Insurance Company Releases Video Game for iPhone

Posted: 22 Jun 2010 11:07 AM PDT

Humana, the health insurance company, has partnered with Persuasive Games, a developer of custom video games, to create an iPhone game that helps keep the mind, and even the body, up to speed. As blocks are falling down, you need to arrange them in a rainbow pattern. But if you're looking for a particular color block, you can simply get up and take a picture of something around the house matching your intended color and a block of that color will appear. Humana must be thinking that this is a viable tool in the fight on rising healthcare costs.

Choose from three exciting modes of gameplay: pattern disrupting Normal play in which the game continues until the tokens reach the top, frenzied timed play which gives you five minutes to score as many points as possible, and thoughtful fixed play where a rainbow wall of tokens fall after every ten tokens are placed. Each plays differently--perfect your strategy in all three modes.

In most puzzle games, pieces come at random and there's nothing you can do about it. But in Colorfall, you can alter your luck. Need to change the color of that token to clear a row? Get up, move a little or a lot, and use the camera to take a photo of any object in the real world. The token's color will change to the predominant color in the photo.
