   Hello guys,

   Just wanted to let you know about the new upcoming Crocodella Software game called Entrapped. It is a strategy game, supports online multiplayer over wi-fi or 3G and it also supports high resolution graphics. It will be released on September 3rd and it will be free for a week. More info at the game's website.

   Here is a screenshot:

   Can you explain what technology and methods you used for wifi/3g online multiplayer? Do you have your own server? Thanks.

   The connection between the devices themselves is peer to peer, using the Async Socket (http://code.google.com/p/cocoaasyncsocket/) library. When the user chooses the online mode, the game contacts the main server (hosted on Google App Engine) and checks if there's a player already waiting to play. If there is, the server returns its IP address, and the game connects to it. Otherwise, it registers the player, opens a listen socket and waits for someone else.

   Hey, this is a pretty cool game xD
   I played it on my Ipad, and the hi-Rez looks quite good actually.
   Still waiting for some one else to be online though :/

   Hello,
   on my 1st gen iPhone, it won't run. Shows up Loading screen and then quits. Even after a restart.

   Get a 2nd/3rd/4th gen Iphone seriously :/
   I don't know ANY iphone developer who still supports 1st gen. Ipod/iPod Touch devices.
   You better upgrade, if you want to be able to play any games at all.. even on the app-store.

   Nice game - love the graphics, and the gameplay idea. The design of the whole app -- visuals, navigation, playability -- is superb. Everything looks good and feels right. There are only 2 items I can see that need improvement: Computer AI and Audio.

   I haven't played multi-player yet, but I will say the single player AI could use some smarter play styles. He seems to move completely randomly, without any sense of a real opponent. ( tried MP, but it could never connect to the server, and I don't have time to reconfig the router,if that is actually the problem)

   I think the audio side of things needs some help. You're good good sounds on the Crocodella splash screen (cool anim, too), and then the strings on the title screen. During the game, some level of music would be good, as well as maybe some variance/multiple sounds for the falling blocks. That whistling sound over and over is driving me crazy! (not in a good way)

   (iPod Touch 3rd Gen, iOS 4.0.2)
   These items notwithstanding, it's a fun game - thanks for making it!
