GameZebo: Fingle is one of those weird apps that’s not quite a game, but really more of an experiment or experience. It’s like a non-competitive take on Twister. But with your hands. There’s no real scoring system, and no winner. Maybe it’s not a game per se, but when you’re in it, there’s no doubt that you’re definitely “playing” it.
"This year on Valentine's Day, why not treat yourself and your significant other to a two-player tablet game?"
GamaSutra - A year before Fingle's release, Bojan and I had just finished a game on a big multi-touch table that invited people to play at the same time on the same device. We were showcasing the game at some event and I noticed that when people would accidentally touch each others hands, they would immediately back-off and be like 'ewww, I touched someone's hands!'. This was Fingle's initial inspiration and eventually its common awkward response.
Fingle is a game about touching people. Your friends, strangers, someone you have a crush on, someone you hate. No matter who they are, if you’re playing Fingle with them then you’ll be touching them.
