Heh, you're too fast Paul.

Anyway more on topic, I think $14.99 is a little bit steep for these games, considering they are just puzzlers. That mummy maze from what I can tell is pretty much a clone of Tmax (released yesterday), which is a bit cheaper.

errr, i'd say tmax was more a clone of mummy maze (seeing as mummy maze is a port of their ppc game

but yeh, tmax just looks more professional, its something people should consider i think. Theres many fun games being released but 90% of them just look cheap and rubbish. The smartphone has a 16bit colour display, its about time people started using it. Of course, graphics aint everything, but personally speaking i like nice looking and sounding games, aswell as good playabilty. (btw, i aint saying that mummy maze's gfx look bad, just saying that tmax looks better)
