Everyone’s favorite glass-encased-monkey game is coming to the iPhone. We had a quick glimpse of the game during the “iPhone Software Roadmap Event,“ but Sega has released more details at the recent WWDC. 110 stages have been developed since we had our first look, and the game allows users to play as any of the four characters (AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and GonGon).
The aim of the game is to guide your monkey (ball) around various platforms, ultimately aiming to reach the goal. In the iPhone version of the game, users must guide the monkey by tilting the iPhone ,which in turn tilts the platforms, thanks to the built-in accelerometer. Graphically, the game is looking excellent for a mobile orientated release, rivaling graphics seen on the handheld portable gaming device, the Nintendo DS.
Sega didn’t state how much the game would cost, but some predict that iPhone games could cost as little as $10 for a full blown game, a decent price undercutting most games available for other portable gaming machines. The game is expected to be released when the iPhone App Store becomes available in early July.
