Even Dick Tracy’s watch couldn’t do this
Back when the Apple Watch was first announced, Owen polled some developers to see what they thought of the wearable and the results were mostly “meh” with a “hmm” thrown in for good measure. What could you possibly create on a screen that small was the initial impression, but then each dev started to come up with ideas that just might work. I think the takeaway from that article was, given any new medium, creative folk will usually figure something out.
I’ve been highly skeptical of the Watch and had really put off any notion of picking one up, mainly because I assumed that there couldn’t be any decent gaming on the device. This from a self-professed Apple fanboy (I’m typing this up on my MacBook Pro while using my iPad as a second monitor and listening to a podcast on my iPhone). Today we learned I was wrong and at least one decent game is coming to Apple Watch, Rules! by The Coding Monkeys.
Now, before we get too excited, realize that the version on your watch won’t be the same thing you get on your phone or iPad. The wrist version will feature short brain teasing puzzles that you can play to achieve a daily goal which will unlock new options within the game. It’s like Runkeeper for your brain.
Rules is already available in the App Store for your iPhone and iPad and the watch version is already available and will be ready to roll when Apple Watch is.
If you’ve not played Rules before, there’s a trailer after the break.
