RampChamp = iPhoneChamp

Michael — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:24:45 +0000

RampChamp is a beautifully crafted/designed application for the iPhone/iTouch. After months of waiting, it’s finally here and its WONDERFUL.

Games for the iPhone have been growing and growing…in number that is. However, the quality of the apps is appalling. It’s sad when Apple has sold over 1.5 billion apps right? It’s sad that I can only think of 5 apps (notice I said apps not games) in total that I actually use on a daily/weekly basis. RampChamp has just made it’s way to the top 5.

RampChamp is the best application on the appstore (period).

The guys at the guys over at IconFactory and DS Media Labs have truly outdone themselves and I only hope that they make many more applications in the future.

Using Your Time Wisely: iPhone Games

Michael — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:43:32 +0000

I think one of the keys to having a hit on the App Store, when it comes to games anyway, is to help your game infer a purpose. I wanted to highlight a few games that I’ve been playing lately who stay true to this formula as well as help me teleport through time with their addicting replay value.

iDracula-Undead Awakening – Becoming a “Van Helsing” of sorts is crucial to our survival as humans. If there were nobody to kill off all those ware wolves/demons/creepers and DRACULA, we wouldn’t be here. Would we? Updated 3/16/09 to include more levels, weapons and game modes. Available now for $2.99.

Flight Control – One of my new favorite hobbies is helping visually impaired pilots find their way safely to the runway. However, I always think it’s funny that they don’t crash on the runway once I have guided them there. Give Flight Control a try and see how many planes you can land! Now on sale for $0.99!

Dizzy Bee 2 – I’ve never been a huge fan of bees. Ever since one of them stung me on the foot when I was 10, I’ve held a grudge. However, I think my grudge has faded a bit after meeting Dizzy Bee. Dizzy helped my learn about the simple things in life, Fruit Friends and flowers. Now on sale for $0.99!

Blocked – Don’t let this one fool you, Blocked is full of purpose. The purpose being that you must break the blue rectangle out from his group of grey rectangle companions. The lack of a timer keeps the game stressless, however, a buzzer beater mode could be fun! Available now for $0.99.

Update:
Jezz – Oops, can’t believe I forgot this little gem. Thanks @davisf for the reminder. Jezz has brought a ton of joy to my soul where there had been a void since the Windows 3.1 days of Jezz Ball. Thanks to Menial & Kevin Anderson for bringing this game back to life! Available now for $1.99.

Hey guys! I just finished the first test of my new iPhone app HemoLog. I am really excited about the way things are going so far, although that isn’t saying much. However, getting this point has really helped me formulate what I want the app to accomplish as well as learning a few ways to accomplish it.

Please comment or send me a message and let me know what you think. I would love to hear any ideas or criticisms, everything will help! More updates to come soon.

The Giving Tree

MacHeist have done it again. More FREE Apple software. They started with free Mac apps, now iPhone apps as well. Head over to The Giving Tree and check out all the goodies that are available. You can watch iPhone apps “grow” on the tree and once they are big enough, they will begin to wiggle, just like they do on your iPhone! Once they start wiggling, click on them and you will be entered into a drawing for a full version of that app for free. You have to click quick, they only wiggle for about 4-5 seconds. You will be notified wether you won within a few seconds.

All the fun started last night at midnight, so I’m guessing this is a Christmas Eve event, but what a fun one it is. Keep me posted if you win any apps. I won Mr. Sudoku (App Store link) last night on my third try!

New Rolando Trailer!

Rolando – Launching December 18th for iPhone and iPod touch from ngmoco:) on Vimeo.

Rolando is by far my most anticipated iPhone games to date. It has been in the works since the AppStore was created but has yet to see the light of day. I think the developers really took their time to make sure the game is fluid and polished. Rumors are that the game will see for $9.99 when it is released tomorrow Thursday, December 18.
