Approximately three weeks ago, my longtime business partner Arbi Arzoumani was watching me suffer through a particularly angry green curry at our local Asian eatery (note to self: never challenge a Korean cook to “make things a bit spicier because I need perking up today”) when he said something along the lines of “we should write a game for the iPhone… a game with balls.” (The balls part might have been mine—spicy food tends to erase memories).

Lo and behold, even though it’s been well over ten years since either one of us has touched a computer game for reasons other than playing it (or throwing it out the window), I am proud to announce Proto, a puzzle game soon to be released by our newly formed AFK Studio for the iPhone OS.

The game is currently in alpha—currently being played by a “selected few” for feedback purposes, but we plan on submitting to the Fruit Company for App Store approval soon.

I plan on posting some gameplay movies soon—in the meantime, here are a couple of teaser screenshots.
