@Nimblebit, the developers behind the well loved iPad title Dizzypad<\/a>, plus other iPhone-based games such as SkyBurger<\/a> and Scoops<\/a>, have today released a new video<\/a> for its next game headed to iPhone. <\/p>\n

Dubbed Omium, the game will involve two players<\/a>. One which takes control over the little spaceship, and the other taking control of spawning different sized “bad guys” in an attempt to defeat the spaceship. <\/p>\n

As noted by the video commentary, there is no way for the player controlling the spaceship to win, which may at first seem a little stupid, but as explained the game is not about the ‘winning’, but instead trying to beat each-others best times. <\/p>\n

Simple in its approach, Omium follows the simplistic but addictive nature of Nimblebit’s other titles, which the studio is now mainly becoming known for.<\/p>\n

There are 3 different game modes included in Omium by default:<\/p>\n

Dodge<\/strong> – The Bad Guys win when one of them touches the ship. The ship can shoot Bad Guys to make them smaller until they pop out of existence.<\/p>\n

Juggle<\/strong> – The Bad Guys win when one of them reaches the bottom of the screen or touches the ship. The ship must constantly shoot the Bad Guys into the air to make sure they don\u2019t reach the bottom!<\/p>\n

Infinite<\/strong> – Similar to Dodge except that the Bad Guys wrap around to the top of the screen once they reach the bottom. The ship has better ammo in this mode that destroys the Bad Guys faster but this ammo costs more so make sure to save it up.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
