ArabCrunch posted today (Arabic version) a write-up on vimov and our products.
ArabCrunch is the leading destination for coverage of technology and startups in the Arab world, and has recently launched ArabCrunch.net, a much needed wiki-style database of companies, investors, products and people in the technology field in the Arab world.
Today, on June 14th, we demoed Exorcist at the 2009 DemoCampME, an event that promotes enterpeneurship, new ideas and technology adoption in the Middle East.
vimov was among a number of companies that presented their projects to investors, journalists, bloggers, and technology enthusiasts. We presented Exorcist, and towards it we received an overwhelming positive feedback, with many impressed of Exorcist being the first videogame for the iPhone in the Middle East.
We have been receiving very positive reviews on Exorcist in the past few days. Here are a select few:
“All in all Exorcist remains a gem of a game that should not be missed by any iTouch/Phone gamer looking for something different that simply cannot be reproduced on any other platform. There are different definitions as to what games “show off” the iTouch/Phone as a viable platform for games, but for my money games like Exorcist show just how this platform can be used to produce unique works available no where else.” - Spiffyone on the App Store
“Gameplay for this game is unique to the App Store, something we haven’t seen the likes of yet. It provides a unique experience to the App Store and isn’t just some copy of another app. It is pretty polished and runs smoothly.” - theone1007 at TouchArcade
“It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game.” - Sciuridae at TouchArcade
And, TheAppPodcast gave it a video review, and described the game as “very addicting”:
We are glad to announce that Exorcist, our first game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, has been released. After a long review process that lasted 15 years days, Exorcist is now available on the iTunes App Store.
Exorcist is a new engaging and creative puzzle game that employs the iPhone’s touch and accelerometer in a genuine gameplay that has never been done before. Use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a magic wand and complete spells in a challenging race against time.
We have put together a trailer for the game, you can watch it here:
