MobileAge has announced Gluey 1.0, its US$0.99 lava lamp-like puzzle game for iOS devices. Forced into weirdly shaped containers in a far-off land, brightly colored Glueys move around like lava lamp blobs. Players create and remove like-colored blob clusters as they split and merge in infinite ways; no two games play the same way twice. You use strategy to manipulate gravity, locks and bombs to achieve high scores.
