GemMagic - FREE

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:51:58 +0000

GemMagic is a fast paced, simple and highly addictive board game. Simply swap adjacent gems to construct lines of 3 or more pieces to score points.

At the start of a game a board is filled with pieces. Turns consist of the player swapping adjacent pieces to construct lines of three or more pieces in either the horizontal or vertical directions. Once constructed the lines are removed from the board and the gaps filled by pieces falling from above, potentially setting off a chain reaction.

Points are scored when you create a line of three pieces. Four pieces in a line destroy the entire row and five pieces remove all pieces of the same type scoring bonus points in the process. When no further lines can be constructed the game is over.

GemMagic comprises three games in one. In the relaxed mode you can continue swapping gems uninterrupted by any external forces. Timed mode cranks up the pressure as you need to swap as many gems within the allotted time. Frantic mode will send your blood pressure soaring as you try to stop gems from being locked up and becoming un-swappable.

Game features:
* Choice of three game types to suit your mood !
* Three levels of play in each game type, easy, medium and hard.
* Highly addictive game play.
* Fantastic graphics and piece animation.
* Lots of exploding gems
* High score table for each game type.
* Full player statistics, we dare you to show your boss the number of games you’ve played
* Did we mention its highly addictive ?
* Apparently we did, but its worth saying again….
* GemMagic is just one of our large collection of best of breed classic board, card and puzzle games available for a wide range of platforms.

Omar Sharif Bridge

Wed, 19 May 2010 11:11:20 +0000

*** PLEASE NOTE ***
This product is the older version of Bridge and has a few less features and weaker game play than Omar Sharif Bridge 3. We recommend you check the new version before any purchase as Android Market does not facilitate upgrading from this version.

For those new to the product:

Omar Sharif Bridge could be the perfect game. Its ease of play marks it out as a firm favourite for casual gamers, whilst the huge depth of strategy and vast intricacies involved allow it to be a game that can be studied by the most serious card student.

Bridge is played by four players who form two partnerships. Players within a partnership face each other across the bridge table. Traditionally, the players are referred to by the points of the compass - North, East, South and West. The two partnerships are North/South and East/West. Games are played to the best of three. The winner is said to have won the "rubber". A game ends when one partnership scores 100 or more points below the line.

Featuring ACOL and Standard American bidding systems, Omar Sharif Bridge will challenge the most proficient player yet still allow the beginner to develop their game. Fantastic graphics and a strong and respected bridge engine allows players to become involved, stimulated and challenged with every deal.

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 10:50:19 +0000

Enigma requires you to use all your powers of deductive reasoning to crack the code at the master level.

The objective of the game of Enigma is to discover a hidden sequence of pieces in the shortest number of turns. The game begins with the computer creating a hidden sequence of pieces.

For each level of difficulty there is a maximum number of guesses that can be made. If the hidden sequence is discovered within this limit, the game has been won.

* Multiple levels of play, ranging from beginner to expert.
* Stunning graphics with choice of boards and piece sets.
