Your iPhone Has Been Spanked

Our first mobile application is now available! Aquaspank represents a fun little excursion from our regular work here at 8monkey. It has been a chance for some members of our team to try a new platform, solve some new problems, and just generally do something completely different. We were all surprised by how fast the iPhone actually is; it’s been a while since we looked at any mobile platforms and the difference from just a few years ago is striking. Aquaspank is able to draw up to about a thousand blended, textured, particles on screen at once in addition to a refraction effect and a basic physics sim on each bubble. We hit the limit on pixel fill long before the CPU became a factor, so there’s probably even more room to play with there. This should be an interesting platform to keep an eye on to be sure.

You can view screenshots and details on Aquaspank at our games page here.

If you’re already sold and just want to get the game, then head on over to the store:
