I just submitted an update to IsoCards for the iPhone and iPad. This release contains two new features, and a bunch of bug and stability fixes.

In this update you can now try any of the in-app purchases exactly once before buying. So far the most popular in app purchase has been Speed, so give it a try with a friend and see how much fun it is.

You can also now remove poker chips in “free cards” mode. This was a huge oversight on my part when I introduced poker chips. To remove a chip, just bring up the poker chips screen from the menu, and drop the chip into the “drop to remove” area.

The bug fixes and stability enhancements include:

• Cards that are face up when passed back and forth between devices will remain face up
• Poker chips are a little smaller.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a card would go shooting off in a random direction if picked up and set down immediately.
• Improved “cup to reveal” detection.
• Fixed some misc. bugs and crashes.

The next release will contain a new suite of card games, both solitaire games and multiplayer games. If you don’t already have IsoCards, just click the big App Store button below. It’s a universal app for your iPhone and iPad.

IsoWords is currently available in 4 languages: English, Spanish, French and German. So, who has the best players? I will be using two metrics to determine this: highest scoring words and highest free game scores. Here are the current standings for all languages:

So, I’ve been working on a new game called Battle Nation. The above video is just the starting screen for the game.

Battle Nation is set in a future totalitarian society that is perpetually at war. The government has demanded all young kids that are about to enter high school to postpone their studies and enter a battle school instead. At battle school the kids are preparing for live combat by playing an assortment of computer simulations. You are one of these kids, and the story follows you during your time at battle school.

That is all the info I am giving out right now, but more will be coming soon.

I have just submitted an update to GeoAlert. It includes a few new features and a few optimizations.

• You can now specify the proximity to an alert (between 250 to 2000 meters). However, due to the nature of location multitasking in iOS 4, you should only use small proximities for areas that you have strong cell reception.
• A short message can be attached to an alert, and it will be shown when the alert is triggered.
• GeoAlert now correctly unregisters itself from location multitasking if there are no active alerts

I have also decided to release a free, ad supported version of GeoAlert. It has also been submitted, and so hopefully it will be available in a week or so.
