Featuring a damn funky backing track, Smiles for iPhone<\/a> has been specifically re-designed for iPad to create .. Smiles HD. Hit the jump for screenshots .. and video! <\/p>\n

Fairly popular among the iPhone community already, and developed by Sykhronics Entertainment<\/a>, Smiles on the whole is fairly simple game. Featuring cutely designed shaped characters, clean cartoon-esque visuals, 14 in-game modes and 3 colorful themes, Smiles HD for iPad is very much designed for everyone. Unlike other match-3 type games in its genre, Smiles HD is said not to have that “pressured” element. Instead, the game lets you play how you want to and at your own pace.<\/p>\n

Dependent on which of the 14 modes you choose to play the game in, the game is very much like the match-3 games we all love, however Smiles HD differs to its competition by introducing the use of simulated gravity – and creating the matches you need to increase your overall score, is just a case of tapping!<\/p>\n

“Drop” Mode<\/strong> in Smiles HD<\/p>\n

This mode is inspired by many popular puzzle games, but with a twist. Make matches, break Ice and Rocks to score points. Keep making matches for a combo. Twist and turn your way to high scores with real gravity!<\/p>\n

We’ve not had a chance to play the game in full yet, however we should be able to bring you an in-depth review of the app, early next week. On first impressions though, this iPad re-jig of the title looks great. <\/p>\n
