Every young child learns very quickly how to cut a cake so that everyone gets the same share (or, more likely, to make sure that their sister doesn't get more cake than they do). It's a skill that never really leaves you, which is a good thing if you've downloaded Slice It, the latest puzzle game from Com2us.
Just like the proverbial bus service, yet another unofficial Dropbox application has appeared in the Ovi Store. Last week, Rafe reviewed Cutebox, now we have DropML, another Qt-based application for accessing your files in the cloud. With a different feature set and user interface, how well does DropML measure up? Read on to find out.
If you've ever fantasised about blasting off into space and saving the the world, then Celestial Navigator might be the game for you. Be warned though, there's a rather twisted plot quirk. You play the game as a number of pilots from a world of Teddy Bears! Even more twisted is that you have to embark on a series of ill-fated missions where each Teddy inevitably dies. If you have the right stuff to avoid astronomical obstacles, and the grit see countless Teddies perish, then you might be who we're looking for...
You know what you need for a long flight to America? A puzzle game that's relatively simple to understand, has some hidden depth, and one you can continue to play with no penalty even if you fall asleep in the middle of the level thanks to jet-lag. In other words, Sheep Mania: Puzzle Islands.
Making the most of photos captured on your phone is a perennial challenge; most phones now do come with some type of photo uploading and sharing functionality out of the box, but there's always room for improvement. Molome, developed by HLP, is a new entrant in the social photo sharing space, providing a way to upload photos to the web and share them with your followers and friends on Twitter and Facebook. As we'll see in this review, its optional photo filters add an extra dimension of creativity, potentially turning ordinary photos into something extraordinary.
Getting old is something that (hopefully) happens to all of us. Before that happens though, there's a fair chance that at some point in your life you'll have to look after an elderly relative. Can mobile technology help make the task any easier? That's what the makers of Elderly Care have tried to do with their application. If you're looking after an elderly relative, read on to see if this might help you.
There's not a huge amount of choice for fans of real-time strategy games, but thankfully Net Lizard, with their release of Moon Colonization, have provided genre afficianados with a compelling game that manages to balance all the required elements, albeit saddling the title with a slightly ropey fictional framing device.
Come on, we've all been there. It's a day out with family, at a big attraction. At the end of the day, you all head for the car park, stare at five thousand neatly parked cars and think "Now where the heck are we?". The free Parking 2 aims to solve this problem - and rather elegantly and with a not insignificant amount of flair and geek cool along the way.
It's rare that you trace the rise of a new genre of game to a single title, but that's what Firemint's "Flight Control" managed when it was released on the iPhone. It stayed in the iOS family for a long time, but it's now working through the conversions and onto other platforms, including Symbian. I was hoping for the Concorde of line-drawing games, but instead I feel like I'm the last person to board a Ryanair flight to London Prestwick.
Thanks to Nokia's Calling All Innovators and the release of the Qt 1.1 SDK we've been seeing a number of interesting games and applications published recently. Bijou 360, an implementation of the popular gem matching style of game, is a good example of this. It's been written by Tom Udomprasert, in his spare time, and boasts a feature that we can't recall seeing in any other Symbian game: It is playable, to a real purpose, in four different orientations.
