Prize number 32 – we have a winner!

I’m pleased to announce that we have a winner of the Big Box of Blox prize from Astraware.

Big Box of Blox was won by Sue Bennett for correctly answering the question we posed. We asked you to give us two main features of the game Big Box of Blox, you could have had any two of the following: Highly addictive blox stacking fun, Five exciting game modes, Cool user-adjustable graphics, Custom game creation mode or Atmospheric soundtrack and effects.

Thanks to everyone that entered the competition and to Astraware for the prize!

12 Days of Christmas (and some) – Prize number 32

We are entering what should be the final week of our competition so here is your chance to win ‘Big Box of Blox’ from Astraware.

Big Box of Blox is block stacking fun taken to outrageous extremes!

Using stylus or button controls, arrange the three-blox-high stacks as they fall. Match blox in groups of three or more, vertically or horizontally, to eliminate them – but that’s not all!

Don’t just stack the blox. Smash them, blast them, mutate them or explode them in a shower of flames! Use special blox including jokers, bombs, frogs, mushrooms, fireballs and slot machines to clear the board before it reaches the top!

Choose from five exciting game modes: Flaming Peelout, Blok Atak, Groink, Mushroom King and Asylum Cubez or even create your own combination using the special Custom Mode. Faithful to the critically-acclaimed PC version, Big Box of Blox features cool psychedelic graphics, awe-inspiring animated backgrounds, brain crunching sound effects and an epic music soundtrack. The game’s graphics reflect the dark and mysterious nature of the PC original, but PDA owners are sometimes known to go outside into the light, so Big Box of Blox also includes a gamma adjustment slider so you can select anywhere from dark and atmospheric to vibrant and acidic.

Big Box of Blox is available for PocketPC, Smartphone and PalmOS. Please enter only if you have one of these devices.

Prize number 31 – we have a winner!

I’m pleased to announce the winner of the 28th prize in our ‘12 Days of Christmas‘ competition.

The winner of the JAVOEdge NeXskin case for iPod Nano is Leah Finch.

Leah was one of only a few people to give us the full answer we were looking for: Hyper Touch Technology (HTT) – Its thermochromic dye allows the NeXskin to change color by touch or temperature.

Thanks to all who entered. There will be another prize from JAVOedge soon!
