[Gamasutra rounds up the latest news in the world of App Store gaming, featuring standout releases like Catapult King, Ichi, No Red T-Shirts, and Graffiti Heaven.] - Chillingo's Catapult King Launches In App Store The Wicked Witch-developed Catapult King challenges players to destroy fortresses and castles from a unique first-person catapult perspective. - One-Button Puzzler Ichi Premieres For iOS "In Ichi, players use rotating triangles, barriers, and other environmental objects to guide a moving line and collect coins throughout each level. The game includes over 50 puzzles, and a level-creation tool lets players create and share their own custom stages with others online." - Mobile Game Pick: Anticlon (Maton Games) "Players must cover all the white tiles on the board, using or avoiding the other colored titles, as appropriate. Once the sliding arrows are introduced, Anticlon becomes quite challenging, often requiring one to readjust the arrows mid-stage." - Namco Debuts Offbeat Action Game No Red T-Shirts Namco's latest App Store release stars a malfunctioning police robot who hands out fines for questionable offenses. - Mobile Game Pick: Graffiti Heaven (Just Another Indie Game Company) "Players control the soul of a dead graffiti artist who must traverse in-game mazes created from photographs of real-world graffiti art. The gyroscope-based controls suit the gameplay well, and each level features multiple solutions." - Mobile Game Pick: Love Me Not (Uncade) "Love Me Not challenges players to fend off waves of lovelorn attackers by flinging flower petals. Players tilt the iOS or Android device to rotate the flower, and tap its petals to launch them skyward." - Dance Dance Revolution-Inspired Indie Film The FP Gets iOS Tie-In Game "The FP is a post-apocalyptic tale in which gang members battle for control of the Frasier Park wasteland by competing in Beat-Beat Revelation, a fictional knockoff of Konami's rhythm game Dance Dance Revolution. The iOS game, as you might expect, is a recreation of Beat-Beat Revelation, minus the deadly consequences."
