The app requires the device to use the portrait or landscape orientation. This feature is a superset of the feature. Repeatedly illustrating with a hearseload of case studies that 'final resting place' is a relative term, Lovejoy (a contributing writer for the Schotts Almanac series) digs up a litany of strange-but-true tales of the postmortem adventures of all manner of famous corpses throughout history. The app uses the device's advanced multitouch capabilities for tracking two or more points independently. The app uses the device's basic two-point multitouch capabilities, such as for pinch gestures, but the app does not need to track touches independently. The app uses the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telephony radio system. The app uses 802.11 networking (Wi-Fi) features on the device. It’s just that all the fantastic aesthetics do a lot to heighten my enjoyment even further than if this was just another cutesy mobile game.Allows applications to open network sockets.Īllows applications to access information about networks.Īllows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.Īllows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting.Īllows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a case of style over substance as the gameplay in Rest in Pieces is really compelling.

The creepy soundtrack and the deep contrasts in lighting coupled with the almost angelic glow and shine of the porcelain figures is just too cool. The first time the giant clown boss in the opening level honked its horn and the entire screen shook I almost wet myself. As I said, this game is unsettling and creepy in every way. Really what does it for me with Rest in Pieces though is the presentation. Coming to grips with the physics and momentum is one of the best parts about Rest in Pieces, and the developers really nailed the “feel' of everything in this regard. Even in the short time I’ve been playing this game I can’t count how many times I’ve been swinging too aggressively only to see my little figure careening right towards an obstacle and there’s nothing I can do to stop the figure’s momentum, so I just watch in almost slow motion as you might watch a car wreck as my figure helplessly shatters to pieces.

You’ll have to take momentum into account so you’ll have to learn how to control how hard you want to swing. Touch either side of the screen to swing in that direction and avoid hitting any obstacles with your extremely fragile porcelain figure.

What’s nice about Rest in Pieces is that it keeps things simple mechanically. This game is downright unsettling, and I love it.

Well, this week Rest in Pieces finally released and actually seeing this game in motion in person has far surpassed everything I was hoping for. It also did something actually different with the behind-the-back runner formula, with its pendulum-like swinging mechanic. Its dark, nightmarish environments contrasted with its delicate and innocent porcelain characters in a way that just stood out from so many other games out there. I loved the look of Itatake’s Rest in Pieces (Free) from the moment I laid eyes on the first screen shots. If you disagree with what we’ve chosen, let’s try to use the comments of these articles to have conversations about what game is your game of the week and why. These picks might be controversial, and that’s OK. Instead, it’s more just us picking out the single game out of the week’s releases that we think is the most noteworthy, surprising, interesting, or really any other hard to describe quality that makes it worth having if you were just going to pick up one. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn’t necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the highest scoring game in a review, the game with the best graphics, or really any other quantifiable “best' thing. The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to.
