Llamasoft's Jeff Minter has a great presence on the App Store with psychedelic arcade games such as: Minotaur Rescue, Minotron 2112, and Deflex. He has been on the gaming scene for decades and is a big name among developers on any platform. The iOS scene provides the perfect platform for his style of psychedelic arcade games with a retro feel.
These games are characterized by glowing lights, addictive albeit repetitive gameplay, simple and action-focused controls, and level progression. The games sometimes have an infinite number of levels based on random generation. The goal is to beat your own high score through tallying points up after you lose your lives.
He recently unveiled his next project with footage of some of the gameplay elements. The footage shows a psychedelic goat jumping around a level and eating grass. It looks like players will be controlling the goat across horizontal rows while the level shifts upwards. The game shares a similar art style with Jeff's earlier iOS games. Look for more info soon, meanwhile the embedded trailer can be seen here.
