    Hi all,

    Enter-Brain-Ment is an independent game development studio located in Berlin. We are currently porting our Award Winning game Somersault for the iPhone.

    Somersault is an action platform game with really great graphics. We are re-designing and improving the graphics and are adding more game-features to the iPhone version. Our aim is to produce a high class game using all the possibilities the iPhone offers.

    The main features of the game are:
    • Intuitive and unique controls – draw a paddle on the screen to control the character, turn the mobile to change the view from portrait format to landscape, zoom in and out with 2 fingers
    • Full 3-D graphics
    • 20 levels in 6 different worlds with unique designs
    • A huge variety of enemies
    • Different power ups and abilities
    • Online high score + Twitter & Facebook connection

    Somersault will be released in February 2010.

    We would love to hear your first impression, opinions and/or feedback of any expectation you may hope to see.

    Cheers!

    Graphics are good, but I can't tell what you're supposed to do. Is it like Ignite where you draw the line to the next little stand?

    Hi,

    no its not like ignite. Basically you draw a paddle with your finger from which the character bounces. the longer you draw the paddle the higher he jumps.

    Thanks for your feedback guys!

    The goal of the game is basically like in a Jump`n`Run game. You have to get through the levels avoiding traps and beating enemies. We will have a BETA testing but so far we are not exactly sure when. I will post that on this forum though.

    Hi folks,

    we have been really busy lately with the development of Somersault. Today we present you our latest gameplay video with all the new elements we finished so far.

    You can see/hear:
    - 1 new level (nature world)
    - the menu screen
    - all levels with light- and shadowmaps
    - game elements like coins
    - the User Interface
    - new soundtrack for the nature world



    Enjoy! Feedback (positive as negative) is very welcome as we are still in the production process!

    In the next video you will see a little more action as we are going to present you some enemies and the ways to beat them.

    Somersault will be released in November 2009 so stay tuned!

    Thanks guys. We thought that maybe the new "coins" we put in are not good enough to notice. What do you think?

    Hi,

    we kept on working really hard the last weeks and tweaked the levels a bit more. Please have a look at the new graphics. We finally see the end coming and are hoping to submit in end of November! You will love the game!

    Enjoy!
