Double Fine Announces New Game For Leap Motion Controller
Today Double Fine announced a new game designed to take advantage of Leap Motion's impressive gesture-based controller.
Just last week Leap Motion announced that its motion controller would be available for PC and Mac starting in May. The Leap Motion Controller has been lauded for its sensitivity, which is reportedly able to recognize finger movements to 1/100th of a millimeter, as well as its $80 price tag.
Apparently Double Fine is a fan of the new technology, announcing today a new "music-driven score challenge game" called Dropchord. An iOS version is also planned, though Dropchord will debut on Airspace, Leap Motion's dedicated app store.
The official website for Dropchord states that the game will be playable at South by Southwest and PAX East, so you can expect to hear more about it later this month.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
