I’m not much for baseball, but you put a boxing match on the tube and I’m glued to it. So when I was handed a copy of Touch KO to try out, I quickly got immersed in its experience. This Fight Night inspired game is the brainchild of US-based computer games designers Adam and Matt Mechtley from 6ixset studios. Touch KO gives the gamer a chance to advance through a boxing career, starting from humble beginnings in a run-down gym, all the way to the glamorous grand arena for the title fight. The game allows for full 3D customization of the virtual fighter including facial and body, clothing and even tattoos. It features innovative game play making use of the unique multi-touch and accelerometer capabilities of the device.

Designing Touch KO for the iPhone and iPod touch from the ground up has kept the game from getting mired down in technical or control issues the way that a lot of ported products can be. Adam and Matt Mechtley really put a lot of thought into how people use their devices and what they like and dislike about the platform to make it a fun experience. The advanced engine technology powering this game doesn’t exist in a lot of console or PC titles. Thanks to the team at Unity Technologies, Adam and Matt Mechtley really pushed this iPhone platform to places it hasn’t been before and believe that the game can stand toe-to-toe with PSP or PS2 titles.
