Today, I discovered a nice little user review on GetJar, of my mobile game Enigmatica. Enigmatica is a puzzle game for mobile phones, that I released a few years ago, and earlier this year went freeware.

The review goes like this:

Very easy to play and a cinch to navigate. Graphics are simple but effective. Thoroughly enjoyable (a little addictive), very happy with this one.

After reading this, I think the mean problem of that game, and even more so of the original Enigmatic Movements Mac version, are the graphics. That’s why I started the Smiley Puzzle Project, which in essence will contain the same gameplay.

So now I’m seriously considering doing a mobile port of the Smiley Puzzle Project. It shouldn’t be all too much work, since I can reuse code from Enigmatica. The hard part will be selling it, unless I could find an interested publisher. And even if it doesn’t sell, I can make it freeware and use it to attract people to the desktop version!

About 2 years ago, I made a puzzle game for Nokia series 40 mobile phones, called Enigmatica. It’s a mobile adaptation of my game Enigmatic Movements for the mac.

I tried to sell this game through Sharewire and Handango, but I only made a few sales. And since Sharewire keeps the first 25$ each month, I never actually received any money
I also contacted publishers and other distributors, but they didn’t like the fact that the game was only for the nokia series 40.

So since it never really got anywhere, I decided to make the game freeware! It’s available for download over WAP and web from GetJar. It already got quite a few downloads over there, so at least there’s now a bunch of people enjoying the game!
