Overview
Intuitive Crash Bandicoot was developed by Dimps and published by Universal Interactive and was released on May 25, 2007. This obscure Crash Bandicoot game was excusively created for the launch of a new japanese cell phone, the DoCoMo SH904i, coming as a pre-installed game, utilizing the phone's motion control features, which it calculates based on the image of the rear camera (so you'd better not cover the camera with your hand during gameplay).
The game has no story. It is composed of 5 mini games, which all take use of the motion controls in some form, but sometimes also requires the player to press the numerals or the confirm button. The game shares its aesthetics with Crash: Boom, Bang!, a similar game developed by Dimps for the Nintendo DS.
