Michael will be joining Ricky Haggett as he asks game designers questions. Going by the name Smestorp, Michael developed well known title Vertex Dispenser, and more recently Glitch Tank. Next to Eliss, it’s one of the best things I’ve played on an iPad: Local multiplayer, a distinct sense of having some control whilst lacking much more, and a high probability of things going mental. It’s like Robo Rally, but more accessible and compulsive. I was sold on it the instant I had about a dozen tanks on screen, my opponent just one, and I still lost: Because the more you have, the harder it can be to keep track of what’s about to happen.
