Hi,
Myself and a friend have developed a free iPhone game, called "idrops". It's based on the Mac Classic game "MaciGame" (which is itself a version of "SameGame" - the original idea goes back years!). It's all good to go live, but unfortunately we don't have an iPhone (we're based in Europe) to test it on. Could anyone help us out?
It's designed to be played with the iPhone turned to widescreen, with the browser address bar hidden. If you're interested, the development site is here:
http://www.idropsgame.com/
Please do let me know what you think, and if it works! The main things we want to check are:
Does it work (at all) on an iPhone?
Does it display at full screen, or does it get scaled?
Is it obvious that you need to hide the address bar, and if so, how to do so?
Does the hover-over effect (highlighting the joined blobs with a white border) work when you put your finger near the screen?
Is it easy enough to click on the correct blobs - i.e. have we made the blobs big enough? (or do we need fewer blobs in the game?)
Is anything else missing?
This is what we're hoping it will look like (tested using iPhoney):
We've lots of other stuff planned, like high-scores etc., but for now we just want to get this out there for people to start playing! Oh, also, it works in Safari 3 on a Mac, and in Firefox and Internet Explorer, with big fancy graphics, so you can play it there too. But it's the iPhone we're really interested in testing with.
Thanks to anyone who can help
Dave & Tim.
