For the asking price, and given the game’s nice unlockable audio and difficulty settings, we like what’s here it doesn’t have quite the style or depth of Tilt to Live, but it’s a nice throwback game with atypically responsive touch controls. I bought the app and look at all the new features I could find. Apart from the Retina Display support, the bitmapped and light vector graphics are deliberately primitive similarly, the chiptune music has post-8-bit energy with restricted NES-style instruments, following in the retro theme. A new version of Artrage for the ipad called, Artrage Vitae is now available on the App Store. While the underlying concept of Bit Pilot is even simpler than Asteroids-there’s no shooting to worry about, just steering-the Tilt to Live-like challenge of avoiding an increasingly crowding collection of obstacles inside the box is entertaining, and three game modes switch up the challenges: the basic game described above has multiple difficulty levels, Tunnels starts you with tons of big rocks that require precision dodging, and Supermassive shrinks your view of the ship and introduces lots of tiny rocks to steer around. Individual layers can be maintained at varying levels of opacity, blended together in different ways, and then merged down. For more information, see Facebook: or Twitter: ArtRage.

Paint can be given your choice of varying degrees of metallic luster, and most of the tools can be tapped to change their size and other characteristics, resulting in the appearance of 3-D depth, moisture, and mixed materials. Using a straight-line left-of-screen toolbar rather than the bottom corner arc found on the Mac app, ArtRage provides access to oil, watercolor, airbrush, palette knife, paint roller, paint tube, inking pen, pencil, marker, chalk, crayon, eraser, and flood fill tools, many of which sound self-evident but actually work better than their common names would suggest.Īmbient Design lets strokes trail off and in some cases tracks pressure, impacts on canvas texture, and surface wetness, resulting in digital art that actually looks more like physical art. Having previously tested the significantly more expensive Mac application ArtRage Studio Pro, the biggest surprises in Ambient Design’s iPad painting app ArtRage ($7, version 1.1.6) are how much of the look and feel of the OS X version remain intact on Apple’s tablet-and how much the experience improves simply by adding a touchscreen interface.
