The pressrelease didn’t mention if the puzzle games are regular games or wap games. Something that would be interesting to know in their pricelevel.
I’ve just recently had a chance to play a puzzle game name Jewel city. It brings me back to the days of Nintendo and reminds me a little of a cross between bomber man and pac man, mixing the best of both worlds heh. Here’s an article showing graphics: http://www.wgworld.com/site/article/jewel-city
Anyway a friend of mine developed this particular game, so I wanted to share it with the public. It’s only offered on Verizon right now, but that’s ok. If you like the game please let me know. The controls are a simple and the best tips are:
know which level you want to go to and press to go there a little before you reach that floor. and the ok button drops your lifesavers (literally). Enjoy!
