Kiwaka vs Blek

Kiwaka is a game that explores the concept of tangential learning. Designed to educate and entertain, Kiwaka will let you learn Astronomy, Night Sky Observation and Greek Mythology while engaged in a game. Game progress is rewarded with educational content. Do you know the story of Cassiopeia, the vain Queen of Ethiopia? Or the myth of Perseus and how he killed Medusa who turned all who gazed upon her to stone? Have you heard of Orion, the great hunter, and his enemy, the giant Scorpion?… Kiwaka will unveil the stories behind each constellation as you conquer them. Kiwaka was developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and other leading scientific organizations to display over 120 stunning space images, as well as external links to explore the cosmos further. Kiwaka also includes several videos to help you locate important stars and constellations in the sky. The adventure begins in Kiwaka, a small place in the African jungle (it actually exists!) where the strangest creatures live. They want to discover the night sky and your goal is to catch fireflies to help them - each firefly will light one of the stars in the sky. As the fireflies bring light to the constellations they reveal their hidden mysteries and ancient myths. Designed for children and enjoyed by all ages, Kiwaka is a magical learning adventure. Astronomy has never been so engaging!

Blek is a unique game about imagination and personality. Everything you draw keeps moving – and watching your creations move is like watching magic. The goal is simple: shape a line that collects all colored circles avoiding black holes on its route. There are no specific moves that you need to master. To every level countless solutions exist, from delightfully simple to exceptionally deep and complex, yet always elegant. ----- Articles & Commentaries ----- "The Most Brilliant iPad Game I've Played All Year." ~ Kotaku "One of the greatest joys of Blek is experimenting with your approach." ~ WIRED "It’s the sort of game you’d want to put on a space probe: when the aliens play it, they’ll take a liking to us right away." ~ The New Yorker "Wonderful experience" ~ Pocket Gamer "Blek is a thing of elegant, intuitive beauty" ~ Edge "One of the year’s best" ~ The New York Times ----- Awards ----- • Apple Design Award • Best Mobile Game - Casual Connect, Amsterdam • Excellence in Innovation - International Mobile Gaming Awards • Best Game - Content Award Vienna"
