Daily iPhone App: Pangolin bounces its way through your custom-made platforms

by Mike Schramm (Jan 18th, 2013)

Last year, I participated in the game jam at 360iDev, and my idea for a game there was to make a touchscreen 2D puzzle platformer where you could swipe across the screen to create platforms to close gaps or create a navigation path. Given that I'm still a beginner game programmer, that game ...

by Mike Schramm (Nov 27th, 2012)

Pocket used to be called Read It Later, and it actually did fairly well under that branding, as I remember. But the app was revamped to Pocket a little while ago, and since then, has been growing a little empire of apps designed to save content on one device, and pass it around to any number of ...

Daily iPhone App: Catapult King is beautifully destructive

by Mike Schramm (Jun 11th, 2012)

Catapult King lacks innovation on the surface, unfortunately. It looks like an Angry Birds clone in 3D, and that's basically what it is.
