Joe Danger Hitting Mobile Devices
Developer Hello Games confirmed it will release an iOS and Android version of Joe Danger.
This version is a completely new game being built from the ground up for touch devices. Joe Danger is a game with a lot of depth to the controls. We want to make very much an arcade game on your mobile," Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray told Gamasutra.
"You swipe the screen to make Joe wheelie, you nudge him in the air to affect his gravity, you can flick a barrier out of the way, or wrestle with the shark in the shark tank. You have such control that levels that would be impossible on console are much easier on the touchscreen."
The team is currently only showing off the iOS version at PAX East this week. Hello Games is also finishing up the sequel, Joe Danger: The Movie for Xbox Live later this year.
