  • Ngmoco Debuts on the Store: Maze Finger & Topple

    Ngmoco have been in the news a lot lately, but they first hit it big for being one of the first companies to, aim development at Apple’s touch platform, and secondly, secure funding from the $100.000.000 iFund.

    The VC-funded Silicon Valley start-up ngmoco have this morning debuted two of their three killer apps onto the App Store. Committed to making iPod touch and iPhone the leading platforms they were created to be, and focusing on bringing innovation into the world of touch, ngmoco are certainly an App Store presence to watch.

    After the jump I get into what these two new titles offer,
    and why you’ll be falling over yourself to get their third … (more…)

  • [Sept/Oct] – Recent App Round-Up

    With the recent removal of the ‘All iPhone Applications’ and ‘Most Recent’ search features on the App Store, it can now be quite a task to find recent, decent applications. This was precisely one of the reasons for Arnold Kim launching App Shopper a few weeks back.

    However, I’d like to take a few minutes to look at some applications which have caught my eye, and that I think you may just have missed … (more…)

  • Hot Pick: FlipSide5’s Touch Hockey – [Updated]

    Ever since the App Store launched, we’ve seen many developers attempt to design ‘the’ retro table hockey title for the touch platform. Many have tried, some have even (in my opinion) failed.

    FlipSide5’s Touch hockey is one of the better titles.
    Hit up that jump for more information on this pretty hot game … (more…)

  • Rapid Review: Plasma, An Addictive Shooter. – [Updated]

    Applications priced at 59p can sometimes be hit and miss. I have to admit by first looking at Plasma’s sample screenshots on the App Store, my first reaction was “here we go again … low quality graphics coupled with terrible sound effects” How wrong I was. (more…)

  • iChalky: The Hilarious, Dancing Stickman. – [Update]

    Yesterday I happened to be surfing the app store, not looking for anything in particular – God only knows Ive spent too much on there as is it! – and found iChalky. Currently the top most popular paid application on the store, and designed by Eric Metois, iChalky is programmed to respond to real physics. Managed by invisible springs, you can touch and throw him around, try and make him fall over by tilting your device, but whatever you do, iChalky will try to keep his balance – and it’s scarily life-like – facial expressions included!

    There are of course extra options for adjusting spring damping, spring constants, and floor/wall friction. The best bit? – Crank up those tunes and iChalky will be sure to show you some of his moves!

    Wondering what all the fuss is about? Why this is top of the App Store?
    Hit the jump for a full video look at iChalky … (more…)
