Aurora Feint: The Beginning

Posted 07/29/2008 at 3:19am | by Adam Berenstain

Comment

Just another hard day’s work in the magical mine.

Aurora Feint is a fantasy-themed puzzle game that boasts gorgeous artwork, elaborate visual effects, and a rich, dramatic soundtrack. It’s easily one of the most polished games we’ve seen from the App Store yet - give or take some hiccups.

Ratchet Up Your Mac's Audio Output

Think you’ve got better ears than the sound engineer who mastered your favorite CD? Maybe you’d just like to get the most from the tinny speakers on your $2,000 laptop. The folks at JoeSoft are here to help. For a lot less than the cost of pro audio hardware, you can try your hand at soundscaping on your Mac with Hear.

For every useful, functional tool in the App Store lies a piece of software that serves no other purpose than to kill time. From games and sight gags, to visual teasers and flashlights, the App Store is filled with free and low-cost ways to make your commute—or morning meeting—that much bearable.

De Blob

This is your brain on De Blob.

He’s a lone hero on a mission to rescue his city from the forces of darkness. No, not Batman - we’re talking about De Blob for your iPhone or iPod touch. The I.N.K.T. Corporation has drained all the color from Chroma City, and it’s up to you to undo their monochromatic mischief.

Song Summoner

iPod game misplaces its melody but still carries a tune.

Song Summoner’s top-40-worthy hook creates elaborate game characters by analyzing your iPod’s tunes. This mechanic could have been the game’s centerpiece, but seems unconnected; we couldn’t find a coloration between styles of music and the resulting characters. Even after wasting its great musical premise, Song Summoner provides a surprisingly rich role-playing game. Any fans of that genre will enjoy giving it a spin.

Zoho

Snappy performance and Flickr integration make it a real contender.

Zoho occupies a middle ground between Google Docs and ThinkFree. The suite offers more features than Google and links to a much larger set of apps that cover almost every office need.

ThinkFree Online

ThinkFree online performance lags behind competitors, but the software nicely mimics MS Office.

The folks at ThinkFree chose a hybrid approach for their suite. A free online version is available, but we were regularly reminded to download the resident ThinkFree Office 3 package. And for good reason—the online, browser-based version is sluggish at best.

Another Mine

A shareware title to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.

Another Mine is a Mac-native clone of Minesweeper. True to the meaning of the word “clone,” everything is exactly the same. Well, the icons are a little different, and we guess it might take true Minesweeper junkies about three rounds, give or take, to fully adjust to them. After that, they’ll be sweeping for mines till their fingers cramp up. Go ahead, email the link to all your recent (or wannabe) switcher friends who complain about the Mac’s lack of Minesweeper. They’ll appreciate it.

Word Twist shareware game

A shareware title to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.

Word Twist tasks you with solving a Wheel-of-Fortune-style puzzle by building words on the Boggle-like game board. You click the letters to make a word, and if the first letter of that word also appears in the puzzle, that letter will show up. You get 20 tries per round to uncover enough letters to solve the puzzle. Regular mode is 10 rounds, Quick mode is half that, and you can customize the board size, number of rounds, and puzzle categories in Free mode. Sound a little boring? If you’re not a huge fan of word games, it totally is. On the other hand, true fans of the genre will be appalled at the lack of keyboard controls—mouse-clicks only.
