Steve from Demiforce (of Trism fame) wrote very nicely about it which made me buy it. http://demiforce.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-can-save-appstore.html I think implementing Demiforce's upcoming Onyx Online, online scoreboard into this game would make it even better, as you could them compete against other players for the best score. Maybe something you can consider for a future update (maybe you already are working on it??). @3Dave, Yeah it's ridiculous that one would find a $4 app expensive - we are getting spoiled with all these cheap apps, just consider what games for the Nintendo DS or the PSP will cost you and you'll find that even the $10 apps are a bargain. $1 apps is not good for anyone in my opinion, they simply will not generate enough cash for any serious programmer, but if they make people think that $4 is expensive they push out talented people like the creator of this game which is really sad. I also find myself thinking twice about games that cost more than $5, which is stupid as I can easily spend more than that just on a cup of coffee at a fancy café. Great game and very high quality.

Version 1.1 should be available everywhere now, and I might even be willing to put easy mode in the "casual puzzle" genre - but just barely ;) Sorry - the app was down for most of Monday due to a screw up on my part when I submitted an update.

There is obviously a strong color matching component but if you're expecting a Bejewelled clone you'll be sadly disappointed. Pinch 'n Pop! is all about skill, coordination, and fast decision making. Version 1.1 (coming very soon) will include easier skill levels to provide a more casual experience for less hardcore players, but I fear my critter designs may have turned out too cute for the intended audience. :-/ BTW - Despite the article title and category tag, this is *not* a puzzle game.
