Described by developer Cipher Prime as the “polychromatic love child of Dr. Mario and Ikaruga”, Intake puts you against wave after wave of cascading pills with catchy music tracks as you use powerups and quick reflexes to ensure no more than a few reach the bottom of the screen heralding a game over. If you’re wondering where you’ve heard of Cipher Prime, they’re the same dev group responsible for the abstract indie hits Splice and Fractal with their latest effort Intake certainly being one of the more approachable of the lot.
Cipher Studios has announced their pill crushing point-based game is coming to iPad2 and higher on May 1st for $2.99. This version will support multitouch gameplay, saves to cloud and integrate leaderboards and achievements from Game Center.
Hardcore Gamer: Cipher has revamped the gameplay to better accommodate the multitouch platform, and the iOS version will contain all the features and content of the original release.
Gamezone: "Face-melting, brain-bursting, euphoria-oozing catharsis. That seems to be the basis behind the very existence of Intake, the latest project from developer Cipher Prime. Responsible for titles such as the serene puzzler Splice and the wondrous music game Auditorium, the studio is now changing things up and entering different territory yet again. Thankfully, like its previous endeavors, Cipher Prime has managed to once again deliver a riveting experience with Intake, a loud, frenetic, intense arcade shooter bent on lighting the nerve endings in your brain on fire."
