Curious case of Apple’s Review Team

We love Apple!

About ten days ago we sent the new version of our game Pobs to Apple and because of certain circumstances we had to restart Pobs Lite in AppStore.

Ten days passed and update (thank heavens!) appeared in the AppStore. Then we got an email telling that Pobs Lite was rejected. But there’s one interesting detail – for the same reason one game was approved and the second – rejected.

Pobs v1.2 available in AppStore!

Our second update for Pobs has been approved by Apple and now available in AppStore. Now game became more friendly for newbies (new difficulty options and usability) and has new different levels for Single and Multiplayer game modes.

What’s new:
+ 5 new levels for single modes
+ 5 adapted levels for multiplayer
+ Usability improved
+ Difficulty options added
– Bad multiplayer bug fixed
– Minor bugs fixed

iTunes Link: Pobs v1.2

P.S. Pobs Lite temporarily unavailable.

Finally, Pobs Lite has been released! Lite version includes:
- 2 game modes (of 6 in full)
- 3 levels in Classic game mode (of 15 in full)

Pobs v1.1 has been approved!

Pobs version 1.1 has been approved by Apple and now in AppStore!

What’s new:
– Graphics improved
– Levels added to ’2 players’ mode
– Usability improved
– AI improvements

Unfortunately, Lite-version has been rejected becouse it “contains references to game modes and difficulties that are not implemented” (translucent inactive buttons), so we were obliged to edit and re-submit it. It was on 16th of Sept, so in a few days it should appear in AppStore.

Pobs: Price has dropped to $0.99!

Pobs is ON SALE now! The price has dropped to $0.99!

Pobs

Pobs is a new amazing logic game for iPhone and iPod Touch similar to Checkers or Reversi, but with unique game mechanics – the game takes place on a level made of hexagonal cells.

Each player owns pobs of a distinct color. With each move you can choose either to jump with a pob or to copy it to a free neighbour cell. Consequently, all the opponent’s pobs near your newly placed pob will become yours!
The goal of the game is to capture as many pobs as possible. The game ends when no more cells are available.
