iPhone game devs band together for Haiti relief
It's said that developers who work on the smallest platforms have the biggest hearts. ... OK, no one says that, but we're thinking about getting it started after reading about App Relief, a coalition of developers donating their proceeds to relief efforts in Haiti, which recently suffered a catastrophic earthquake. Launched by Josh Hernandez, CEO of bitFLIP developer Metamoorephosis Games, the effort is now 10 games strong, with all the developers (so far) donating 100 percent of money spent on those games for the next week to the Red Cross' work in Haiti. ... Sorry, we don't have a joke here. Go buy all those games.
iPhone It In: bitFLIP
I first heard about iPhone pseudo-puzzler bitFLIP from the game's developer, Metamoorephosis Games owner (and JPAG member) Josh Hernandez. I'd be remiss to not mention upfront the hesitation with which I approached reviewing said game for iPhone It In, given the development source being a Joystiq reader and podcast listener. It was a convenient delight then when I first loaded the game up on my 3G and had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing it. Though a truly egregious boot time put me off from playing bitFLIP during my every free moment over the two or so weeks I spent with the game (that time was reserved for Canabalt), I was still anxious to play it when my free time was longer than a scant few moments. Mixing interesting puzzle mechanics, great music, a truly unique (and often beautiful) visual presentation, and a variety of gameplay options, I can confidently say that there's more than enough enjoyable gaming to be had here to warrant your two bucks. %Gallery-78849%
