Glyder glides onto your iPhone, casually.
Wrapping up Glu Mobile’s five game grand slam is their more casual title, Glyder. The game has you gliding around various worlds with a pair of wings on your back. Glu described it as a character who is stuck in the world, and who must collect gems to make it home.” The concept is simple, but the game itself looks to be quite challenging, as it features about 50 achievements that are scattered throughout 6 worlds.
According to Glu, when you collect enough gems to advance to the next world, you can literally just fly to it… no loading times. This is pretty impressive, especially for a game of it’s graphical quality on the iPhone. You can’t die in the game, and there is no way to lose gems. It’s very much designed to be played as a casual and relaxing experience. To be honest, this game looks very polished for a casual title. Actually, it looks great for ANY kind of title.
Since you’re gliding in the game, you will be dipping and diving to gain speed and momentum. There are also things like hot vents to give you some altitude. This one will be out for a mere $1.99 sometime early April.
