Renowned designer Yu Suzuki debuted a new game, Air Twister, on Apple Arcade. Everything you need to know in this note!
One of the games apple-arcade that is revolutionizing networks is Air Twisterdesigned by renowned artist yu suzukiin charge of games like Space Harrier, Shenmue Y VirtualFighter. The game is a typical arcade shooter and takes us through a strange fantasy world full of armored birds, flying squids, skeleton dragons, floating cities and evil clocks.
In the words of suzukithe game is “a fusion of all the things I would like to see in a fantasy world”. And from what you can see in the various photos of the game, it’s a pretty interesting world. The most important thing you need to know about Air Twister is that it is a typical shooting game where the player assumes the role of a princess who fights to save her world.
It has 12 levels, which are quite short, but full of enemies and end with a boss battle. Those who could already enjoy it, comment that it feels like a game dream cast but with a modern touch thanks to the fact that it is controlled with the touch screen. And the gaming experience may be incredible, but what stands out the most is this new fictional world.
Air Twister It begins with our protagonist flying through an immense ocean from which huge mushrooms grow. But this is just a preview of the rest of the scenarios that we will enjoy in the game. Some of them include a barren moon, an austere mechanical lair, a giant garden full of huge roses and animal-shaped tree sculptures, a desert full of flying manta rays, among many other incredible settings.
When asked suzuki in an interview how he had come up with this kind of world, the creator simply said that it was a collage of ideas. Some of the artists who influenced the world were michael parkes or the movie The endless story. “At first, it seems like they can’t fit together, and while I was putting all these parts together, I didn’t consciously make them fit together.”explained suzuki. “For me, they just fit naturally. I wanted everything to feel like it was 100 years old.”and he was able to do this by focusing on the texture, density, and color of landscapes and enemies when rendering images.
But another big part of the game, which was also designed this way, is its soundtrack. Air Twister It has a soundtrack full of progressive rock composed by the Dutchman Valensia. The collaboration between suzuki Y Valensia arrives because the designer is a fan of the musician and even “He wanted the world to adapt to his music.”
The way the collaboration came about is quite interesting. What suzuki he had no one to put him in contact with the musician, it occurred to him to send him a message by Facebooksomething that ended up working. “Once he had an idea of the world we were trying to create, he was totally on board”commented suzuki on Valensia.
One of the most important elements of the game is that its controls are tactile, something very common in new games. But this is not the only thing Air Twister incorporated for the modern gamer to have a good experience. In the main mode Air Twisterstars can be collected which we can then use to unlock new items ranging from cosmetic upgrades like new hairstyles, to new equipment that becomes very useful throughout the game.
Since the structure of the game itself is quite challenging, these improvements are designed to help all players, even the most novice, reach the end of the game. But nevertheless, Air Twister it still has different degrees of difficulty like any traditional arcade. Y suzuki he wanted players to feel in the files with this new game, something that he seems to achieve completely.
