It's like a big ol' iPhone.
...The game has one simple mechanic: an object on the screen (either a laser light or a mouse or, in the latest update, a butterfly) moves around the screen in lifelike patterns, enticing the cat to touch it. Cats are scored on their performance, and the game even incorporates Game Center, to make sure kitty's best scores are saved for all to see.
More good news for Adventure fans. Following the recently kickstarted Double Fine Adventure, another fine alum of the genre, Jordan Mechner, has announced that his seminal cult-favorite, The Last Express, is coming on iOS devices later this year.1
Published by Brøderbund in 1997, The Last Express is a point-and click adventure that put the player on board the Orient Express in July 1914, crossing Europe on the eve of World War I. It pushed the boundaries of interactive narrative in ways that no other game has done before or since.2

With the iPad going on sale, the epoch of Nintendo is finished... but with the DS and the Wii, it’s been digging its own grave.
