Tetro Mania Is Bound To Become Your New Puzzle Addiction!

The name “Tetro” derives from “tetromino”, also called a tetramino or tetrimino, and is a geometric shape composed of four squares, connected orthogonally. To complete each level in the game you will be given a number of Tetro pieces, and a level grid which must be completed before you can finish the level and move on to the next. Pieces can be rotated easily, and by using the very intuitive and simple controls, pieces need to be dragged onto the grid to complete the level. It’s extremely addicting and much easier to play than to explain! On later levels you will be introduced to a cute little frog who loves nothing more than to eat Tetro pieces! As pieces enter the side of the screen you will quickly learn that some pieces are of no use to you, and those pieces are ideal to feed the little frog, earning you extra points. But caution is advised as each number of Tetro pieces for each level is limited, and if you accidently feed the frog too many important pieces you would otherwise need to complete the grid on a level, you will fail to complete the puzzle!

Bravo Game Studios Revs Up New Features for Touch Racing Nitro

Bravo Game Studios, a Spain-based developer of mobile and social games, today announced an update for the hit iPhone game, Touch Racing Nitro, featuring new online leaderboards, achievements, and a ghost replay race among other new features and improvements. Touch Racing Nitro is also now a universal app, making its debut on the iPad.

The new update takes the dramatic design leap of removing the virtual D-PAD used to drive, drift, jump, fly over opponents, and launch nitros. The new "V-PAD" is an intuitive control system in which the players’ fingers become the gas, brake, wheel, and nitro power. Thanks to this feature suggested by users themselves, the game allows players to choose between the V-PAD and original touch controls. Touch Nitro Racing v1.3 also adds Game Center support, Retina Display support on the iPhone 4 and localization for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Currently, the game boasts 12 different vehicles, 18 challenging tracks, and 3 exciting game modes—Tournament, Time Trial and the all new Ghost Replay race.

Touch Racing Nitro is one of the top grossing racing games in the world and with the new Global Leaderboards and Achievements there is no better time to jump in and prove that you’re the best finger racer around.

To celebrate the launch, Touch Racing Nitro will be free for a limited time starting July 8, 2011!
