First Star Software and Chillingo sent out the first batch of screens for Boulder Dash, one of their latest projects for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It looks a lot like California Gold Rush which I posted for you guys yesterday, but apparently, the latter could just be clone for this one, which is a remake of its 1984 original.

With the absence of the quick joystick control that we had in the original, First Star opted to go with two virtual controllers that we see from a lot of iPod Touch/iPod games. With a variety of controls available, players can pick which style they are more comfortable with. Players can choose between landscape or portrait, as well as adjust varying degrees of zoom with the pinch-zoom function.

More info will be available once Boulder Dash is released, which according to Touch Arcade is "very soon."
