“2012 Secrets” Almost Completed!

We are approaching the completion of our title “2012 Secrets” and are very excited about it…obviously!

“2012 Secrets” is a game that we are creating in collaboration with the world renowned author Lawrence E. Joseph who wrote the bestseller “Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into the End of Civilization”.

This game will feature 10 levels, each with a super stylized image of the upcoming apocalypse. In each level the gamer has to find a total of 20 objects that are well hidden inside the image. The goal is, under time pressure, to identify all of the objects; if time runs out, the level is reset and the game starts anew.

In between levels the gamer will learn interesting facts about the apocalypse that were provided by the author himself.

We soon will release the first screenshots!

About irockgames!

irockgames was founded a few months ago by a group of developers, producers and designers from the U.S., Switzerland, Japan, Germany, Argentina, and France to create entertaining iPhone & iPod Touch video games.

voro was the first idea of the group and was also the first game that was published by irockgames just this month. In the meantime the company has been working on three more games that will all be released in the near future:

- “2012 Secrets” (a hidden objects game in collaboration with the best-selling author Lawrence E. Joseph)

- “Space Destruction” (working title, an arcade style space ship game this will come out in August)

- “Loser Cards” (a card game for everyone)

Where ever possible, irockgames is trying to produce games that are good for your gray matter. For example, in voro the goal is to match shapes in different colors as quickly as possible and make them explode by tapping them (sounds like an IQ Test, right?).

VORO - Background Info

It took us a total of almost four months to develop voro. It started out with a simple idea and turned into a pretty big production in which developers from Japan, France, Germany and the U.S. joined forces to make this game a reality.

One of the bigger obstacles we had to overcome in mid-production was to figure out how to destroy shapes in a quick and fun way. Initially, the gamer would have to drag shapes into the center just in time when the right center shape appeared (that’s also where the idea for the name “voro”, which means “swallow” in Latin, came from), but then we realized that that took way too long and even became unrealistic as soon as the center shape started switching faster. Fortunately enough we were able to solve the problem by just tapping the screen.
