While the premise is simple, the game itself is completely fresh, thanks largely to the intuitive new game mechanic. The cows and aliens are manipulated by the users’ fingers, which pushes them away; the opposite of how a magnet would work. Users can use up to five fingers on the iPhone or iPod Touch, or up to eleven (bring a friend) points on the iPad. It may be easy at first, but if you’re going for a high scores, you’ll be in for a challenge!
This entry was first developed as part of an internal “hackathon” where developers and artists were allowed to spend three days creating anything they wanted.
The team that created the first “Cows vs Aliens” game were exploring this new way of interacting with a touch-based game and the grew organically around that premise.
