Spinder Blocks – The Amazing Color Matching Game

Months of game design, graphic design, coding, marketing, testing, (repeat these steps at least 4 times) are finally coming to fruition. With our sister company Capricorn8, Jam3 is extremely proud to announce the imminent release of Spinder Blocks – the amazing color matching game for iPad and iPhone soon to be in uHands! See the video after the break. Here is the press release:

Spinder Blocks is finger twisting Tetris-style puzzle game exclusively designed for the multi-touch experience of the iPad and iPhone!
Spinder Blocks is a Color Matching game that is fun, fast and addictive!

The concept is simple: Spin or Tap the blocks to match colors. Match 4 or more to make them disappear. Easy, right? Until you add a second column… or FIVE!

Along the way, ‘Hazard Blocks’ will try to ruin your plan by mixing-up colors! Thankfully, ‘Bomb Blocks’ will assist in getting you out of a jam, eliminating all blocks of a specific color! Use them quickly, they only last a few seconds!

You’ll need to use both halves of your brains when you start playing with both hands! All of this Making Spinder Blocks unique playing experience and a contender for best new Action/Puzzle iPad and iPhone game!

Spinder Blocks is a universal app, and can be played on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch!

10 useful iPhone app review sites

Apps for the iPhone are arguably more important than the phone itself. It’s become a jack-of-all trades device that consumers, business playas, and technogeeks all die for. But where do you go to find those apps in the rough? or the elephant in the room you somehow didn’t notice? We’ve prepared a short list of links we’ve been finding incredibly useful to do just that: find great iphone apps.

http://iphoneapppodcast.com/
Perfect for viewing on your iPhone/iPod Touch before you buy or download the app contains video reviews of apps.

http://www.iphonetoolbox.com/
This site is cool in that it shows what the app looks like on the phone itself. When visitors roll over, they get a quick snippet about the app. Clicking on it brings you to another quick introduction and a link to the app’s website or something else with a more in-depth review.

http://www.iphoneappreviews.net/
Clean appearance featuring quick blurbs on apps and always important comparisons against other apps that provide similar services. Got to love honesty: “one of the dullest games I’ve ever played.”

iPhone School has quick glances and typically uses video and pictures to help

http://www.iphonealley.com/reviews/apps/
iPhone Alley offers reviews and probably the best snapshot summaries with pros, cons, and the bottom line.

http://iphone-apps.toptenreviews.com/business/
Looking for apps for business? Need to say anymore?

http://www.imedicalapps.com
Quickly becoming an important market segment in application development on the phone OS, this site like the link above specializes in apps and news in the medical industry. This segment should explode with the advent of the iPad.

http://www.apprater.com/
Taking a different approach, apprater allows developers to submit apps for review through a form. Quite a nifty discovery engine at work here.

http://www.148apps.com/
A well polished site with an editorial review process. Well written reviews will keep us coming back.

http://www.appstorehq.com/
A personal fav, this site pulls in blog posts from around the blogosphere – fairly Spartan design doesn’t distract too much from the sheer utility of the site.

Definitely worth doing a follow-up post with respect to sites that focus in on specific markets like books, games, business, medical etc.
