Special Service Test Inspires Eagle Eye Game

Skript has released the 'Eagle Eye' game exclusively for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. A simple yet fascinating game, the main goal of 'Eagle Eye' is to analyze beautiful pictures - with a twist.

The inspiration for the game comes directly from a common test required to enter the Russian Special Service. Serge Bulaev, iOS Development Team Leader of Skript, LLC, described how the project came about: "It was fascinating to read about the visual attention tests so commonly used by the Special Service. Being app developers, we thought this concept could translate quite naturally into a fun and challenging game app. Eagle Eye isn't going to help anyone become a Special Service agent, but it will certainly stimulate users' brains and their competitive spirits."

Comprised of four vibrant picture collections (including cartoon drawings for children), which are optimized for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch retina displays, each image in the 'Eagle Eye' game app is broken into a tantalizing puzzle. The user gets 15 seconds to take in and analyze the image - then, a spot on that image changes. The object is for the player to notice the change and tap the screen as quickly as they can - before time runs out. Attempts to solve the puzzle are unlimited, but the number of points that can be earned decrease with each passing second. Each image has its own set of challenges, plus, the game features mystifying sounds to ramp up the tension. 'Eagle Eye' also provides many opportunities to achieve milestones and badges - and to share those accomplishments on Twitter and Facebook.

Pricing and Availability:
Eagle Eye Full 1.1 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. There is also a free version available.
