Daily iPhone App Digest – 10/04/10

Shaverma Games today is pleased to introduce Words Magic 1.0, their challenging, new word-building game for iOS. Deceptively simple in its premise, the player must connect a starting word and an ending word. This is done using linking words which are only a single letter different from the previous word. For example, the player must select from the following to connect "bend" and "bank": end, band, blend, bead, bed, and bond. The answer, "band", is obvious, but higher levels of gameplay are quite difficult, involving two, three or more linking words.

Words Magic launches in portrait mode to display the game’s master of ceremonies, a standing bear with a sorcerer’s hat and magic wand. Two-thirds of the way down the screen is a large blue cloud containing small, white clouds. Using the previous example, the first white cloud contains the starting word "bend", the second gray cloud contains a question mark, and the third white cloud contains the ending word "bank". The six choices for correct linking word each appear in small white clouds in the night sky, above and below the large blue cloud that serves as the puzzle space. In the event that a player selects an incorrect linking word, the last two clouds turn gray, and the message appears, "Two gray clouds don’t connect! Touch the white one to step back and find another way!"

Feature Highlights:
* Deceptively simple premise – extremely challenging at higher levels
* Logical game of letter substitution to transform words
* Many levels of play with tasks at each level
* Many hours of gameplay for all ages
* Extremely easy to learn
* Challenges the player to think several steps ahead

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
* iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4 tested)
* 0.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Words Magic 1.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Announcing Advanced Global Solution AGS SpA, the developer of Fly Effect Real 3D 1.0, has released a unique product for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. The application is a brand new launch, bringing a rare concept to the marketplace. Fly Effect Real 3D is one of the few existing games in the world that offers users not only two dimensional play but also 3D. Users who wear 3D glasses while enjoying the game get to experience a real feel of racing through a Superpunk universe, as they steer around obstacles and try not to run out of fuel as they rack up points.

Fly Effect Real 3D is truly unique and at this point, rare. The app does allow users to play in regular two dimensional but it is among the first few games in the world that requires the use of 3D glasses with red and cyan lenses to enjoy three dimensional effects.

Naturally, the game download does not supply the glasses, players must use their own. When they do, they are rewarded with an amazing, realistic game venue, complete with speed, action and plenty of challenge. Two dimensional play offers the same fun but the graphics and the feel of the game do not have the same impact.

The game’s setting is a fantasy Superpunk universe. Players are raced through tunnels, trying to steer around obstacles, pick up bonus objects and use as little fuel as possible. Speed, which can be selected as slow, normal, fast or extreme, is not controlled by the player. The app operates the gas pedal and there is no brake.

Players can adjust the control settings to match their driving style, though. All moves are made with the accelerometer, so a steady hand can be a big help for serious players.

Of course, the object is to get the highest score possible. It will take practice for some players, as this is a challenging game. Once they feel confident though, users will want to take advantage of the app’s OpenFeint support to compare their scores with other players around the world, as well as their friends on Facebook.

These are some of the features in Fly Effect Real 3D:
* Play in 2D or amazing stereoscopic Real 3D mode
* Spacecraft completely controllable by accelerometer
* 10 different challenging levels
* Each level playable with 4 different speeds: slow, normal, fast, extreme
* Edit control settings to match driving style
* OpenFeint enabled
* Facebook sharing
* Version 1.0 contains Earth World
* Coming soon – Air World and Water World, each with 10 exciting levels

Currently, Fly Effect Real 3D comes with Earth World, which contains ten levels. AGS plans on adding Air World and Water World in the app’s next update.

Device Requirements:
* 3G, 4 iPhone and iPod touch, iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 37.6 MB

Touchy, by Inventor Dan Zen, is an iPhone / iPod touch game available at the Apple App Store that encourages physical and social play. The rules of Touchy are simple: players try to physically touch each other’s screens without letting their own screen be touched. The mobile mediated game provides a target for each device and a timer that each player activates at the same time. The more a player’s screen is touched and held, the more points they lose. The player with the most points left when time is up is the winner. Game duration and player handicap can be set. Wins, ties and losses are listed and totaled. The game has been designed so that there is no need for Internet connection, making it portable to play with friends in any location.

"Most, if not all, mobile games are played in the device and it is refreshing to see players interact physically in a social manner with the aid of technology", says Zen. To ensure people understand that the game takes place in the physical world, Touchy TV has been launched where hosts commentate on videos of people playing Touchy. Featured players include people in night clubs, parents with their children, executives at conferences and kids on couches. Touchy is a game that anyone can play but it is expected that the most social impact will be with teens during school breaks to help further friendships.

Touchy has been called the "Ancient Game" where one imagines cavemen playing keep-away with a slab of meat. But Touchy is a mutual keep-away game making the play more like a sword duel where each player tries for the other’s target locking them in an eternal battle. Players experience a sense of wrestling but it is agility that is being tested rather than strength. This makes playing Touchy a unique and pleasant experience, one that has surprised and delighted players of all ages. Game players put on quite the spectacle for bystanders as they express their primal urges!

The Touchy Facebook page includes the Touchy Duel application that lets users challenge friends to a game of Touchy. Many playful options are available so users can construct challenges of their choosing such as, "I, [Your Name], being tenth generation ninja, do hereby publicly challenge [Friend Name] to a game of Touchy anywhere there is pizza. I would also like [Second Friend] to attend so they can seethe with jealousy." The challenge is posted on Facebook walls to help spread news of the game. It is hoped that with the help of an enthusiastic public, Touchy will become a long-lasting beacon for creative and relevant mobile applications and spread joy to all who play.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 2.0 or later
* 0.2 MB

The University of Tennessee Community Partnership Center (CPC) has led the development of a mobile tourism application to encourage asset-based economic and community development in Knoxville. The CPC partnered with community organizations in Knoxville to create content for a walking tour to promote African-American heritage and cultural tourism in Knoxville.

The Beck Tour app is a free iPhone app that presents a walking tour featuring 13 historically and culturally significant sites in and around downtown Knoxville, TN. While at or near each your site, the app enables users to read brief narratives about the site’s importance and view photos of notable people and events related to a particular site. Adding to the uniqueness of this app, tour participants can view 4-6 minute videos about the historic and cultural significance at 10 of the sites.

The Beck Cultural Exchange Center, the lead community organization in the project, is a part of the Knox County Library System that researches, collects, preserves, and exhibits African-American achievements and culture. Additionally, the Carpetbag Theatre is a performing arts organization that created the digital stories, 4-5 minute videos that provide virtual interpretation of ten sites on the tour. All the content in the app was created by local historians, artists, designers, and software developers drawing upon the remarkable archives of the Beck Cultural Exchange Center.

In addition to the iPhone app, for non-iPhone users there is a mobile web version of the tour, as well as one tailored to laptop or iPad size screens that will be coming online soon.

From an economic and community development point of view, the project desires to attract people to downtown and adjacent neighborhoods and encourages them to stay in the community as long as possible. The tour will get people walking around, eating, shopping, and visiting retailers at their own pace, all while learning about the history and culture of Knoxville’s vibrant African-American community, which er hope will further encourage people to visit places throughout the greater community. Perhaps as important, building on Knoxville’s rich historic assets, the tour app will enrich the cultural identity of Knoxville. Getting people to become more aware of their heritage will instill a sense of place and community among residents.

We anticipate the Beck Tour to add many more tour locations in the months ahead, but the app will initially launch with the first 13. So enjoy what is the first of many location-based tourism applications sure to come for the City of Knoxville and the State of Tennessee.

The iOS version of Very Simple Game reenacts the actual gameplay used by the kids at a party. Equipped with the same dialogue and actual hand gestures of the mind twisting game that had everyone confused. Parents watched as a group of teenagers played a strange game with their friends. The game consisted of a person showing sets of fingers, saying different numbers and repeating "This is a very simple game." at the beginning of each round.

The parents were amazed by the game and the amount of fun the kids were having. They joined in and tried to figure out the answer too. Like everyone else, they couldn’t figure out the puzzle after several attempts. One of the parents watching was an independent iPhone developer and thought this was a great app idea. A few weeks after the party, he figured out how he could turn the crazy hand game into a mobile game and told the kids about his idea. They were so excited and couldn’t wait to see the game in action on their phones.

Now several weeks later, Very Simple Game is available on Apple iOS devices: iPhone, iPod, and iPad. The iOS version of Very Simple Game reenacts the actual gameplay used by the kids at the party.

Astar-Nevosoft announced the release of Pantheon for the iPad platform. The title offers involving match-3 gameplay presented against gorgeous visual backgrounds which include stunning scenes of animated waterfalls cascading down verdant cliffs and waves lapping sun-baked shores.

The base game mechanics is simple enough to make it easy to play for non-experienced players. You have to click on groups of colored gems which, when clumps of two or more standing adjacent to one another are tapped, they disappear from play and, following gravity’s rules, make way for those stacked above. The goal of each stage involves eliminating all gold-shaded squares by making matches using them before a candle-shaped time meter burns out. If successful, you move onto the next stage, with new gods added to your collection every few levels. If fail, you will lose one of four lives, with the game ending when this supply runs out.

The further you progress, greater obstacles (e.g., locked tiles only opened with specific gems, squares that must be used in multiple matches before they’ll lose their shading) are thrown at you. Power-ups are also offered when several stones are eliminated in a single move, such as bombs that explode, destroying all jewels around them, or lightning that disintegrates all gems of a single color. All of which come together to help create the comfortable, sometimes challenging, dynamics.

As an added bonus, the outing even features collectible trophies: statues and gilded ornaments-earned by accomplishing feats like making 10 successful quick moves or activating four lightning power-ups in a row. Collecting the entire set takes time, giving even veterans reason to keep pounding away at the program.

Key features:
* Different Power-ups
* Collectible trophies
* Beautiful soundtracks
* Animated backgrounds
* Well-balanced Play

A calm-inducing soundtrack is joined by a whole host of ambient noises including flowing water and chirping birds, ensuring a mellow experience. Subtle night and day effects only enhance the featured atmosphere that much further, guaranteeing a pleasant time.

ABBYY, a leading provider of document recognition, document capture, and linguistic technologies and services, today announced Business Card Reader 3.0 for the iPhone(R), the next evolution of its business card reading and contact management application. Version 3.0 expands the basic functionality of the application – capture of data from business cards and saving it to the mobile address book – with new features such as the ability to search for information about new contacts across popular social and business networks and Google Maps. The new unique functions of the application together allow business users to streamline contact management and reduce time spent on manual entry.

ABBYY Business Card Reader 3.0 for the iPhone automatically transfers key information from business cards directly to the iPhone address book, allowing users to not only create new contact records, but also efficiently update existing ones. Leveraging the iPhone’s camera and ABBYY’s text recognition technology, the application intelligently locates each type of contact information (e.g. name, phone numbers, e-mail, etc.) on a card and saves it into proper data fields. Additionally, ABBYY Business Card Reader reads text in 17 languages including multilingual business cards.

"We try to understand and anticipate practical needs and preferences of our customers," said Olga Tolstunova, deputy director of the Mobile Products Department at ABBYY. "As a result, the new version of our business card reading solution for the iPhone expands users’ opportunities beyond traditional contact management. Its users can find and collect thorough information about a contact literally on the go."

ABBYY Business Card Reader 3.0 for the iPhone allows mobile workers to quickly learn more about a company or individual, via the ability to search across social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as in Hoover’s business database, directly from within the application. This capability provides mobile workers with insight into the contacts they make beyond what is included on their business card. The application also allows the user to look up a new address captured from a business card with Google Maps without requiring it to be saved in the mobile address book.

Version 3.0 further simplifies work with the application by highlighting uncertain characters in the captured text, eliminating the need to visually check all the data. In addition, it now comes with a new intuitive interface to bring more convenience, ease and joy of using the application.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation)
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later

"GravBot looks and sounds absolutely great, with Retina Display enhanced graphics and catchy music and sound effects. I especially love the little blips and bloops that your robot will spout out during the game, and he has a ton of personality for essentially being a TV set with a wheel." – Touch Arcade

"[GravBot] is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s really well animated. Some slight 3D effects along with the 2D platformer graphics make it one of the better looking games on the iPhone and I must say that the developer has gone out of his/her way to make the game look good.

In celebration of the upcoming Halloween season, SKH Apps, developer of the 101 question Evil Quiz! iPhone app, is going to offer their app at no cost starting this Friday, October 1st until Friday, October 8th. Everyone will be able to try out this suspenseful test full of ingenius questions, silly evil themed graphics and shocking failures that zap users.

All next week, the owners of iPhones and iPods can download Evil Quiz! for free on the iTunes app store. Evil Quiz! is a collection of some of the toughest common sense questions mixed with simple actions in between to instill confidence in users and then entice them into failing when they least expect it.

People are asked to answer questions like "Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?" Without examining the question, one might choose gold assuming it is heavier, but if the question is examined closer it says "a pound" of each object, which would mean they are both the same weight. Throughout the test, other clever questions are asked along with various clicking on evil themed objects such as spiders, bats and skulls. Some areas are purposefully tricky; the game may show an arrow that reads "next", but the directions ask you to press another arrow that displays "back" to move on.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* 4.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Evil Quiz! 1.3 is rated 4+ for everyone over 4 years of age. It is normally available on iPhone/iPod through the iTunes Appstore for $0.99 cents, but from October 1, 2010 to October 8, 2010 it will be free. For additional information about SKH Apps or Evil Quiz!, visit SKH Apps online.

i-Itch Inc has just released an update to their hit app, Let’s Bead Friends, which allows users to create virtual friendship bracelets. Added are new bead shapes and Halloween themed designs that will enable you to make fun, spooky, festive bracelets to send to family and friends with a personalized greeting tag!

Let’s Bead Friends launches in landscape mode and the splash screen offers the choice to continue working on a saved bracelet or beginning a new one. Starting anew, the construction window opens with an empty white string on a jeweler’s velvety blue display cloth. Beneath are eight small wooden boxes holding plain white beads of various shapes: *pumpkin, *triangle, *heart, flower, cylinder, oval, circle and diamond. Touching any bead enlarges it and places it beside the string, ready to be colored and decorated!

New in this updated version of Let’s Bead Friends:
The artisan may apply color and/or design to the bead shape chosen. Color choices include: red, pink, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, purple, white and black. There are many colored designs ranging from wavy lines, to spirals, to polka dots and this updated version includes, candy corn, skull & crossbones, bats, spider webs and fun jack-o-lantern and ghost faces! After selecting a design the jeweler may add the bead to the bracelet, modify it, or start over. Touching the " " sign, threads the bead on to the string. Different sound effects accompany every action, providing re-assuring feedback.

As soon as the tenth and final bead is added, the user has the option of adding a personalized message on the silver charm tag. There are four shapes to choose from and selecting one activates the pop-up keyboard to inscribe initials, a name or short message. With the charm tag added, the user may choose the "Finished" button, which displays the bracelet full-screen, to the accompaniment of "bling" sound effects and animated points of light sparkling on each bead. Complete, the user may use the integrated email and Facebook connectivity to share their creation, save it to their in-app jewelry box, or go back and edit any feature.

XMG Studio is launching an update to Cannon Cadets, their latest iDevice game, that is sure to please mobile gaming enthusiasts. There is an all-too-common scenario where a player races through the levels to finish the game, only to be left feeling as though they wanted more. This is no longer an issue with the newly introduced Cannon Cadets Level Builder which will both unleash the players’ creativity and expand their game-play infinitely.

"There are some great physics launching games in the market, and we believe Cannon Cadets will earn its position alongside the best," said Ray Sharma, CEO of XMG Studio. "We knew to stand out we would need to bring players something new, something that would really revolutionize the game-play experience, and we’re happy to say that we have done that with this latest update to Cannon Cadets."

The easy-to-use Level Builder will let users flex their creativity and build their own dream levels. Using the same tools that the game’s designers did, users can create levels as simple or complex as they like. Once built, levels can be played immediately or shared with others in the game’s new Cannon Cadets Academy, a community built directly into the game. Even if users don’t want to build levels themselves, they can download and play user-created levels anytime they like.

In addition to the Level Builder, XMG listened to the feedback from users to improve the game-play experience even more. A new ranking system has been added that will challenge players to beat their own scores. There is also a completely revamped soundtrack with new and improved sound effects. Finally, the game’s already stunning graphics have been optimized for Retina Display.

Supported Languages:
* US English, Chinese, French, German and Japanese
