Paper Boat Race iPhone game to launch this Friday
Well blow me down
Mobile and online publisher I-play has announced that its latest iPhone game, Paper Boat Race, will be released on the App Store this Friday.
Developed by Musigames, the game lets you use the microphone to blow against your boat's sail and the accelerometer to avoid obstacles. The game is presented in 3D and provides online leaders and achievements with OpenFeint.
If you're playing on iPod touch, or just don't want to be seen blowing into your iPhone on a crowded train, you can use the optional touch controls.
As you might gather from the company's name, Paper Boat Race is a bit of a departure for Brazilian developer Musigames, which is best known for music based games and apps like Mixbox, DJ Nights, and Drum Challenge.
