I'm swingin' so high: ReadyFireAim's wacky iPhone wallwalker Sway
Officially now joining the Offworld ranks of most promising iPhone publishers alongside ngmoco and Flashbang is Illusion Labs. After storming the charts with the more traditional Labyrinth and cult fave fingerboarder Touch Grind, they're hitting back with upstart Swedish developer ReadyFireAim's Sway.
Designed in collaboration with fellow Swedish design studio Picky and illustrator Amelie 'Krawatt' Jacobsson, Sway looks very promisingly like underdog GBA/DS Donkey Kong title King of Swing by way of LittleBigPlanet's ragdoll felt and corrugated cardboard aesthetic, and rests itself on a dual-thumbed grip-and-flip mechanic to move throughout its free-form levels.
There is, of course, no precise release date as yet, but, according to the YouTube comments, the game was submitted to Apple just under a week ago, and should appear in the very near future.

Yes indeed, got it in the body but flubbed it in the title -- thanks for the heads up.
