Brick People, a Japanese arcade game that involves stacking physical bricks against the screen of an arcade cabinet, is being re-imagined in touch-screen form for iOS devices.
“The concept of using actual bricks to play a video game is unique, but it’s instantly accessible, like handing somebody a set of blocks,” said Haruki Satomi, vice president of Digital Business at SEGA. “It’s a timeless activity that resonates with everybody, and we know it’s going to translate well to touch-screens.”
Features include:
- Tactile Gameplay: Build towers and bridges for the Brick People by pulling bricks from the stack and dropping them into place, using the iOS’ multi-touch interface
- Build with a Buddy: Compete head-to-head via Wi-Fi to out-build your friends, or compete on a single device in the iPad version
- See How You Stack Up: Build your Brick People reputation by going for high scores on the Game Center leaderboards, and tweet your tallest towers
Brick People is due for release this autumn, for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
