Mystery Enshrouds ‘Blast-A-Way’

Nothing builds hype for a game like mystique, and there’s plenty of it to go around surrounding Blast-A-Way , the upcoming title from Illusion Labs .

Not much is known about Blast-A-Way other than that the developers are billing it as an action adventure puzzler.  No official press assets for the game exist yet.  There are no screenshots , no videos, no press releases.  Nothing.

In fact, the only reason we know Blast-A-Way even exists is because the developers recently teased about it on their Twitter with the above screenshot, which they say is a screenshot from the fourteenth level of the game.

There are no specifics about the gameplay as of yet.  So many games have been “action adventure puzzlers” that the term could mean literally anything.  Any one guess is as good as the next, though I personally think it looks a little bit like Little Big Planet .

There is also very little information regarding tech specifics.  All we know is that the game will require at least third generation hardware, meaning iPads, iPhone 3GS or better and iPod Touch 3G or higher.  This also comes to us from Illusion Labs’ Twitter.

Illusion Labs is known for being one of the first developers to take full advantage of the iPhone’s technical capabilities.  Their titles Touch Grind and Labyrinth made great use of the multi-touch interface and the accelerometer respectively, and it’s no exaggeration to say that they pioneered the way for the modern generation of iOS titles.

There’s no solid release date for Blast-A-Way at the moment (surprise), but according to the developer’s website, it should hit the App Store sometime at the end of this month.  Until then, keep your eyes on IGM Mobile for the latest on what is sure to be another great game from one of the most revolutionary developers on the iOS.
