Tricky Software announces Armado for iPhone

Tricky Software, the developer behind Spore Origins, says it has submitted its next iPhone game, which is currently pending approval in the App Store. Armado is remake of the Mac/PC title of the same name, where players take on the role of Armado the armadillo. Armado is an unsuspecting hero who ends up in the middle of an adventure, taking him from woodlands and snow to volcanic mountains. The engine, artwork and controls have all been overhauled to fit the iPhone's capabilities.

Armado is capable of running, jumping and rolling. Movement is controlled by tilting the iPhone, and the degree of the tilt determines which movement is used. Tapping anywhere on the screen causes the character to jump, and double-tapping perfoms a slightly higher jump. Planned pricing for the game is being kept private.
