Your probably wondering why in the video it says &#8216;For iPhone and iPhone Touch&#8217; &#8211; Why does it say iPhone Touch? &#8211; I really have no idea myself. -_-<\/p>\n<p>Developed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gclue.com\/?aid=002\">GClue Inc<\/a>, and new to the App Store, Plasma [<a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=291582559&#038;mt=8\">App Store<\/a>] is a highly polished, quite frenzied and in some ways addictive shooter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gameplay<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing your finger as a means of launching a missile, you must destroy various flying plasma globules floating out in space. However, there is a catch. There are two types of plasma, the good kind and the other kind. &#8216;Good&#8217; plasma is identifiable via it being blue and red in colour, while the other kind (the kind not so good for you or your score) is marked in red.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Hurry though, if a globule of plasma manages to get past you and go out of view, your current score will take a dive. Hit the other kind of plasma? &#8211; and watch your score fall again. Game play becomes rather frenzied as Plasma notices you are gaining further in points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Plasma in Action:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1964398&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1964398&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visuals<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough not &#8216;spectacular&#8217;, for 59p coupled with the inviting method of game play, the visuals of this title are satisfactory.
