MindGames, LLC develops world's first mind-controlled iPhone game

Have you ever played and lost a tug-of-mind? If you are human, the answer is yes: you’ve let someone else’s state of mind pull yours along with it. MindGames’ Tug of Mind gives you the chance to replay that game on your own time and win!

Designed for iPhone and the NeuroSky MindSet, Tug of Mind pits you against any opponent you choose from real life. Choose a photograph, and turn it into an angry, lifelike 3D head, courtesy of Digimi. Put words in its mouth by recording a phrase. Then turn that frown upside down using the power of your mind! As you relax, the NeuroSky MindSet sends your brainwaves to change the mood of your opponent from stern to smiling. Three difficulty levels plus an infinite choice of opponents adds up to a lot of gameplay! Do you have what it takes to win a Tug of Mind?
