Heya touchArcade! I'd like to take this moment to announce Wispin, coming soon to iPhone & iPod Touch! This is the first release by spunky new independent developer, Grumpyface Studios! Coming to the App store THIS THURSDAY 11/18/2010! ** TouchArcade Hands-On Impressions by Jared! ** [hqyoutube]xcWFe4D-tnQ[/hqyoutube] Wispin is a fast-paced arcade title featuring unique "color-based" gameplay. Use the innovative "Touch Color Wheel" to change the color of Wispin's aura on the fly and gain special immunities and offensive abilities! But beware, your choice of color contains weaknesses as well! Quick thinking will be needed to triumph over a quirky cast of enemy characters, each sporting unique attributes of their own... - Two control schemes: Full tilt controls ,or digital joystick/d-pad! - HD Retina Graphics & Game Center Leaderboards! - Two play modes featuring endless gameplay! How long can you survive the Blooper onslaught and just how high can your score climb?! - Wacky items and two intense combo systems (speed kills and color combos!) - Color Blind and Left-handed Control Support - Totally fun on a bun! - COMING SOON! (Q4, 2010!)

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Definitely working on showing some gameplay very soon, so look for these posts to be updated
Character introductions & Animations Hey guys, we're still working on the first gameplay trailer, but in the meantime we'd like to share some animations and a fun little introduction to some of the characters. Enjoy! Follow the Wispin development blog at: http://grumpyfacestudios.blogspot.com
Looks awesome, can't wait to see some gameplay either. Love the art. Great screenshots go a long way towards selling a game imo.
Thanks for the support, everyone! In other news: I've been getting asked a lot about how exactly the game plays, and at the moment we're holding back for a little bit longer on those details, but we plan to have a more thorough gameplay-related update soon. However, I can reveal that the game does give the option for either analogue 'stick' controls OR full tilt controls!
No idea how I missed the post with the characters and details about them. Can't freakin' wait for this.
As a fellow dev of a "colour based" game, I've gotta say this looks fantastic! I once tried to flesh out an idea for a platformer/battle mechanic based on colours, but never got really far. I'm excited to see how this works. The art is great with tons of character, really well done.
Hey peeps! Sorry for the delay in updates, but I am very excited to finally share the Wispin Debut Trailer!! Please let us know what you think and if you have any questions! Enjoy! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Trailer is absolutely EPIC. I love everything about the game, from the great, cute character art, to the bright and bold colours. Plus, who doesn't like using cheese as a decoy? Amazing... So please tell me it's coming soon?
Can't thank you enough, Sammy! Really appreciate the support! We're holding off just a bit longer on announcing an official release date until we finish a few additional development tasks and apply a bit more polish, but I can tell you that all signs point to an early Quarter 4 (2010) release.
