With more than 1.4 million downloads of its highly popular gaming app Shift, successful developer Fishing Cactus has designed and released a brand new app for the iPhone called Minim. By working in tandem with another developer, Atomic Ciccada, the developers have built a flash based puzzle game that they believe will be hot property in the mobile gaming market. Using a science oriented approach, the companies hope to draw in a more hard science crowd that makes up a major segment of users for the popular Apple device.
Players will work their way through 50 unique levels in the full version of the game, which retails for $1.99 in the Apple App Store. Game play involves the opposite of most games where the goal is to increase the score or gather loot and powers. In Minim, players start with a chemistry set which they will use to combine various substances in such a way that they gradually reduce the elements in play. By combining connected atoms, players work to eradicate molecules and minimize down to subatomic particles until there is only a single particle left in play. This unique twist is expected to grab the attention of gamers looking for a different experience than they are used to.
