Infinite Lives — [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] I’m really, really bad at Eliss, the multi-touch plate-spinning game for iPhone. I think my failure falls somewhere in my personal Venn intersection of shortsightedness, panic, and a total lack of coordination. You’re nodding and thinking to yourself, “Stop worrying!

Games for Lunch — Developer: Steph Thirion Publisher: Apple Release Date: March 9, 2009 System: iPhone/iPod Touch Apple Rating: 4+ Official Web site In a nutshell: Who knew pulling apart planets could be so fun? 0:00 I've heard a ton of great stuff about this little iPhone puzzler, but its appearance on Crispy's Mid-Season Videogame All-Stars sealed the deal and got my $3. I don't doubt it'll be worth it. 0:01 A small red dot sprouts a long black antenna, which bursts into a blocky "ELISS" title, ...

TIGSource — This caught my eye. It’s an old workshop (2007) led by Steph Thirion, who created the iPhone game Eliss. In the workshop, Steph gave students the source code for a simple Breakout game (made with Processing) and had ...
