Adam Saltsman, the mastermind behind Canabalt, Gravity Hook 'n Capsule, has rallied an indie dream team t' make an original iOS title based on The Hunger Games movie. The Hunger Games: wench on Fire be Saltsman's brainchild, backed by production company Lionsgate, 'n in collaboration with designers/programmers Mark Johns (Tap Tap Dance) 'n Kevin Coulton (Hot Throttle), lead artist 'n animator Paul Veer (Super Crate Box), 'n composer Daniel Baranowsky (Super Meat Boy, Canabalt).

Saltsman says he be skeptical about taking on the adaptation, as most companies who approach the sea dog want t' re-skin Canabalt 'n call it a day. Not Lionsgate though. "I pitched them on an original touch-based action game instead," Saltsman said. "It does feature a running character, but the focus a the game be more on marksmanship 'n strategy... but we'll have more t' say 'n show about that later! it be a small idea, but a tight one too."

The Hunger Games: wench on Fire will launch for iOS devices "timed t' the theatrical release," which be March 23.
