Fortune Teller was created to test the openGL 3d capabilities of the iphone/ipod touch as well as to test an advanced origami rendering engine for this mobile device platform. It has proven to be a huge success, quickly climbing to the top of the sales charts within its category.
Fortune Teller is based on the paper origami game Fortune Teller. It is also known in different parts of the world as a cootie catcher, a scrunchie and a chatterbox. This electronic version of the game is built for all ages. Although it was originally a children's game it is great fun for adults. Fortune Teller has stunning 3D graphics, sound effects, beautifully designed custom artwork, and a wide selection of pre-set and user-defined fortunes. Users can rotate the 3D fortune teller in 3 dimensions using standard iphone pinch and swipe gestures. When "idle" the fortune teller will eerily hover in space and look around while slightly opening and closing it's "mouth." It will definitely give you the mystic impression that it is truly alive!
Fortune Teller is pre-loaded with 10 Fortune Sets which include the following themes: Character, Crushes, Dares, Friendship, Love, Luck, School, Talents, When I Grow Up and When You Grow up. Although these initial fortune sets are geared towards children, they can easily be deleted using the standard iphone/ipod touch left-to-right swipe gesture. The "+" button can then be used to create any fortune set you'd like. This makes the game fun and very entertaining for individuals of all ages. In fact, some adult users have used this fun kids game for dating and for breaking the ice with members of the opposite sex.
Fortune Teller is also pre-loaded with 10 beautifully illustrated 'skins' which display on the 3D model. Five of which are geared towards children and five for adults. They include: Dinosaur, Egyptian, Inca, Monkey, Pig, Robot, Symbols, Tarot Cards, Tiki and Wonderland.
This latest version of Fortune Teller includes:
* a new Chinese Zodiac skin
* multilingual support for French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian and Russian.
* Four new randomize functions - random skins, random fortune 'sets', randomized fortunes WITHIN sets, and random open/close function on 'shake' of iphone.
