Mimeo and the Kleptopus King is a new iPhone game being worked on by Shaun Inman, creator of the great 8-bit title, Horror Vacui. The game gives homage to classic video games, with a twist—instead of enhancing the player, power ups in the game enhance the resolution of the world around him. Check out the homepage and hit refresh a few times for a sample.
The app is being developed under a MakeWork grant and should be available by the holidays. I’ve had the privilege of seeing some of the design over the past month on Dribbble, and I gotta say: The details are going to be fantastic. Check Shaun’s Flickr for a nice little video archive of the game’s progress.
Ramp Champ ($1.99 on the App Store) is a new iPhone game from the IconFactory and DS Media Labs. It has a gorgeous custom UI and fantastic marketing, with all the charm of a classic boardwalk game.
Art Of The Arcade is a new tumblog detailing the design decisions of arcade systems in the 70s and 80s.
