So I was turned onto some new games this weekend. One costs $0.99 and one is completely free – but they’re both freaking fantastic for burning a few minutes.
Topple (shown left) is a really great twist on the Tetris idea. Instead of stacking blocks and avoiding a top line, you have to balance them on top of one another (you can also tilt them with the accelerometer) until you reach a certain height. The catch? The ground you’re playing on isn’t always flat, and you’ve got to stack the blocks before the time runs out. It’s an absolute STEAL at $0.99 and everyone has to check this game out. It’s beautiful!
Mazefinger is the company’s other game, and it’s completely free. It consists of mazes that you have to guide your finger through. When you put your finger on the screen you’re half blinded by lightning that shoots onto the spot you press, and you’ve got to find your way to the end of the maze before time runs out. The part I love most about this game? The sound. It literally shouts your score at you at the end of each maze as well as at the end of each level (consisting of five mazes). There’s nothing like your iPhone shouting “AWESOME!” at you five times in a row. Did I mention it was free?

This game is very popular among our users (I see a lot of screenshots posted to our service). By the way, we are looking for a small number of people who could participate in our beta program. After the successful launch of our first iPhone application (Big Canvas PhotoShare), we are now ready to release a series of photo-related applications. I am wondering if you are interested in participating this program. If you are, please send me your device id(s). I will send you pre-release version of our applications. What we are looking for is mostly the usability feedback, but competitive analysis or pricing suggestions are also welcome. I’d really appreciate you could participate.
