that they end up falling into each level's warp.

The bomb controls look particularly good as you get a line to manipulate that shows you the direction in which your explosion will fire a Moki, plus rotational controls to set the time when the bomb should go off - important when you're building up multiple sequences.

Throw in 70 levels spread across six themed worlds, and various physical objects, which enable you to construct complex interactions, and this is a game we're definitely looking forward to.

Indeed, iBlast Moki will also come with a full level editor so you can make your own tricky puzzles and share them online.

And it will use ngmoco's Plus+ social networking platform so you can share high scores and send challenges to your friends.

Everything but the kitchen sink then.

You can see how it all works in the video below.
