Jomtris v1.20 (Symbian OS Game)

Jomtris is a “tetris” style of casual game. You handle and remove dropping 4-tile pieces as long as possible and that’s it. One game session should take max 5-10 minutes.

The playing field is vertical 10×20 square field, there are different 4-tile pieces dropping down from top and you have to fit them nicely at the bottom. All full rows are removed, to give you some more space to arrange tiles.

You can play either with joystick or keyboard or both at the same time.

There is top-20 high score, pictures on left are from previous v.1.10 release.

This Development Release is made to request feedback. How should this game work, how to count and compare highscore, what kind of setting are needed, what there should be on the screen to make it look nice.

Quake III Arena (Symbian OS Game Port)

Oli Hinkka has just released a port of Quake III Arena for S60 3rd Edition phones. It features support for Bluetooth keyboard / mouse support. Also unlike with previous Quake ports, with this one you can even run a server on the phone.

This port requires an S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 phone (e.g. N95 or E90) and ARMv6 processor. It will not work on older S60 3rd Edition (non-FP1) phones. You need to install PIPS C Runtime libraries for this software to work.

Thanks to http://www.dcemu.co.uk for the news.
