Developed by Wunderkemmer, PixelSwarm is a trippy visualizer for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad which allows you to interact with the colour-filled visuals simply by touching the screen.
The universal app uses four different types of flying particle – orange, purple, electric blue and yellow, taking advantage of the iPad’s hardware acceleration, with the the app’s engine allowing you to create various different compositions of visually pleasing patterns.
The streams of coloured dust will obey your every move, making for a highly relaxing experience.
Relax and bliss out while playing with clouds of space dust! PixelSwarm is a particle system for the iPad (and iPhone!) that responds to your touch with beautiful swirls of colors and motion.
PixelSwarm has four types of particles all behaving in different ways, so you can experiment with touches and gestures to create all sorts of weird behaviors. Tap it, stroke it, press and hold multiple fingertips… Find stable orbits! Create washes of color! Toss dots from finger to finger and play catch! You’ll have to play to find out what it can do.
Disappointingly, PixelSwarm doesn’t move to your music. This app is specifically designed to be manually controlled. That said, the app doesn’t stop you playing music in the background while you tap, poke and pinch.
PixelSwarm is available now for $0.99.
