Some time ago, I contacted Soma Games, a new developer in the portable market, about any titles they had in the queue for release. I previously covered their game G when it was little more than concept art and an idea.
Soma Games released G a little while back and I had a chance to test it out and see if the game matched the plans of the developers. Safe to say, it is an unexpected and awesome surprise considering the bulk of what is on the iTunes Apps Store.

It is well known that the iPhone has already established itself as the cell phone for this generation. At the same time, Apple’s iPod Touch became the mp3 player with its multi-functionality, essentially an iPhone-Lite. With major developers and publishers forced to cut staff and fiscal projections dramatically destroyed, there is a new bastion for many gamers – the independents and the Apple Apps Store. Soma Games is currently in the production of G, an iPhone game in the same element as Gravity Wars.

In this age of gaming, trying to find something truly new and innovative is more difficult than trying to play Crysis with the minimum system requirements. Fortunately for us, indie game developers have taken it upon themselves to recreate dying genres, invent new ones, and bring back the classic feel to video games. One such amazing indie developed game is Crayon Physics Deluxe.
