Frenzic 1.2.1

Frenzic is a frantic game which has the player match and then move colored game pieces to form pies. Trust me, it is a lot more fun than that sounds, and it is even more fun when you play against someone else.

Sadly, as with any game based on color recognition, there was a small portion of society that couldn't play Frenzic (or at least not very well). That's right, I'm talking about the color blind people of the world, of which I am one. Happily Frenzic 1.2 introduced a new option to help those of us who have trouble distinguishing colors.

The current version of Frenzic is 1.2.1, the most recent update fixed an issue with the demo timing out. Frenzic costs $14.95 (though there is a guru package which includes an lifetime of online play for $24.95).

Help make Frenzic an iPhone app

Frenzic is an addictive puzzle game from the folks at The Iconfactory and ARTIS, which we took a look at back in February. It's really quite fun, and would be right at home on the iPhone (or iPod for that matter). I can see myself playing Frenzic while sitting on the train.

The folks at The Iconfactory pitched the idea of Frenzic for iPhone to Apple at WWDC, but they could use a little love from you, The People! Check out this post at gedblog to learn how you can pester ask Apple to make Frenzic an iPhone app. Good luck, guys!

Frenzic

I should start this off by admitting that I am not very good at puzzle games. They often frighten and confuse me. Add that to the fact that I am not all that bright (as evidenced by my work on TUAW) and things do not look good for me and puzzles. I'll tell you what does look good though (see what I did there?): Frenzic.

Frenzic is the new puzzle game from the good people of the Iconfactory and ARTIS Software. I can't really explain how it works, though obviously it involves colored wedges and some power ups (what good game doesn't have power ups?). You have to play it to get a feel for the game, luckily there is a free demo.

Frenzic also has an online component allowing you to compete against other players, and land yourself high atop of the leaderboards. There are a few different ways to buy Frenzic:
  • $14.95 gets you unlimited local gameplay and 6 months of free online Frenzic play (you can renew your online subscription for $9.95 a year)
  • $24.95 gets you unlimited local and online gameplay forever (and you get to support cool software)
