A Dutch auto insurance company called VrijVerzekerd recently thought outside the box of flatulence simulators and gem-swapping puzzle games to come up with a truly brilliant iPhone offering. Titled Endless Racing Game (clever!), the application allows two or more users to sync their iPhones up via Bluetooth, then watch as a car drives between their mobile devices as they generate a continuous racing course.
If that explanation made little to no sense to you, check out the video demo after the jump. It's such a neat concept -- unfortunately, we don't think the iPhone has the install base needed to support that kind of multiplayer experience. Seriously, nobody has those things.
Since we're talking about the iPhone, did anyone see the Engadget post on the screen Adobe made to blame the lack of Flash on Apple? Classic. The fanboy rage made us look like beginners!
How is that fanboy rage? That general anger at a company for not changing it stupid policies to let Flash on the iPhone, which by the way, used to be available when it first launched. Suddenly support was taken away.
Did you guys even try it out? It's 100% nothing like that video. Never mind the fact that a bluetooth connection and the accelerometer could never accomplish something along those lines (maybe if you added the compass). It's quite literally a crappy spyhunter clone you play on a single iPhone until you reach the 60 second mark at which time a canned "cutscene" plays and the other "half" plays on whatever 2nd iDevice is connected via bluetooth. Then you continue the crappy spyhunter clone on another iPhone. Repeat ad nauseum. There's an actual gameplay video in the related videos on youtube. Check it out and and bask in it's lameness.
I'd be angry, but it's free and only consumed 5 minutes trying to get it to work, so I'll downgrade to being bummed. I could have spent those 5 minutes waiting for a Google Wave invite...
