3D Mines released

At last, the new game from Toyspring! This is not the famous ever-late game, which was promised months ago, but I just thought I should release anything this year to save my dignity

Looks top... if not horrendously mind-bending! Will stick it on my Palm tomorrow, looking forward to trying it out...

holy $#!% its a new kickass game! finally i shall have a third toyspring game on my pda.

It's great that Sz added a whole new dimension to a classic, while others are still adding colorful graphics to old games and calling them new (everyone is re-making Galaxian).
It says it works only with ARM processors, but the Zodiac doesn't have one! I'll see if it works anyway...
MunkYBoY
this should work on my Zire 21 right? its os5 and im pretty sure it has an ARM processor. i'll just try and report back.
MunkYBoY
ummmmmmmmmm yeah. Sz, would it be possible to make a greyscale version. it says it cant convert to 8 bit mode or something. it would be cool if you did.
Kristopher
It's against the laws of physics for a game this great to run in grayscale.
Dieter
crap, right when my Zire craps out on me. I have to send it back to get it fixed (its probably gonna take 2 weeks). But Ill be sure to try it when i get it back.
Sz
of course it works on Zodiac its processor is produced by Motorola but it has the ARM core.
as for the grayscale - i will see if a simple trick will do, then the the grayscale support would be ready in minutes! stay tuned!
Kristopher
That ARM/ Motorola thing is confusing. I have heard nothing about the Zodiac being ARM-based, and I figured Motorola was a competitor with Intel, who makes ARM. But as long as it works, I am
MunkYBoY
omg i'll be waiting!
Sz
yeah, it can be confusing, especially because the old palm devices (os 4 and before) were based on motorola chips (m68k).

good news for zire 21 owners! the simple trick didn't work but after doing a slightly more complicated trick the game works on my treo 600 in grayscale mode, which means it should probably work on zire 21 (the beta version is available from 3D mines homepage)
MunkYBoY
omg! thanks for taking the time to make this greyscale. im gonna test it out now
MunkYBoY
thank you very much! it works perfectly. the mines and progress stats at the top are kinda hard to see but it works for me

Interesting price - US$7.77
How did you come to that number, and do you mind me asking?.... how much do you get of that, as the developer?
Great game, by the way - the custom levels are nutty!
Sz
most prices are *,95 and *,99 - this is just boring
the commission taken by the software stores is between 25% (clickgamer) and 40% (palmgear and handango)

I was never any good at Minesweeper - and I'm even worse at this! It's wonderfully done though and a completely bonkers idea
Tiger
I like it Sz! Cant wait for your big one though

This game is abnormally fun! My friends had fun spinning the shapes around- until one of them finally figured it out. I have some suggestions/ feedback for this game:
* The time you are trying to beat should be on the screen at all times when in landscape mode, because there is extra space.
* The Zodiac should vibrate when the mines explode.
* Note: On the Beginner Truncated- Cube, I have twice already won with a single tap (in 0 seconds).

I will try to review this game at PDArcade, so you should be able to read more there in about a week.
Tiger
I have only one thing to suggest...
Zoom - Some of the shapes are really close to the screen, while others are far away.
MunkYBoY
ooh, i got 0 seconds on the "Almost 2D" level. hard to beat that
