Oko

Winner of Swisscom App of the Year award in 2012, OKO is an intriguing puzzle game that transports players on a mesmerizing journey around the Earth by utilising satellite images taken from NASA's database. The game's ethereal soundscapes are composed of recordings captured during space shuttle voyages. The objective of the game is to restore an image by halting the rotation of circles sliced out of the picture. Each level features animated reassembly of intricate designs, posing increasingly complex patterns. The task requires staying attentive to the image placement while pausing each circle at precisely the right instant. Now with retina graphics, OKO is available at the App Store. According to NASA's New Media Innovation Leader, Yvonne Clearwater, the game is "Exquisitely beautiful in its visuals and sound, engaging, and an excellent incorporation of space imagery into the transmedia landscape.
