NaturalMotion Games has recently announced Icebreaker Hockey - an "intense action arcade hockey game" that is set to hit the App Store this June 2, and will be available for $2.99.
According to a press release that recently hit the Web, Icebreaker Hockey uses "morpheme" - a "graphically authorable animation engine" that provides the application with stunning graphics.
Features of the app include Game Center support (leaderboards and achievements), two different gameplay modes and three levels of difficulty. As outlined in the press release:
Apparently, Icebreaker Hockey uses a mixture of on-screen buttons and accelerometer controls in order to achieve this ice-like experience.
