Mechanics Touch is App of the Week on Dutch site
Orangepixel is een ontwikkelstudio van Nederlandse bodem. Op 19 mei van dit jaar plaatsten ze hun eerste spel op de Android Market, en waren daarmee ook één van de eerste Nederlandse ontwikkelaars op de Android Market. Hun entree op de Market kwam met Mechanics Touch. Deze week een uitgebreide beschrijving van de eerste game als forum App van de Week!
Een ieder die wel eens Lemmings heeft gespeeld of gezien, zal hier meteen aan denken als hij Mechanichs Touch ziet. Ook hier is het de bedoeling de Mechanics van het ene punt op het speelveld, naar het andere punt te brengen…That simple ????? Nope, was het maar waar. Uiteraard komen de Mechanics op hun pad allerlei obstakels tegen waarmee je ze moet helpen. In tegenstelling tot Lemmings bestuur je niet de karakters, maar juist de omgeving. De Mechanics zelf lopen als een kip zonder kop alsmaar rechtdoor, en jij moet ervoor zorgen door gebruik te maken van de omgeving dat ze het einde halen …. zonder kleerscheuren als het even kan.

Mechanics Touch version 1.0.10
We have just made an update for Mechanics Touch. We worked on the interface so our game can be played on all screens. Very fun by the way to see our game on a big screen. The update for the lite version is comming later today.
World 4 for Mechanics Touch is out now!
Today we updated our Android game Mechanics Touch. The game now has an extra world and 15 new levels can be played. So the game now has 4 worlds and a total of 60 levels. We added a few new things and we hope you all like this extra world. Try to unlock the new achievement and become an “Extreme Mechanic”.
Dutch Game Awards
We did it!
We just entered Mechanics Touch into the Dutch Game Awards. A jury will evaluate our game. So keep your fingers crossed and hopefully we know more in November. Lets hope they like the game as much as we do.
Mechanics Touch version 1.0.5
We have another update available for both Mechanics Touch and Mechanics Touch LITE. You can now see the TOP 10 scores/players in the menu. And we fixed some small bugs.
{spoiler} This will be the last small update before we release world 4 into the game! {/spoiler}
Interview about Mechanics Touch
“OrangePixel brings a unique game of concentration and multi-tasking to Android using the touch screen to save as many Mechanics getting them from point A to B. We’ve Interviewed Pascal Bestebroer of OrangePixel to get more insight on their game, company and future Android development plans:
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Pascal, and I am the owner and a developer at OrangePixel http://orangepixel.net, a mobile games company. The last 5 years we have been working mostly on mobile games for the large collection of mobile phones running Java. We are now making the move to Android and iPhone (and I personally prefer Android).”

Mechanics Touch version 1.0.4
We made a new version available for both Mechanics Touch, and Mechanics Touch LITE. This version now contains the menu option to change your control- scheme from using the arrows to move around, or touch and slide the screen.
The default behaviour is put back to our original control-scheme: the arrows. Because the slide-controls will sometimes make it hard for you to touch items or collect coins, etc. Especially in later, more difficult levels, the arrows are a preferred way of playing for most people.
Get your update using the Android Market!
Mechanics Touch Lite
We just made a lite version for Mechanics Touch. And this lite version can already be found on the Android market. Lite means it is for free! The first 8 levels are available. So check it out now and try out our great little world.
Game Review: Mechanics Touch (Android)
Source: http://bushweed.blogspot.com
Mechanics Touch from a dutch studio Orange Pixel caught my eye on the Android market one day. Not because i’m also in the Netherlands, but because it struck me as a game on Android market that didn’t look atrocious. There are a few decent games on there, Cestos is definitely one, but as far as the paid stuff goes, there hasn’t really been much to talk about. Not many original ideas being used, and not enough taking advantage of the fact that its more than just a phone.
The game itself has style, something often lacking from many modern games. From starting the game through playing and unlocking the levels ( there are 45 of them, not that i’m there yet ), the game comes across as distinctly quirky and fun. The music is really enjoyable, and made me laugh the first time i heard a few tracks. The graphics are generally crisp ( although a few of the sprites looked a little rough, even though it is sort of the style ). And the idea is good.

Mechanics Touch on alternative markets
Mechanics Touch is now also available from alternative markets. Due to some countries having difficulties buying games from the Android market, we have made the game available on SlideMe.org and AndAppstore.com. You can use your creditcard or PayPal account to unlock the game.
