Following the release of HOT REVERSI HD and HOT REVERSI Ultimate by nenet, a new game app for iPad, Neonim, will be released on February 28!

Moak-1 Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Kiyoto Futatsugi) and AIFRONT Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Kiyoshi Shimizu) have jointly developed the iPad game app Neonim, released on February 28, 2011 in the App Store.

Neonim is a game of strategy in which players take turns zapping light balls randomly arranged on the screen. The game unfolds horizontally and vertically, and the secret to winning is to exercise your brain by reading your opponents’ tactics.

Nim is a mathematical game in which players take turns removing objects, such as coins or stones, from discrete piles. It is said to have originated in ancient China.

Neonim was developed based on the game of Nim. Players take turns zapping balls of light, and the player to zap the final light ball loses.

The simple structure of the game lets anyone enjoy it – but the secret is to use your brains to develop clever tactics. The CPU can be configured in three difficulty levels. While single play is fun and challenging, up to four players can play at the same time, so the greatest enjoyment comes at large get-togethers, such as parties and family gatherings.

The iPad’s intuitive operation and the sound and light display when a player zaps a ball provide for hours of enjoyment with your friends!

Moak-1 Co., Ltd. and AIFRONT Co., Ltd. will commercialize various content in the future and do our very best to develop our businesses.

Strategize the RED-HOT SWITCH for hotter competition!

Press the RED-HOT Switch at the upper left and lower right corners to shake up both the screen and your opponent! Use it as a new strategy or to buy yourself time to think. But if you shake the screen too often… The pieces will be blown away! The pieces will eventually return to their original locations, but all strategic plans may have blown away with the pieces, making this technique particularly effective. Use forceful strategies for optimum enjoyment of the game with human vs. human!

Turn the effects off to enjoy a normal game of Reversi!

The effects are optional, so you can turn them off to enjoy a normal game of Reversi. You can also select from blue or green for the board color, and can select the BGM and board viewpoint. A lot of thought has gone into making the game easy and enjoyable.
