Astraware Releases Golden Skull for iPhone

Get ready to take a journey through undiscovered Mayan ruins in Astraware’s latest offering for the iPhone, Golden Skull.  Gameplay is easy enough.  Just touch groups of sparkling gems to make them disappear.  Remove enough groups of jewels and you will earn and earn the 5 gold coins you’ll need to progress on your search for the Golden Skull. The larger the group of jewels you remove, the quicker you will earn coins and progress through the game.

I have played Golden Skull on Windows Mobile.  Like most Astraware color-matching games, it appears simple at first, but quickly develops into a highly addictive game. 

Golden Skull will be available in the Apple App Store for the very reasonable price of only $2.99.  Watch for my review of the iPhone version coming soon.

Review: Insaniquarium Deluxe: Here fishy, fishy, fishy…

Editor’s note: Astraware recently released Insaniquarium Deluxe. It’s a revamped version of an old classic, and it’s the only aquarium game I can think of where your fish-raising efforts take a backseat to fending off alien attacks. When Astraware approached us about doing a review, I had an idea. Since we have more writers and readers using a greater variety of devices than ever at JAMM, we could cover more than one version of the game.

But instead of writing separate reviews for the same game on Palm and Windows Mobile, why not set up a conversation between a user from each? Besides, hardly any two people play a game the same way, and I thought it would be fun to compare notes. Heather and her Palm Centro got on board with me and my Axim x51v, and we let loose. Heather’s comments are in black below, and mine are in blue.

Let us know how you like this kind of review. We sure had fun writing it!

Lauren: Why would killer creatures from outer space invade an aquarium? I mean, don’t they have anything better to do? What do the aliens have against the cute guppies, anyway?

Heather: I’m not sure why aliens need to kill little fish. They are innocent! Must be pretty boring in space.

Lauren: The aliens have got to be pretty tiny to fit into the tank. Hee!

Heather: I didn’t think about the alien size, that is true.

Lauren: That’s it! A size inferiority complex.

Heather: Must be. Plus, I also think they are mad that they don’t have any legs.

Lauren: Killer aquatic alien midget paraplegics.

Heather: I think Spielberg is working on that movie right now.

Lauren: So, what’d you think?

Heather: I’ve had a lot of fun….fish everywhere…collecting money and feeding them…and figuring out what kills them!

Astraware: The Bombs Bursting In Air Can Mean Only One Thing…FREE STUFF!

July Fourth weekend is nearly upon us here in the United States.  And then can mean only one thing.  It is time for the bombs bursting in air and the rockets red glare to give proof in the night that both of your drunken hands are still there.  Yup, that’s right…time for fireworks.

If you are like me, though, maybe you have small kids.  And maybe they don’t like bright flashing lights, and loud booming sounds.  Or, maybe you just don’t particularly like to let them play with fire and explosives.  Regardless, Astraware has a great application for you.

Just in time for the Fourth of July, they have released an updated version of their popular Astraware Fireworks application.  Astraware fireworks is available free for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and Windows Mobile Smartphone.  Just head over to Astraware and download your copy today.

The good tidings don’t stop there, however.  Astraware also announced today the release of their classic game (based on the PC game by Digital-Eel) Big Box of Blocks for S60 phones.  In order to celebrate the release, Astraware Club Members can download Big Box of Blocks for a limited time absolutely free for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile Smartphone, or S60.  Not a club member yet?  Hurry over here to sign up, and then download the game from Astraware’s site.
