Award-winning abstract action game Impossible Road now available on Google Play

An obscenely difficult tilt Android game launched today called Impossible Road. Basically, you have to guide a ball called "The Vessel" down an infinite, winding track without falling off the edge. You get scored based on how many checkpoints you cross along the way, though it's possible to skip them if you fall off the edge but land further down the track. It's a lot harder than it sounds. Let's just say if you've ever played Mario Kart, you'll have horrific flashbacks to Rainbow Road.

Impossible Road was a big hit on iOS, but it launched a year ago there; does it really take that long to port to Android? In any case, this news combined with the release of The Walking Dead makes it an awesome day for gamers.

Who's picking this up? Anybody play the iOS version? What's your high score?
