08.10.09        AppCraver recently spoke with Miik McCann, Executive Producer of Seek Mobile Interactive. He shares his experiences developing for the iPhone and iPod touch. When did you start developing apps for the iPhone? Did you have previous experience as a developer? I started working on iPhone ports, of some Nintendo DS games I had worked on previously, back in December of 2008. The company I was working for went belly up and so I hopped over to Seek Mobile as they were getting started. Most of my experience lies in management and design, and they were in need of someone with that skill set. What / how many apps have you made so far? I’ve personally overseen the creation of about 10 different apps, so far, ranging from a tween girl photo app (IPIX) to fast paced bug squishing fun (Cockroach Crunch) with almost everything else in between.

Ngmoco has announced that on July 1st, they will be launching Rolando 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch. To celebrate the upcoming launch, they are putting both WordFu [App Store] and Dr. Awesome [App Store] on sale for just $0.99. You can check out the Rolando 2 trailer after the break. Interestingly, they also announced that when they do, they will also be removing the original Rolando [$4.99 | App Store] from the App Store, and suggest that anyone who wants it should get it before then. they posted the following explanation: Basically, we want the spotlight on Rolando 2 when it hits the App Store. We’re not discontinuing support for Rolando, we’re just discontinuing sales. And Rolando may return to the App Store in the future, but if and when it does we’ll want to include Plus+ support for it.

Rolando 2 will be rolling into the App Store on July 1, and to celebrate the release of this highly anticipated platformer, ngmoco is having a $.99 sale on both WordFu and Dr. Awesome.  That’s a ton of good news in one sentence. will feature dozens of new levels, four unique worlds, physics-based puzzles, and a whole bunch of new enemies along with a new 2.5D look that will really set it apart from the original Rolando. There is some bad news to go along with all of this good news, however.  According to TouchArcade, ngmoco has stated that they will be “making room” for Rolando 2 by removing the original Rolando and Rolando Lite from the App Store on July 1.  ngmoco hasn’t stated the reason for doing this, but apparently this isn’t the first time they have done such a thing.  The original Topple is also gone from the Read More
28 Jun 2009 alle 10:00 Per celebrare il rilascio di , previsto per il 1 Luglio, ng:moco:) ha scontato due dei suoi giochi attualmente disponibili nell’AppStore. Si tratta di e di i cui prezzi passano rispettivamente da 1,59€ e 2,39€ a 0,79€. Una brutta notizia, invece, per gli amanti di originale, la prima versione, che verrà rimosso dall’AppStore non appena Rolando 2 sarà disponibile per l’acquisto. Un rappresentante della ng:moco:) ha dichiarato, infatti, quanto segue: Acquistate una copia della prima versione di Rolando finché sarà possibile. Rolando e Rolando Lite verranno rimossi dall’AppStore il 1 Luglio per fare spazio a Rolando 2. Dr. Awesome, è un gioco carino dove ci troviamo ad impersonare un dottore che “combatte” contro dei virus letali, che stanno attaccando l’intera popolazione. Bisogna quindi eseguire delle operazioni di microchirurgia, riuscendo ad isolare il virus prima che sia troppo tardi. Viene utilizzato il database della propria rubrica telefonica, Read More
'Topple 2' on Sale for 99¢
Calendar16 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:13:37 UTC +00:00
ngmoco's recent winner of a 2009 Apple Design Award, Topple 2 [App Store] is currently on sale for 99¢. Topple 2 takes the original (no longer available on the App Store) Topple formula and adds additional gameplay modes as well as WiFi multiplayer an email challenges. The premise of the Topple series is simple, you stack blocks of various shapes and sizes to reach a set altitude goal within the provided time limit. Blocks can be rotated to fit better in to the existing stack and the game makes excellent use of the accelerometer. If your tower of multicolored blocks isn’t as sturdy as you would like it to be, tilting the phone left or right causes your stack to lean, potentially giving you the extra bit of stability you need in order to not send everything crashing down. Mostly due to WiFi challenges, both Topple 2 and WordFu [App Store] Read More

Time?
mac4389 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I'm a huge word puzzle geek. This would be a great game if you figured out a way to let the player adjust his/her time cause there just isn't enough of it. I know we can win a freeze time die, but still, please give us more time.
Dont believe the hype
Franky-7363:57 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Pretty graphics but game play is not smooth or even much fun. Too much effort was put into gimicky graphics and sound. There are much better word games available. Unfortunately I have bought all of the games by this developer and they all suffer the same way: pretty pictures but lame game play. Dont believe the hype.
Great game, some suggestions
Leontes 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Great game, keep up the good work.
Awesomely great
BillBinCA 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Within five minutes Word Fu had jumped to the top of my very short list of great iPhone games, vaulting past Wurdle and Blocked. I don't know why the developers chose to market a game that mashes up Scrabble and the cheesiest elements of Kung Fu movies, including some of the most spectacularly gonzo sound effects anywhere... I'm just glad they did. Best almost-a-buck I ever spent.
BEST Word Game and Ng:Moco Game Ever!!!
Superbad @ TheAPPera.com 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Why am I still surprised at this point how great ng:moco is at what they do?! I have been their most avid supporter since day one (check out Mazefinger and see my name up there).
Timer pressure too great
synthmob 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I liked this game and hunted for it the moment Kevin Rose wrote about it in his twitter. But once I got past the hype et al. I found myself on high energy mode all the time to be able to post a somewhat low score. This game should have the same time flow as Bookworm and not caffeine junkies' time span. Can we get a chance to increase time on one board maybe even if just for fewer points? I would suggest two or three times the current 45 seconds for that many dice.
Highly Recommended - Kung-Fu Themed Word Game
148Apps.com 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
WordFu is making its debut in the App Store! For those poor souls who aren’t aware, it’s coming from ngmoco, the team that created Rolando and Topple. With such an auspicious company behind WordFu’s development, you’d expect only the best from their newest game. WordFu is certainly different from ngmoco’s previous releases, but it’s got the same polish as their other titles. I’ve already admitted to being a literary junkie, and I’m picky about word games; too many are too similar. WordFu, however, has won my admiration, and I’m already veering off into “addicted” territory.
Another Great app from NGMoco
Cachanillo 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Awesome game, worth more than a dollar.
Fabulous - you must play the two person mode over wifi
SWorksRoubaix 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Very fun game. Sound effects crack me up
Awesome App!! Great way to pass the time.
zooguy65 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Just downloaded this app after hearing about it earlier this evening. And all I have to say is WOW! Great fun to play and I know I am going to be breaking this out anytime I have a free moment to spare. Fun graphics and lots of different pieces that keep the game fresh and fun. A must have for the average commuter and wordsmith!!
HINTS for achieving high scores
ThatOtherGuy 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
First of all, great game. What can be said that hasn't been said already?
Fun fun fun!
Leon Bloo 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I usually stay away from word and puzzle games because of how boring they get but this one is really addicting. Easy to use. I can play it all night long or just pick up and play. Hope this makes it on the top list because it's real deserving of it. Good job developers on a great game!
Un-freaking-believable game!!!
mahjr 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Let's start with the genius of WordFu: SO original I can't stand it! The sound effects are beautiful and clear (especially the echoed yell when you get a powerup). The graphics are stupendous, simple and perfect. The visual effects are enough and not overdone to slow down animation, yet very effective and enjoyable.
Potential... but no
WordGameLover 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I've never seen a word game with such a short time limit; and the shake word scramble generates very poor letters- keep getting the same letters even with the individual flick.... This game could be great with some tweeks, but just lacks fun.. Textropolis or Wurdle are great alternatives until ngmoco fixes the problems, which I hope they do as this game has good potential.
Best word game in the App Store
Nursedad 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Holy crap! What an incredibly fun, addictive and creative game! Give this developer credit...they put out some great games and this is no exception! Love that you can use each letter more than once. Once I figured that out, I was off to the races. Destined to me a top 25 game.
Word-Fu 5 for You!
Campmasta 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Great graphics, sound, and a fun interactive control. 5 stars for word-fu
It's just OK
usagirly78 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I'm glad I only paid a buck for this game. It needs some major tweeking. Longer play time or option to set our own game length, and pause when phone rings are two big ones. I've lost two awesome games due to my phone ringing in the middle of playing. Grrr! This game has potential to be a lot of fun tho.
The yin to WordJong's yang...
englishteacher1120 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I have over a page of word games on my iPhone, and WordFu has vaulted to the top with WordJong, and at 1/5 the price I paid for WordJong! Some people have complained about the frantic pace, but that's kind of the point! You don't have the luxury of leisurely planning your moves, I usually use the "Freeze time" powerup as a lull to plan for moves down the line. This game is tons of fun and full of depth usually not found in other word games. I only hope more powerups, game modes, and multiplayer other than over local networks are planned for future updates. Great job, ng-moco, for a fantastic game at a steal of a price!
Best word game
jonahman2003 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
From the best game developers for the iPhone comes the best word game on the app store! I love WordFu!! It is a must buy!
Very fun game!

Thanks to Kevin Rose for the recommendation. Love the game, been playing it a lot. Tons of fun. :D
S...L...U...T is a word
BittIes 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Word fu is fun, but the range of words is pretty small compared to other word games like wurdle. All that is needed is an expanded dictionary to make this game supreme.
Good game but needs an update to fix bug
bubbaMac 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Why does it seems that all the best games in the App Store involve the use of dice?! The dice rolling is not as good as MotionX-Poker or MotionX-Dice (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but otherwise the game is a lot of fun and promises to keep you entertained longer than most!
Good but needs less shaking
Ryanxl 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
The game is good, like the word spelling, letter flicking, etc.
Whaaaaa!
RyuH999 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
WordFu slices and dices other word games to bits! It looks and plays great and the power ups and ninja sounds add lots of fun. ***1 request***Only thing holding me back from that 5th star is an in game global high score board. Hopefully there will be an update.
Not all bad--actually pretty good
skip tick 4.0 stars Version: 1.1
This app could use a free trial version. Pretty good game... Actually quite challenging.
