Sorry folks - I don’t have a lot of time this morning to post - but this one is definitely worth it.
Description:
FREE DOWNLOAD CAMPAIGN FOR TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008!!
You can download and play Hudson’s 3 popular titles “Aqua Forest”,”NeoSameGame”, and “Catch The Egg” for FREE!
This campaign ends on Oct. 12 (JST), so hurry and click the “BUY APP” button now!
Aqua Forest is the unique application utilizing “OctaveEngine™ Casual,” which is a 2D-based multi-physics engine for casual games. This engine uses a particle-based physics model that has few restrictions. It can calculate almost any type of objects, not only solid materials, but also elastic body, plastic body, fluid, and gas. In the “FREE” mode of the application, you can draw and create various shapes of objects and you can experience the ability of this engine. In the “PUZZLE” mode, with exploiting the touch screen and accelerometer, you will challenge the puzzles designed by “OctaveEngine™ Casual” that you’d have never seen before. There are 5 categories, and each category has 10 puzzles.
Alright, well if you’re still here, you either haven’t found the download link yet (hint: click the price thing below) or you don’t quite know what “fring” is. So for the latter part of you, here’s a clip from their website … but I’ll give you a hint: IM + VoIP + extras = fring
Apple: This is out of control. I’m not sure if these people are going for the award of Self-Proclaimed Kings of CrapApp or what, but this is getting to be a tad ridiculous. I mean I’m not against anyone trying to make money by selling their application on the App Store. Heck, if I had one shred of coding ability I’d already have a couple out on the store, but I know for sure I would not have 20 applications that all do the same thing!
Look, reality is this is just plain lazy coding and application whoring. They have one decent countdown application. One. They then took what was a good idea (the countdown program) and slapped 19 new icons on it and sent it to Apple 19 more times. All these applications do the same dammed thing (I’m sure if Apple checked the code they would see its almost line for line identical in the function/method), they take an input (some date in the future) then count down to that date. THAT’S IT!
Fix this Apple. You seem to be able to kick out perfectly useful applications … why not use that effort to kick out the useless CrapApps like this. ZATZ can quite easily re-label and re-icon the ONE useful program they have written here and re-launch it on the App Store.
Before anyone hops all over me for posting politics - let me remind you of something that’s somewhat important to know - I can’t vote, so while I do care, I don’t care. I’m pro-bama but not completely Anti-McCain. I truly believe in the concept of “divided we fail”.
Alright … my stupid views aside, this is really cool.
I think we may have achieved a record for the launch of such a complex app in such a short period, and many excellent features were dropped for lack of time. It was really fun to develop, knowing the power of features like Call Friends (which sorts your address book by key battleground states) and Get Involved (which uses CoreLocation to direct you to the nearest Obama Headquarters). The app was designed as a means to donate your time in discreet segments — we call it ‘micro-volunteering’.
First, what makes this cool is that they managed all of this in a month, and second they all volunteered their time to make this happen. They aren’t charging for the application, they’re simply doing what they know best in an effort to do their part in the election. So, if you’re an Obama supporter take a minute head on over to iTunes and download this wonderful effort.
Alright, cut to the chase time. This is going to be a bit of a different review from what you’re used to seeing come through most blog sites including this one. I’ve already done a review of the iPhone invisibleSHIELD full body shield a short while back so I’m not going to rehash the entire thing. I could go through all the things I went through before, but to be honest most of it remains the same. So, you’re wondering what am I going to do? Well, click on through to find out!
We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for released iPhone software.
We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple inventions and innovations that we would like to protect, so that others don’t steal our work. It has happened before. While we have filed for hundreds of patents on iPhone technology, the NDA added yet another level of protection. We put it in place as one more way to help protect the iPhone from being ripped off by others.
However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success, so we are dropping it for released software. Developers will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering released software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.
Thanks to everyone who provided us constructive feedback on this matter.
I looked at Billy Frontier a while ago (see here) and at the time the price had gone back to its normal price of $5.99 which caused me to give it a “meh” rating. I recommended they drop it back to the introductory price of $2.99 because I personally thought it would fare pretty well at that level. Well they did that and now they’ve done one better — the mega sale price is only $0.99!!
Honestly - having played the game and still playing the game - 99 cents is a great deal. Jump on it!
I’m going to shamelessly grab the details on this from TUAW and leave you to go and download it yourself. But after a long day… at least there was a little bit to smile about!
Some of the new features are:
Facebook Chat
Address book lookup
New, easier to use interface, including notifications and the full news feed
Write on friends’ walls and view their full profiles
Photo tags (holding your finger down on the photo will show them)
People search, friend requests and your full inbox/inbox search
Need I say more? Ok - I will. YAY! No more Bullshit reviews that are nothing more than - “this apps sucks - it should be free because I don’t think you should charge me for anything. Everything should be free” OR “You want me to spend a dollar on THIS?!”
Unfortunately, now we won’t get to see as many gems like this one:
Maybe now the star ratings will actually mean something?!
Consider this another one of those moments when reading what I have to say is NOT the thing you should be doing right now. Yes, I know it happens all too often - but really. Stop reading and click the link below to go to the App Store and pick up eWallet for CHEAP! (Limited Time = Oct. 3rd)
