After being featured at Apple’s annual WWDC (World Wide Developer’s Conference) back in June, Pangea Software have gone from strength to strength. With physics-based port Enigmo [App Store], caveman racer Cro-mag Rally [App Store,], and the colourful adventure game Bugdom 2 [App Store]. On Saturday came their 7th title. Antimatter. The firm describes the new addition to their line as being a ‘twitch arcade game with puzzle elements’ Hit the jump for a quick video look …
The aim of the game is simple. You are a piece of ‘Anti-matter’ in outer space (the blob). In order to survive you have to activate cosmic strands of ‘Blue’ matter. Successful activation is shown by turning the string from blue to red. Throughout the game, you’ll encounter various ‘power-ups’ of which some will help you, and others will hinder.
With the game being ‘physics-based’ you’ll find your blob of anti-matter has it’s own weight, and this effects the way you control it. For 59p, the game is well worth the plunge, hurry though – this is said to be introductory pricing!
Visuals & Sound
Stunning. There is no other word for it. 59p, and possibly the most visually pleasing game-play on the store to date. Couple this with the cleverly selected space-themed music, and you have a recipe for success.

Pangea’s previous titles have all been ‘ports’ from other platforms, but Antimatter is the first to be built from the ground up with iPhone in mind – and they have no plans what-so-ever to bring Antimatter to other platforms anytime soon.
