The excellent arcade game Duet is Apple's free game of the week and Grab It has the an exclusive making of feature on the game in its digital mag.
Tommy Daniels: "I feel like this is what addiction gaming should feel like: a pleasant experience that’s more akin to a meditative state than a mad rush to beat last round’s high score. For those looking for smoothly contemplative game that you just can’t stop playing, Duet is a must have."

When I was a little less than a hour into the game, I had thought of a perfect opening to the review. It encapsulated the experience in short, pretty sentences. Due to the addictive nature of the game, I held off my review and continued playing. When I had clocked two hours, I thought of another great way to open my review; only to later revise it when I had spent nearly three hours into it. Now that I'm pushing four hours (at the time of writing this review) into a game that had already finished in the first sixty minutes, there's only one best way to summarise the experience that is Duet: it is akin to hearing a sonata being created; watching a sunrise or sunset; witnessing for the first time the Aurora Borealis. In short, Duet is magic, and it is every bit as beautiful as the one perfect summer day spent with your bestest friend in the whole world - for even the memory of this game is true and encouraging.
Duet Game, or simply Duet if you’re an Android device user, is a title by Kumobius, which is available on both Apple’s iTunes Store and the Google Play Store. The game promises a mesmerizing trance of co-dependence as you control two vessels in sync, survive against all odds, and keep calm. But why call a game that doesn’t involve any singing Duet? As Kumobius explains, the two vessels are both in sync, in a dance and song between two entities tethered together in symbiosis. Your goal is to keep calm through eight nerve-wracking chapters, and believe us, this game can be very challenging as you keep the vessels away from danger. If those snippets from the game’s description sound too daunting, or if you’ve already been playing sometime but have gotten stuck somewhere, the following Duet Game cheats, tips and tricks should help you get out of the rut.
Excellent game, well worth picking up if you have not already.
I've heard some pretty fantastic things about duet but never tried it out. Well I guess I have no excuse now!
NOOO! I can already see my free time dwindling away before my eyes, This game has that same insta-retry feel as One More Line, and its far too addictive for my feeble mind.
A great simple idea, well-executed. Good addition to anyone's puzzle folder
So this is what addiction is...
