Apple IPod Touch Applications Reviews: The Dot
Today ustwo has released their latest iPhone title into the App Store. Following the same pattern of fashionable style seen with Steppin’ and MouthOff, .™ brings a whole level of simplistic curiosity to the table. What was the title you say? .™, yes, .™
The story behind .™ is perhaps as interesting as the app itself. The team set forth to conceptualize, design, develop, and submit the a unique game to Apple in 48 hours flat. Accomplishing this was no doubt a difficult challenge, but at the same time, it expresses how inviting a development platform the iPhone is. Within the allotted 48 hours .™ was born. After submitting the .™ to Apple for approval, the ustwo team went to work generating anticipation for its release. Like everything coming out of “the studio of dreams” this campaign proved to exude creativity. Its tag line “Have You Seen the .™?” was quickly plastered on Twitter and other blogs across the internet. The culmination emerged as a Flickr slideshow of .™ in the wild where anyone could contribute pictures of everyday objects resembling what would become the game’s main character .™ After the sluggish Apple approval process, .™ is finally in the App Store and ready for consumption.
Launching .™ for the first time, you might not know exactly how to proceed. All you are presented with is a white pulsating dot on a gray background with a black hole. Soon you’ll see that your accelerometer is activated and the white dot responds to your movement. Drop the white dot through the black hole and the game begins.
Simplicity is key to .™ However, simplicity actually compliments the experience instead of detracting from it. You are .™, a white dot struggling to survive in a dark world. Your goal is to eat all the blue dots possible — this prevents shrinking to nonexistence. You must also avoid the red triangles at all cost. These will promote massive shrinkage putting you on the teetering edge of certain doom. Last as long as you can in the free-for-all. Upon elimination your score will display momentarily. Your score is the number of seconds you remain alive.
We love to see this kind of ingenuity coming out of ustwo’s London headquarters and can’t wait to see what surprises are next. The team has eluded to a future release of five more designer apps along the lines of .™ On sale today for $0.99, .™ might be the quirkiest, simplest, AND most addictive game you’ve bought in a long time. Plus it’s kind of neat to own the “first” 48-hour app!
One of the most exciting titles we’ve had the chance to preview has finally found its way to the App Store.
iBlast Moki by Godzilab thrilled us with innovative control mechanics and inviting characters. Here is an excerpt from our earlier preview:
The goal in iBlast Moki is to detonate bombs that you’ve placed within the scene to force the Mokis into contact with a red swirly space. Your speed in accomplishing the task determines whether you receive a gold, silver, or bronze medal. There are 5 worlds with varying locations, each unlockable once the previous world has been conquered, as well as the final Mokitozer.
iBlast Moki includes a level editor so you can make your own levels or download levels created by other players, which increases the replayability of the game. It also utilizes Facebook Connect.
iBlast Moki hit the App Store today with Plus+ Network integration. At $1.99, this is one blaster you should absolutely pick up.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This IPad thing is certainly looking very good… the many technical specs etc… although now I see this, I quickly don’t like it in almost any respect. I’m a happy owner of an iTouch (2nd Generation) and I do believe this thing has improved considerably when compared to the initial generation. And thus it will always be elevated, but remember that … Never get yourself a product from Apple when it’s just one year available on the market, they may bolster it even so they often modify step-by-step to acheive increase revenues utilizing their company goods… Quite smart people
