WARNING: DO NOT PLAY GYROMANIAC IN PUBLIC! (Unless you don't mind looking awesome) GYROMANIAC is a revolution in immersive 3D gaming! Visit http://gyromaniac.net to see VIDEO of how this amazing game works. --- GYROMANIAC IN THE NEWS --- TechCrunch says Gyromaniac “is both disgusting and awesome.” http://tcrn.ch/cuR4dO Touch Arcade says it “tracks motion in a fashion that yields seemingly impossible results... The effect... is pretty amazing.” http://bit.ly/cFoTH1 --- THE CONCEPT --- STAND UP, look up and down, look around, AND SPIN (IN REAL LIFE!) to swiftly navigate through a series of disgustingly-real, endlessly-winding, anatomy-inspired tracts. Thanks to our breakthrough "Perspectiverse Engine", you can use your iOS device like a movable window into a virtual three-dimensional world that coincides with the real world around you. Though Gyromaniac runs on devices that can fit in your pocket, it's more akin to a motion-controlled home gaming experience, like the Wii or Kinect. This is by no means a casual mobile game. --- FEATURES --- - A new style of visceral, immersive motion-based controls intuitive even for non-gamers, but whose mastery will challenge the most sophisticated players. - "Touchless" gameplay: Gyromaniac can be controlled completely through your movements, without ever having to touch the screen. - Four Time Trial levels: Intestinal Fortitude, Colonoscapade, Capillary Action, and Fallopian Rhapsody, with more to come. - Multiplayer races in real-time spanning multiple devices over Bluetooth - Each time you play a level, the terrain generated will be random and unique, allowing for infinite replayability. - Stereoscopic 3D mode with Red/Cyan 3D glasses. - Uses no third-party engines or code, but powered by the homegrown Perspectiverse Engine. --- CREDITS --- Concept, Design, Engineering Vishal Srivastava Texture Art, Logos Wayne Price, Amos Manneschmidt, Jennifer C.

If you’re in for a very challenging physics-based race against time in eye-catching environments, you’re looking at the right game. Speed and focus are essential. And some good control of your temper would be advisable. Because mastering the GyroSphere is no easy task. You must get past all those ill-intentioned obstacles meant to throw you off the floating racetracks and finish the levels in the best possible time. Not an easy road ahead, the racetracks feature lots of narrow passages, sudden drops, tight loops, dizzying downward spirals, slippery slopes and, of course, the ever-present obstacles. You’ll be very busy and… pissed off, but where’s the fun in playing easy games? FEATURES: - creative and challenging physics-based levels - addictive gameplay - amazing graphics - swipe control - different spheres to unlock and play with - 48 tracks, 5 spheres, 5 environments (more coming) - leaderboards - special levels for PvP challenges

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GyroSphere Evolution at Free against Gyromaniac's $1.99. GyroSphere Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 92 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 5). Gyromaniac's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
