Almost two years after its launch, it's good to see developers are happy to get creative with iPad-only games.

Indeed, the much creativity still revolves around its large 9.7-inch screen size and the on-device multiplayer opportunities it enables.

One particularly interesting example is Fingle, which has been developed by new Dutch outfit Game Oven.

Touchy-feely

As you can see from the videos below, it's a co-operative two player game that has you intertwining your fingers with the other player to complete tasks in a manner that could be viewed as being somewhat intimate.

It's something Game Oven is happy to play up, describing Fingle as the 'Barry White of gaming' - backing up the assertion with some tongue-in-check (literally) examples of how you can play it.

Think of it as 'an innocent puzzle, an awkward exchange, a pleasant exercise or an ice breaking activity', it suggests.

You can decide for yourself in the following videos. The first shows the gameplay. The other two are more... well...

Fingle is due out for iPad only on Thursday 12th January.
