iQuarters ’til Thursday

iQuarters: Coming June 3, 2010!

You didn’t think it was just going to be magnification/enhancement apps, did you?

Let’s face facts, here.  Focus Pocus is awesome -- in fact, it’s the best damn magnifier app we’ve ever seen for the iPhone 3GS -- but this is Incredible Technologies and making games is what we do.  That “we” I speak of is certainly not me, it’s the 100 or so geeked out visionaries that hide in the darkest, most creative cubes here at IT.  Don’t let the toys on their desk fool you -- these people are sharp and when the opportunity to develop mobile apps was green-lighted, they couldn’t wait to prove their chops in this brave new iWorld.  Where to begin, you ask?

Ah ha, my friend -- we hide no secrets for our affinity for bar games.  I mean come on, Golden Tee Golf, Silver Strike Bowling, Target Toss Pro, Power Putt, the list goes on….  We make games that are fun, easy-to-learn-and-hard-to-master and most of all, social!  (yes, social is a nice way to say for tavern folk)

iQuarters is spill and choke-hazard free!

iQuarters is an innovative take on that old drinkin’ game we’ve all played at some juncture of our lives -- but this is no drinking game.  Sure, we could have put some sort of phony, virtual beer to chug in the game but we thought your hard earned iTunes store dollars should be spent on something that’s actually fun!  What our developers set out do is start with this basics of “quarters” as you know it and reengineer the game to be fun on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.  In iQuarters, you don’t just simply bounce off of a table into a shot glass, instead you flick quarters through 12 action-packed bar scenes.  You control the trajectory of your quarter, as well as the speed/angle at which it’s shot.  You’re given 40 quarters and you’re goal is to sink three shots in each of the 12 levels.   Whether you play straight through for the easy shots, or seek out the amazing tricks and ricochets is completely up to you.  The harder, more intricate the shot, the more points you earn.

But don’t let me do all the talkin’ here, just watch the video above -- remember, this blog is meant to cut through the marketing drivel, straight to brass tacks.  So, here they are -- debuts June 3, it’s only $1.99 and frankly, it’s bad ass -- you’ll love it.

In the coming weeks I hope to get the actual creators of the game on here so you can find out just how one embarks on a creative journey of quarter-bouncing mania.  Our office manager is still irritated by what they did to our conference room table…

So mark your calendars and get ready, iQuarters is available Thursday, June 3rd.  To learn more, visit the official ITme website!
