Backflip Studios kreeg bekendheid door Paper Toss, de game waarbij je op kantoor een prop papier in de prullenbak moet gooien. Een ventilator zorgt daarbij dat de prop steeds wegwaait. Later brachten ze games als Ragdoll Blaster en Harbor Havoc 3D uit. Niet allemaal even vernieuwend, maar voor €0,79 kun je er een hoop lol mee hebben. Nu heeft Backflip Studios iets nieuws uitgebracht: Graffiti Ball, een gratis game met meer dan 100 levels. Het gaat om een game waarbij je lijnen moet tekenen om een bal op een bepaald eindpunt te krijgen. Daarbij moet je rekening houden met de zwaartekracht. Net als in Crayon Physics Deluxe teken je een lijn waarover de bal gaat rollen, maar in plaats van een potlood gebruik je hiervoor een graffiti-spuitbus. Zoals in onderstaand filmpje te zien is kun je de meest maffe objecten tekenen om de bal bij het eindpunt te krijgen, inclusief honden Read More

He revealed that a full $1m in that actually came straight from ad sales -- he's made deals with AdMob and other companies to put ads in his popular Paper Toss app, and he uses those ads both for straight revenue, as well as to promote his own games (more on that later in the talk). Farrior offered up a frank and honest look at what it was like to run an iPhone app company for a year. First, he talked about what Backflip did right last year. He said that he'd hired a talented team to work on his applications, and that the company had focused on distribution, which they'd "leveraged heavily" -- the more people playing their games, the better. They'd kept production cycles short, kicking out apps in no more than 12 weeks, and he said they'd made the good decision to "design for the medium" and the Read More

Another week passing means another batch of fresh apps pop out of the Apple approval oven and land in the App Store. As ever, I’ve selected four of the best from this week’s releases for you to check out. My top pick for this week is TimeTuner, an absolutely essential clock radio app for just about anyone who uses an alarm clock. Plus, I’ve also been looking at WorkSnug, Harbor 3D and AutoStitch. The iPhone Clock app does a valiant job of waking me up, but sometimes even Apple’s own apps need a bit of jazzing up. Enter TimeTuner, a gorgeous alarm clock app with a chic, ever-so-slightly ’80′s style. The app includes a glowing green LED clock, alongside a customizable radio tuner. Even without the alarm clock functionality, the radio tuner alone is a powerful app, certainly worth more than a couple of bucks. Powered by Radio Time, the tuner Read More

The Droid has been released and was accompanied by some new commercials. The commercials are clever, but are they enough to put the Droid in competition with the iPhone? The paid version of Shazam has hit the App Store. Shazam Encore is pretty much a five dollar version of the free version we all know and love. Check out the podcast for the details. Gamer’s Corner:Disney’s Jelly Car 2 has hit the App Store and is already number one in the Top 25. Firemint’s Real Racing and Gameloft’s Dungeon Hunter both got two dollar price cuts. Real racing is one of the most popular racing titles in the App Store featuring awesome graphics, 12 tracks, mulitiplayer options and much more. The popular RPG, Dungeon Hunter has made a big splash since it was re-released. Real Racing was originally priced at $9.99, and Dungeon Hunter at $6.99, but now both are just Read More

So, is it possible to fit another worthy line-drawing game into an already crowded market? Backflip Studios thinks so with their new game Harbor Havoc 3D [$1.99]. Like Flight Control, the objective of the game is to route your ships to their proper docks. Simply draw a line from the ship to the dock and you're on your way. Harbor Havoc 3D's claim to fame, however, is the incorporation of multiple layers of vessels that you must properly navigate. Depending on the map, this can include submarines, boats and helicopters or even submarines and ground rovers in the underwater map. Each type of ship can only collide with like ships, so keeping this in mind is critical for success. The game comes with 4 maps: Far East, Atlantis, Arctic, and Lighthouse. Each offers a variant in gameplay. Far East is your straightforward Flight Control setup where you are docking different ships Read More
