NimbleBit Drops Another Moon Drop Gameplay Video
June 30, 2009
We witnessed NimbleBit's first gameplay demo video for their new casual game Moon Drop about a week ago, and today they released what looks to be the final gameplay video for the game since it is ready to be submitted to the App Store.
The goal of Moon Drop is to get as many lunar landing pods safely onto the surface of the moon as possible. The catch is that you won't be controlling each pod directly. To land the pods you will be touching general areas of the screen to sort of push the pods around. If your finger is located to the bottom left of a pod, the pod will fly up and to the right. The gameplay mechanic seems simple enough at first, but as multiple pods enter the screen, it becomes a fairly tricky affair as pods begin to scatter. Pods must also land at a slow enough speed so they don't just bury into the surface of the moon.
As with most NimbleBit games, Moon Drop will feature some sort of statistical tracking system and the ability to upload your scores to Twitter.
Moon Drop doesn't have an official release date or price yet, but we will do our best to keep you updated.
