The folks over at Illusion Labs are touting this as the first tru multi-touch game for the iPhone.

From the looks of all the screen shots there’s no person skating. Why is that? Because it’s a “finger board” game (check the video after the jump) –pretty cool if you ask me. If I owned an iPhone I would probably get this when it becomes available in the iPhone App Store in October.

From their site:

 Yes, it’s official! Illusion Labs brings you the world’s first true multi-touch game for the iPhone. The board is controlled by using finger gestures similar to the legs and feet of a real skater.

The dynamic and innovative controls together with the game being built on a high quality physics engine gives the players a high degree of freedom to come up with their own tricks.

Following our Game 2.0 philosophy the games comes with an online level editor open to the community to create and publish their own skateparks.

Touchgrind will be available in the iPhone App Store in October.
