Ustwo teams up with Sony to bring smartphone game Dot to Google TVs
Whale Trail developer ustwo has teamed up with Sony to bring an improved version of one of its iPhone and Android titles, Dot, over to the Android Market for Sony's Google TVs.
Dot has been remade for the big screen, allowing players to take control via their remote controls or via an Android handset.

In your face, interface

"This partnership with Sony has been really exciting – it's the first time we've created a game specifically for a TV interface and it's been amazing to see Dot come to life on the big screen," said co-founder of ustwo John Sinclair.

Gameplay revolves around moving your Dot around the screen while collecting or avoiding different coloured power-ups and obstacles. You can see for yourself how the game works by viewing the video below.

It was back in August when Google first released its preview build version of the Google TV version of the Android SDK for developers.
