Revolve is an arcade style game for the iPad in which the player rotates a planet in order to save that planet from burrowing invaders. The invaders begin to fall off of the planet when they are rotated below the equator.

The repository is on Github, just make a clone. The application runs best on an actual iPad device (simulator has low FPS).

here's a gameplay video:

Screenshot looks cool. Wish I had an ipad around to play it.

Hey, the web link goes to your source instead of the game. Plz fix so I can rate.
Boodog28 Apr 2014, 04:10
Both of your links go to the source :)

Sorry, can't rate it because I don't have a Mac or an iPad.

Really great game and worth the effort to get it running on device. Very simple spin mechanic that has a surprising amount of depth to it. I managed to get a high score of 182.

Looks very good! I think your game mechanic is awesome (I want to make a spinny game for the iPad also). I'll build it to test when I get the chance. I hope you release it onto the store!

I've added a youtube video of gameplay footage to the links:

I'll put in on the app store soon for accessibility.

Thank you for your comments!

Looks like a great simplistic concept. I wish I had an iPad now! :)

Cool idea, but the enemies fall off so slowly when below the equator that it doesn't really feel fair. Nice illustrations though, really would have benefitted from some audio.

Fun idea, wished I could play not only watch. Great job!

Nice game! Too bad you did not make it for the web.

Interesting concept -- looks like it could be pretty addictive. But I too lack an iPad to play it on.
