Danish developers, Sybo Games, have launched their manic cab driving game, Cosmic Cab, on iPad and iPhone…oh, did I mention your customers are actually aliens and you’re driving through space? Cosmic Cab is a tilt-based driving game; that is you tilt your device to steer around the levels. As you are in space, the tracks are not flat but more circular, in fact they are tunnels. But with pitfalls and impatient customers awaiting your arrival, players will need to be quick witted with their tilts and turns. You earn cash by collecting antimatter and, like in Crazy Taxi, get tips by breaking the safety regulations and getting to the destination faster. There are 25 tracks and several different cars to unlock, as well as some humorous alien garble to listen to in between fares.
“The idea was to create this crazy universe, where aliens drive around in cabs in outer space. Players immediately get sucked into the twisting tubes on the hyperspeed highway by tilting and tapping their phone while using ramps to jump across huge chasms of the infinite cosmos”, says game developer Bodie Jahn-Mulliner.
Cosmic Cab is available to download right now from the Apple App Store for US$ 0.99 / 0.79 €.
