Brooklyn, New York – Opetopic presents IsoWords, the iPhone’s first word search game wrapped onto a cube, and quite possibly the most gorgeously designed word game on the platform, now available in the iTunes App Store. Connect letters on the faces of the cube to form words, but watch out… the third time a letter is used, its cube is removed! “It will throw your mind into a loop once you see all the possibilities for making words on the cube,” says Brandon Williams, creator and programmer of IsoWords.

Whether you are new to word games, or an expert in Boggle, Scrabble, Bookworm, and their variants, you will have no problem jumping into IsoWords and striving to find the longest possible words. Drag your finger along the cube, or tap each letter individually, to form words. The score of a word is determined by both the length of the word and the rarity of its letters in the English language (think Scrabble-like scoring). You can choose to play against the clock for one to five minutes, or you can kick back and take your time in “free play” mode, and just play until all cubes are removed.

Not content with you being the only one aware of your prowess in the English language? Take your skills public and challenge friends to beat your scores on Facebook, Twitter or email. A simple link will be posted to your account, allowing any of your friends or followers to open IsoWords directly to your puzzle and play. Word lists and scores will be compared at the end.

IsoWords features:
* Unlimited number of puzzles
* Play with up to 3 friends in pass and play mode
* High scores database tracks every game played
* Challenge friends to beat your scores by posting to your Facebook or Twitter account, or email a challenge to a friend.
* Statistics screen collects your longest and highest scoring words, and more…
* Fully localized in Spanish, French and German

Device Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod Touch 3.0 or later

IsoWords is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Rowmote Pro emulates the Apple hardware remote control, providing application-specific controls through a consistent interface, while featuring a multitouch trackpad and keyboard.

Rowmote Pro controls and switches between over twenty-five popular applications, from music applications like iTunes and PandoraBoy to video players such as DVD Player, Hulu Desktop, Plex, and Front Row, to presentation tools such as Microsoft Powerpoint and Apple Keynote, precisely as the Apple hardware remote would. The version 2.3 release adds support for controlling Amarra, Sonic Studio’s audiophile music player, and Firefox.

Rowmote Pro 2.3 also adds finer control over application-level volume, perfect for home media centers with external audio devices such as Apple’s Airport Express or external DACs.

In addition, Rowmote Pro allows complete control over the Mac with its trackpad and optional keyboard. It supports landscape full-screen mode, two finger scrolling and right clicking, dragging, and accented and international characters, over any number of connected screens and TVs.

Rowmote Pro evolved from Rowmote for iPhone and iPod Touch, which offers the same features except without keyboard and mouse support.

As of this release, Rowmote Pro 2.3 now also features professional localization into French and German.

Paris, France – The iPhone introduced new UI paradigms, yet the native photo album application is just an adaptation from the desktop. Your finger is the equivalent of the scroll wheel. CodeFlakes’s PaperTouch API takes full potential of the touch screen and introduce a more intuitive way to browse your documents. With PaperTouch browse your digital documents like flexible sheets of paper.

Sure digital pictures have taken over the world of photography and, more often than not, we read on screen instead of paper. Yet we all miss the paper touch feel of old school photo albums and newspapers. Thus the success of recent digital ink screen technology. With PaperTouch, digital efficiency and real world experience never got so close. Just push a document to PaperTouch and it instantly becomes flexible like a sheet of paper. Grab a corner and flip the page like with a real world paper book. Drop it and the page smoothly gets back to its original position. It can’t be more intuitive, it’s the thousand’s year old UI of the book applied to the iPhone.

This is a great API for photo viewer and eBook applications, or any app that need original and impressive UI. As a concrete example of this technology CodeFlakes developed PhotoBook available on the App Store. Because nowadays most people just keep their photo stored in their iPhone, PhotoBook brings back a paper touch feeling to your photo collection.

Any developer can easily add PaperTouch to their app with only a few lines of code. PaperTouch integrates in any classic UI as a standard view component. PaperTouch is available starting today.

Stargard Szczecinski, Poland – Polish game developer Anawiki Games today announced the release of The Perfect Tree, a Christmas-themed Match-3 title. Based on the classic Christmas tale of the same name, the game tells the story of a lonely little pine tree and the player’s efforts to help it become the perfect Christmas tree.

“We’ve wanted to do a casual Christmas game for some time now,” says Anawiki owner Roman Budzowski, “so when I discovered this charming story about a lonely tree and all the animals of the forest helping to decorate it and turn it into the perfect Christmas tree, I decided that this would be the perfect theme for such a game.”

The Match-3 portion of the game is fun, relaxing, and highly polished. Levels are completed by making matches over certain target squares, and feature a variety of obstacles and bonuses. However, it’s the progression between the levels that distinguishes The Perfect Tree from other games of its ilk.

At the beginning of the game, the player is presented with a bare pine tree in a wintery scene. The focus of the game is in decorating the tree, using a variety of bulbs, lights and ornaments which can be purchased with Stars, which are the both the game’s currency, and measure of performance. Stars are earned by performing such feats as chaining together large combos and beating levels in rapid time. The stars are then spent in between levels to purchase decorations for the tree.

The Perfect Tree is not Anawiki’s first seasonal creation. This fall, the company released a Hallowe’en-themed installment in its popular Runes of Avalon series. “We’ve found that there’s a high demand for seasonal games,” says Budzowski, “People get excited about the major holidays, and we had good results in trying to capture that excitement with Spooky Runes. We’re hoping that The Perfect Tree will be similarly well-received.”

“At the time there were no color creation applications for the iPhone,” said Rick Maddy, founder of Colorado based Maddysoft. “Since I had just completed my first two iPhone applications, I thought it would be cool to write an iPhone app to help pick colors and be able to view technical details about the color. After some time brainstorming ideas for features I began writing the app. What started as a quick need for some website colors turned into a several hundred hour project resulting in the release of Palettes. Since its initial release I’ve added many features, largely based on customer requests and feedback.”

Shoreview, Minnesota – Howling Moon Software is proud to announce a new version of the popular Chipmunk Physics engine. Chipmunk is a simple, lightweight and fast 2D rigid body physics library written in C. It’s licensed under the unrestrictive, OSI approved MIT license, meaning it’s free to use even in closed source, commercial games. Our aim is to give 2D developers access the same quality of physics you find in newer 3D games.

New in 5.0:
* New joints/constraints system: Much more flexible and programable than before. Joints have adjustable parameters now so you can use them like servos, etc.
* Raycasting: useful and implemented very efficiently
* New collision callback API: You now can register callbacks for collision begin/separate events among other useful things.
* Sensor shapes: Collision shapes that call callbacks but don’t generate collisions, like sensors in Box2D or triggers in Unity
* API for safely removing objects from the space from callbacks

Chipmunk Physics is used in many hit games including StickWars, I Dig It (Both number one on the iPhone App Store for weeks), Xmoto, Zany Doodle, Pinch ‘n Pop, and our own Twilight Golf and Crayon Ball! It’s found in the popular iPhone library cocos2D, and has been seen on the iPhone, Mac, Windows, PSP, and Wii! Chipmunk is usable from many languages including Ruby, Python, Java, C, and more. Chipmunk has a very active community that tends to quickly address questions and welcome new developers.

A full feature list may be found on the documentation and download page. A set of demonstrations is available for download. Source is included, so it’s a great way to learn the engine by example.
