Last year, I had the chance to check out a new game from Concrete Software, Nintaii.  One look at the game, and you will instantly understand the name, which means patience, perseverance, or endurance in Japanese.  All you need to do is roll a block through the maze and out the exit.  Sound easy?  It is…for the first level or two.  Then the fun really begins as the spaces get narrower, and the block just won’t quite fit the way you need it. 

Now, Concrete Software has announced a follow-up to Nintaii…Nintaii 2 (which is very aptly named).  In addition to the fantastic graphics and gameplay options you enjoyed in the original game, the sequel also features plenty of new in-game twists like ghost tiles, glass tiles, and springs, and even connects to a new Open Feint social media component. 

Read on for the full press release, and then check out Nintaii 2 in the iTune App Store for $0.99.  For more information, head over to Concrete Software.

Concrete Software, Inc.®, a leader in innovative mobile content, announced today the release of Nintaii 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch to be sold in the App Store. Nintaii 2, the follow-up to the hit game Nintaii, is a strategic puzzle game that includes 100 brand new levels with new features and obstacles for enjoyable and challenging game play.

The success and rave reviews for the original game Nintaii, are sure to make Nintaii 2 a hit game as well. The Japanese term "nintaii" means "patience, perseverance, or endurance." Both games encourage players to use all three to complete the ever increasing difficulty and complexity of the 100 levels. Nintaii 2 keeps the unique concept of rolling a block through a maze of tiles and dropping it into the end destination to complete a level- but new twists were added including ghost tiles, glass tiles, and springs.

Another new addition to Nintaii 2 is OpenFeint, the social media component of gaming. Nintaii players can join the OpenFeint community to share information, tips, and hints with each other, give feedback to the developers, and view multiple leader boards. Players can earn points by completing achievements and winning challenges. This adds an element of competition, as friends can challenge one another, while still building a community for Nintaii players to interact.

Nintaii 2 invites a new experience for game players and raises the bar for expectations of a puzzle game. It is currently available for the iPhone and iPod Touch via the App Store along with a free demo version.
