First trailer and details of the Canabalt-style ‘rComplex’ – originally released on PC in 2009, and now reimagined for iOS.
Like Canabalt, and many other auto-run platformers on the AppStore, rComplex is a continous running game, where you must guide a silhouetted character over and under on-coming obstacles as he attempts to escape the clutches of darkness that follows closely behind.
The origin of your situation is unknown and why the darkness is after you is un-clear. Along the way you must piece together events that lead to your current situation which unfold seamlessly in the midst of play. As well as quick reactions for jumping and sliding, you also have a weapon to hand. Apparently though your firepower is limited, and so it should only be used as a last resort to escape your impending doom.
The game uses Unity3D for its graphics, and it boasts a silhouetted look reminiscent of Limbo on Xbox, and the colour-coded obstacles of Mirror’s Edge iOS.
The game is scheduled for a February release. In the meantime, check out the trailer below:
