Red Planet

iOS iPhone

Set on the surface of Mars, Red Planet is a stunning sci-fi 'ambient adventure' featuring an atmospheric soundtrack by Christopher Franke (one of the original members of Tangerine Dream and composer for the television series Babylon 5).

Explore the Martian landscape in 3D and watch the shadows gradually changing as Red Planet's real-time lighting simulates the sunrises and sunsets of Mars - down to the subtle blue-shifted haze that surrounds the sun, as seen from the Martian surface over a hundred million kilometers away.

Setting the scene in Huygen's Crater, this first installment of Red Planet features a simple objective - locate the transmitter base and reactivate the signal to ensure your return to Earth!

Objectives aside, you can take your time to enjoy the scenery and the evocative soundtrack.

Red Planet is a unique app, that will take fans of sci-fi to another world.

FEATURES:

* 3D environment to explore in first-person - simply tilting the iPhone allows immersive 360° movement.

* Day/Night simulation (approx 5 mins each)

* Music by Christopher Franke

* Future Updates planned!
