French mobile gaming developers Int13 have released a preview of their upcoming iPhone touchscreen release CrazyKart which is slated for July. Apparently the game was originally developed for Windows Mobile and Synbian, and they’re in the process of porting it to run on the iPhone.
This game includes multiple vehicles and characters and the ability to download more options from the web. The interesting thing to me is seeing what looks like a really usable interface for touchscreen gaming. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding mobile gaming on the iPhone since the SDK release. I think the real challenge is balancing features and controls within such tight screen real estate. It appears that Int13 may have met the challenge in this racing game.
Another cool feature in CrazyKart is a multiplayer option via wifi. This approach could really help to promote casual multiplayer gaming, a potentially broader market than the handheld gaming market. Could the iPhone become the Wii of handheld gaming?
