INKS.
INKS. has fun, color, and now an ADA.
Congrats, @State_of_Play! 🙌 #WWDC16https://t.co/ofBk9ymn9khttps://t.co/3yU9oFtJZY— App Store (@AppStore) June 14, 2016
Apple says:
“INKS is a beautiful game with a twist on the classic pinball genre. As a ball is launched onto the table, it hits paint pockets that explode in splashes of colorful ink that spread and blend into each other. The compositions created are gorgeous, one-of-a-kind pieces of art. The mixing and blending effects of ink was heavily researched and replicated with custom shaders and Metal APIs.”
Auxy
With Auxy, anyone can make great 🎵.
That’s a feat worthy of an ADA.
