Kickin' Momma becomes Gem King, Hothead tells us why

by Mike Schramm (Oct 14th, 2011)

I am a fan of Hothead Games' Kickin' Momma, a colorful, Peggle-style title that appeared on the App Store a couple months back. Just recently, that game disappeared from the store, and in its place now is a new title called Gem King. It's free to download and employes a freemium, in-app ...

Daily iPhone App: Kickin Momma

by Mike Schramm (Aug 10th, 2011)

Kickin' Momma is Hothead Games' latest iOS title, and it pretty blatantly borrows some gameplay setups from Popcap's popular Peggle. That's actually ok from a gaming standpoint, though, because the game is executed very well, and there's just enough newness here to really enjoy the proceedings. ...

Buyer's Guide: 33 things you don't need if you have an iPhone

by Chris Rawson (Nov 19th, 2009)

Every time I walk through Warehouse Stationery (New Zealand's equivalent to Office Depot) or Dick Smith's Electronics (pretty much Best Buy), I'm struck by how probably half the products in each store are pretty much useless to me since I've got an iPhone. Thanks to the apps that come ...

Updating doesn't help your iPhone app, but price drops do

by Mike Schramm (Jul 30th, 2009)

Here are two different insights from Pocket Gamer about how developers can grow the profile of their iPhone apps. The first comes to us from the wisdom of Peggle, that game that I just can't stop playing. Apparently, they've coined the term "Peggling," which means lowering the price of your app, and ...

If you didn't jump to pick up Kaloki Adventure [App Store link] after our first look last week, now's your chance: the game is on sale today (not tomorrow, apparently -- you've got under 24 hours) for just $1.99, a buck cheaper than the usual $2.99 price. The game offers some fun but casual ...

by Mike Schramm (May 12th, 2009)

And now, it's finally here. 55 levels and 40 challenges of some of the most addictive gameplay there has ever been. Controls ...

by Mike Schramm (Apr 30th, 2009)

Bad news for those of you who've been drooling to play Peggle on the iPhone. As you may have noticed, it didn't come out in March as we were originally told. The good news is that our friends at Joystiq have gotten a new date for the addictive PopCap game's release on the App Store, and it's ...

Peggle coming to the iPhone in March

by Mike Schramm (Jan 24th, 2009)

We actually heard this last year, straight from Apple, but here's confirmation: PopCap Games has told our sister site Joystiq that Peggle, the distractingly cute-looking yet extremely addictive puzzle shooter, is coming to the iPhone in March of this year. If you've played Peggle (or any of ...

Yet more great apps coming for the iPhone

by Mat Lu (Mar 13th, 2008)

Yesterday we posted about the Apple press release announcing that the SDK had been downloaded more than 100,000 times in four days. It's also worth noting, however, that Apple basically confirmed that several well-known developers are officially supporting the iPhone and bringing some exciting ...

Peggle on your iPod

by Scott McNulty (Jan 14th, 2008)

It would seem that I am on a mission to completely derail any chance I have to properly prepare for Macworld. First I decide to perform a brain transplant on my MacBook Pro, and now I find myself playing Peggle like a mad man. We first covered Peggle last month, when a Mac native version was ...
