Hey guys!
I just finished my second game for Windows Mobile. You can download and check it out for free (full version is only 2.99€)!
Click here to download Tripplix!
Here's the games website:
Visit the Tripplix website!
The idea of the game is to match three (or more) blocks of the same color to blow them up. Chain reactions, large groups or multiple-groups-at-once bring extra points.
The game gets harder and harder while the clock is mercilessly ticking
When you're game over you can submit your score to the online highscore system to compare them with other players.
Some screenshots:

The game includes two different graphics sets so that it will run on low resolution devices and high res devices as well. Also normal and wide screens are supported (so everything from QVGA to WVGA should be possible). The game langauage can be set to English or German.
If you encounter any problems, find bugs or have ideas how to improve the game: Just post em here! This is your direct wire to the developer
Update 1.1:
Changelog:
- Performance slightly improved
- Bug in highscore system fixed
- Some rendering problems fixed
To install it just download the game again and install it over the old version.
(It should say v 1.1 when loading now)
thanks a lot
it looks amazing..
Looks and plays ok, but you would think that moving a row of blocks would be liquid smooth on a 528MHz processor like my Diamond has.
Lack of optimization in the engine kinda takes away from the experience. Imho.
OK, thanks for the info. I tried the game on 3 devices (XDA Orbit, Diamond 2 and HD2) where it worked fine. So I'll spend the next days trying to improve the performance
Allright, here's a liitle update (1.1).
Changelog:
- Performance slightly improved
- Bug in highscore system fixed
- Some rendering problems fixed
To install it just download the game again and install it over the old version.
(It should say v 1.1 when loading now)
Thanks for the game, I love the online Highscore...
that's really great to see you out there once again dude !!!
I really like this game and I'm gonna buy this one too really soon
Here is a small review of the app : Tripplix Review
Hi VanKurt
Beautiful, simple and addictive: the right formula
Hey, great game! I want more of those
Great game, I am having problem trying to purchase. I input info into the form, and "Submit Query", but nothing happens Is there another way to buy full version? Thanks, hope to see more like this(especially supporting VGA )
Let me guess: your PopUp-Blocker ate the popup?

I wish After checking your reply here I did set popup blocker off and try again. hmm... So, after entering info and press submit it acts like it will load, but then just goes back to the Triplex homepage I will try again from my device maybe or my other PC later. Let me know if you have another suggestion, maybe something I missed
As mentioned above there should be a popup. So trying a different browser/pc is a good idea. God, I hate web-development
hi dude !
it would be great if we can put the game on hold in order to come back later because a round can take a lot a time...
thanks again for this awesome game !!
BTW, I've also just bought it
I'm really surprised there isn't much more comments out there because this game is awesome !!!
Anyway, I've got an other suggestion VanKurt
sometimes when you move a square, it match with an horizontal and vertical line in the same time but there is only one being taken into account So could it be possible that it delete both lines ?
cheers
Mh, yeah that would be nice
I'm quite stressed at the moment, but I've added it to my ToDo list. Thanks!
great !!!
And no worries, take your time

Just a little application I've been working on to get back into programming, using xml (it uses the rss feed from icanhascheezburger.com), some image processing (scaling mainly) and threading (to make the interface able respond and update while downloading).
This is the first functional release of this program, I think without any (major) bugs. The next releases will focus on cleaning up the code to the point where I can release the source for all to tinker with.
It's built for devices with the .NET Compact Framework 3.5, so if it doesn't work, make sure you have the right version of the compact framework installed.
Features:
- resolution independant, will work on all possible resolutions (even unconventional ones) because the interface is scaled (though there is not much of an interface).
- works on both touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices: swipe left/right to switch images and tap the image to open it with the native viewer (to zoom and/or save it to disk), or do the same with the hardware dpad left/right/enter.
Ofcourse, if you find any bugs, feel free to drop a message inhere.
UPDATES:
Version 1.0.1 now available for download!
Changes:
- New right softkey menu allows for updating the RSS feed and exiting
- Left softkey brings a random lolcat for you to laugh at
Great stuff now I can haz lolz on ma fone
hahaha great app
edit: a randomization would be nice ...
Definitely gonna grab this.
But what I have been wanting is an app that lets you create your own. Take a picture, caption it (with different font syles, and placements) and save it, or send it... or even reopen it and re-edit it.
I see way too many funny things in my daily travels, and wanna share it.
Screens would be nice.
nice tiny 14k app
the other day i came across a 250k app that just turns wifi on/off. kudos mate
rofl i always wondered where to get these picz, now i has da link
nice app, hilarious indeed
Great app!
I was going to point out a bug where the latest post wasnt showing in the app, but I checked and it seems that it's not in the rss feed so it's all good.
I'd love to see the source code, I'm working on an app which would really benefit from being able to swipe left and right between forms, and I'm interested in how the images are scaled. If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to have a peek at it
Excellent idea!
Im am sorry in advance, but I just HAD to... ^Yº

Actually, I think I just had a brainwave - I'm going to play about with MouseUp and MouseDown and recording MousePositon to detect a gesture.
It worked, thanks for the inspiration
WOW Great idea I always wanted a wall mounted screen dedicated to lolcats, until that happens pocket size will do
Thanks all for the replies. I doubted if I should post this as I only made it as a test for myself, but now I'm glad I did. In the next few days I'll be cleaning up the code, and per request I'll add a random lolcat-function.
Oh, and StarMonkee: that's exactly what I did, when MouseDown is triggered I record the position, and when MouseUp is triggered I check the difference and if the difference is bigger than 20 (or something like that) I go to the next, if it's smaller than -20 I go to the previous. If it's in between those two the movement is not big enough and it's recognized as a tap. I'm not sure on if the values were 20 and -20, but it's something like that I think

GalaxyHopper
It'is time again: I want to introduce my new game to you. It goes by the name "Galaxy Hopper" and is a puzzle game.
Where download?
Here's the direct download: Download
And here's my homepage: Homepage
The . Cab is approximately 5.5 MB in size.
Game idea:
There are five difficulty levels with 12 levels to choose from. In each level your task is to bring the UFO to the middle of the board.
Any object can be moved in all 4 directions. The only rule: They'll fly until they hit another object. Moves into free space are therefore not allowed. That sounds simple, but it is not ...
Technology:
The game is based on OpenGL and has therefore very smooth animation and effects. The intro is realized as a so-called motion comic and there's an atmospheric soundtrack. Some screenshots can be found below.
Screenshots

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Installation:
Simply download the cab file and copy it to your device. Then tap it and follow the instructions. The best the game is installed directly on the device, but an installation on the memory card is also possible (albeit slower).
Compatibility / Troubleshooting:
The game was originally developed for the HD2. Other devices (such as the HD) should of course be supported, but here I cannot promise anything (just try it!).
On older devices the game will probably not run due to missing OpenGL support.
If the game does not start, crashes or freezes a soft reset should help.
Updates
Version 1.1 is now (2nd of February 2010) online. It fixes some bugs with the levels as well as other minor things.
So, what do you think guys n' gals?
Some kind of Feedback would be nice
WOW another great one !!! Thanks Vankurt
I'm gonna try it this evening on my HD
Wow! Nice, great stuff looks fantastic and runs great on the HD2
I would add the [GAME] tag to the title of the thread if I were you, helps with searching and notcing great new games
I love this game it is really great!!!
A little bit more smooth on the HD would be nice
Well the game game was designed for the HD2. But I've heard from many people, that it works fine on the HD as well.
Maybe you have something going on in the background?
Or a strange ROM on your phone?
Or it just needs a soft-reset?
One thing you can try is to turn off sound (music and effects). There seems to be a little bug in there...
Let me know if it helps! If so, I'll fix that.
will try it out and posy my review on it
nice game!works great on my HD2 but it's not anything heavy! I was expecting it to be more graphics demanding..
Allrighty! The first update is out, mainly fixing some issues with unbeatable levels. Plese use the download link on the front page to download the latest version (1.1).
Is the updated cab file for 1.1 having file size of 5,628,486 bytes?
Yes, indeed it does

Here is a xBox live stats app for Windows Mobile. Its called WM Live and is still in beta.
WM Live runs on Windows Mobile powered devices, and it lets you sync your Xbox Live friends career / status / gaming history on your device so you can look it up while online OR offline. NET Compact Framework (which you might already have installed) is required.
Plz note : I am NOT the developer, just promoting it.
Developers Page and download : http://m.zaamit.com/wmlive/ [ via 1800PocketPC.com ]
And here's the developer
Thanks for the post theone, hope Xbox gamers enjoy my little app. All and any kind of feedback / suggestion is VERY welcome!
thanks bout to download now
awesome
What versions of Windows Mobile are supported?
(Please say WM2003SE)
I know it runs on wm2003, possibly with some graphic glitches. Personally, I've tested it on WM5, 6.1, and 6.5 in both portrait and landscape.
Just smartphones are unsupported at the moment.
@ zaamit : glad to see you here
well, glad of being an ungreatful lurker no more
Great App
Thanks!
I'll give it a try
Edit:
Just installed it on my TP2. Works like a charm. I was able to add my Xbox Live account as well as my friends.
Updates are nice and quick, as well as the app.
I like the sliding in and out animation for the Avatars.
I did find a minor bug.
When displaying an Avatar that has been set to maximum height the top of the head is cut off, in both Landscape and Portrait mode.
Here is an example, my avatar vs. my friends avatar:
One suggestion is to add borders to the Game Details popup (unless its borderless intentionally), its a lil hard to tell that something actually popped up with everything being white. Not a real big concern though.
Over all a great app.
Looking forward to seeing this app evolve.
Thanks so much for your feedback and the kind words too
You're right about the popup panel: it's borderless just because it was the quickest way to get it done, but the plan is to spice up the graphics a little bit before v1.0, so I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Quick update, as v0.9.4 is now available for downloading at that same address. As before, any comment / suggestion is more than welcome
Also, if you really like the app a Paypal donation is always appreciated. Goes without saying that it's not required and I will keep up with development as long as people use WM Live
awesome man! thanks!
awesome program
i will try it in my HD2

Very true, that actually never got out of beta lol.
If anyone wants to give it a go and provide a sexy icon (original work) it would be appreciated... and credited.
Graphics are tough as I'm not sure I can get transparency to work on older devices (eg for the XBL avatars), but I'll see what i can do.
And thanks so much for the offer lesscro, I'll keep that in mind

Gonna give this a shot! Thanks for the development!
Edit - Works great! I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Updates were quick and accurate, game information was correct, and everything appeared fine to me. Great job on this!
FootballInformer is an WM app provides football/soccer real time score for most of the soccer/football leagues worldwide. You can also add match to Calendar or to Favorities.
Data are prepared on my own server so its data friendly too
App if FingerFriendly thanks Obelix_A and his SliderList control
Its first version and you can download also from web for this app.
This version is primary for WVGA devices. Probably it will be work on other resolutions too but not so nice, because there are only "skin" for VGA.
Tested on WM5, 6.5 and 6.5.x

UPDATE [12-6-2010]:
1. Now you can manage position and league as you wish.
!NOTE if you want add image or change some exist for league, go to the install folder and paste .png file with your own (flag) image. I am using resolution 40x40 for image
2. Fixed Favorites
3. Autorefresh is prepare
thank you. any chance to have swiss leagues added too ?
by the way, tested on my i900 wqvga and it works. a bit hard to navigate, but it works.
Thanks for this. It looks like a very interesting application. I will try it and post my findings.
First thing i noticed. The bottom bar (Settings, Refresh, Favorites) is cut in half like the first 2 screenshots you posted.
Also, do we have an Auto-Update function? For the live matches? Or it's just manual refresh?
It looks very promising app. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for comments.
Bottom bar is half on picture because is "hide". When you click on it, it will grow up.
Autorefresh is good idea
To Corwin9S: swiss leagues is not problem I will add ;-)
Add the Romanian League and i will marry u , joke aside, love this app

Bah, stupid me. You are right with the bottom bar. It's working fine. It's great that you are considering autorefresh, it ill be perfect.
Also it would be nice to have as many leagues as possible for the users to choose. I for example would like Greek and Cypriot leagues.
Again well done, it looks like a very promising application
Edit: Just noticed some small typos: Actuall Results instead of Actual Results and Favorities instead of Favorites
Thank you very much for this app.
Looks very prommissing
rybar73,
Any plans to include the league tables in your next release ?
Actually my plans are make application for more sports results. I have prepared data for tennis and hockey now. So this app will be more about live results.
But I am big football fan so maybe later
to stathis95194: typos was fixed thanks for note
Software was updated to v. 1.2.
You can download it from author's website. It's indeed a great update.
Thanks a lot rybar73
We have rewritten our game Shards - the brickbreaker into Unity and it is finally available in Windows Store (our first Windows Store game).
It is classic arakanoid / brickbreaker clone with 80 levels (each with unique background) and is free (supported with ads).

Game crashes immediately after tapping on the first level. Tested on Lumia 950 with the latest updates.
@sensboston - thanks for reporting. I tested it on my Lumia 532 (reinstalled from store), which is pretty low device and it works. Your device is much more powerfull with hires screen (1440 x 2560). I tried to simulate this resolution in Unity and game scales well with no errors thrown. But unfortunately, I cannot test it on real device. If it is some Unity bug, it will be hard to track.
I hope some crash report in WS console will give me a clue what happend - however, so far all reports just reported "Unknown" error
@SBC_games, save detailed log file and stack trace to the app's storage, I'm able to copy & send that file to you.
Also, have you checked your game on the latest emulators (Creators Update) release?
https://mspoweruser.com/near-final-...update-emulator-image-now-available-download/
P.S. You may also send me a non-store package for testing purposes (and for easy log file extraction), I'll be glad to help you.
@sensboston - thank you, I appreciate your help very much! You can send me logs to email "sbcgameshelp", which is at gmail.com.
Tomorrow I will prepare several package versions with stripped features, so we can see what is causing crash. Game scene is the only one with two cameras for example.
@SBC_games, sorry but I don't understand - what logs, what is the file name supposed to be? OK, take your time and send me a link (via PM) to special version, and I'll help you.
I just received an update for this game and now it doesn't crash anymore on my 950

thanks for info. In the end we had to remove screen deformation effect. It looks there is some bug in Unity when rendering into RenderTexture.

I had issues before but it works fine now! Thanks so much! By the way, have you considered adding xbox live features to your game like leaderboards, game hub, stats etc. It's pretty easy to get into the XBOX Live creators program. You could also try [email protected] too for the all the XBOX Live APIs that the AAA developers use. I would have sent you a link to register but I don't have enough posts so you're going to have to search for "XBOX Live Creators Program" .

Thanks for tip! It is currently out of my capabilities. Some time ago I had to limit scope of my activities - it is now Unity and HTML5 game programming. There is so many other araes I would like to explore, but, you know, it is not possible to do everything.
