They have arrived! The adorable BOBOLINKIES are here! These delightful multicoloured creatures play the lead role in this most addictive game of the decade.

Once you’ve tried it, you will not be able to put it down, so get the game everyone is talking about and link these BOBOLINKIES together according to their species.

These BOBOLINKIES will interact with your finger; they can get scared, they talk, sing, dance, non stop fun and laughter! Use the special items to achieve amazing combos and the accelerometer sensor to confuse them. Enjoy both the two game modes and the world ranking to show who is the best.

BOBOLINKIES, fun at your fingertips.

Price is $1.99?
That's exaclty $1.00 too much for another match 3 game.

I toftt.

I love this game! I haven't tried a lot a lot of match 3 games, but this one has a certain ring to it. The vibrate after a match, and the character design in them is actually pretty fitting for the game. The style is perfect and the graphics are actually really like-able. This game is worth the extra dollar you will see. So far it is my favorite match 3 game. I think you will like this game.

Full fledged review later.

Justininth - Being a power miser - can you turn the vibration off? Having the game vibrate all the time is not a good thing for me...

Yes you can (of course, only in the iphone since the ipod doesn't have vibration)

hrgpac

So besides vibrate and pretty graphics what does this offer over other match 3 games?

What match 3 games have you tried before?

Well, I'll say that this game is a little more of match 3, I would say that is "match at least 3" since the puntuaction depends on the length of the chain... (you can have 100s of points in no time mode)...

The tricky part is that you must endure the random bobolinkies so new characters will appear...

Another feature is the global score...

Check it out:

Lord Gek is in 2nd place in time mode right now....

6477
6478
6479
6480

I developed the game for this company (code only)...

I'll say that the design team for this company is great... This is a company from spain... The funny part about linking is they hold their hands and move their eyes and some curious effects... so I wouldn't comply abouth the polish... I hope that they give somo promos or put some in this thread so you can check it out...

The lite version is going to take some time due the "process"...

Well, I certainly would not say no to a promo code. The people that put them out do it in a variety of ways. Sometimes I am lucky - other times not.

I lived in Rota for about 4 years - some of the best years of my life. I miss it a lot - the tapas, the beaches, the ferrias... ahh - life was good then..

may I ask(if you were involved) how you came up with the name bobolinkies?

They defined the name and the characters (even the text)... I was curious about the name too but I didn't ask...

it certainly looks really cute

pluto6

08-14-2009, 01:03 AM

Very nice - it looks like it kind of plays like Smiles Drop and I like that game...

Oh, and who coded the in game music? I love the intro music - the actual game music because it repeats is always a bit hard - but they did a pretty nice job with that as well. I think the arcade 30 - 60 sec repeat stuff is the toughest to do well..

The design team man.... I'm frustated about the screenshots... they simply don't capture the dynamics of the game... that's why I rushed the video...

Videos are always good where it is uncertain how the game works - or if it looks like is copies another format. As long as they bring something new to the table people are interested. I have tons of match 3 and TD games.., and puzzle games, and strategy game - well you get the idea...:D

First of all thanks everybody for the comments on the game!

I'd like to add some of the features of the game that makes it different from other match 3 games:

- Two game modes
- 10 different Bobolinkies species
- Special items for amazing combos
- Use both the Multitouch screen and the accelerometer sensor
- The Bobolinkies interact with your finger!
- Vibration function
- Online World Ranking, for demonstrate who is the best
- Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch
- Multilanguage game, available on: english, spanish, italian, portuguese, french, german and polish.

In representation of the company I have to confess I was keeping the promo codes for myself, but I see you guys are interested. Though letting them go is a little difficult so you will have to convince on why I should give these out.

Right here, no need for PM.

Since it's raining outside I need some laughter so if you can make me laugh with your reason (s) you win a promo code that I will PM personally.

BTW, we have a fan page on facebook, we'll be raffling promo codes there as well.

Bobolinkies fan site (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bobolinkies/113472834927)

Of course you can also find the game on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=325018395&mt=8)

And finally the youtube video... english this time!

Interesting.. No one commented yet. Add the word promocode in the thread title and you`ll see a dozen posts here in a matter of 2 minutes:rolleyes:

Anyways I m not too good as far as making one laugh is concerned, so I`ll use the magical powers of copy paste here...:D

=================
This isn't a comment about this game, but you could post:
"Buggy app that will crash your device (Promo codes)" and 20 of them would be gone in 30 seconds.

But you`ll need to ask a mod to include the magical word "PROMO" in this thread`s title or else you could be waiting for a long time here:D:D

@kitmaker I changed the thread title in the first posting, but I don't know if it will show on the main page of threads...will have to get a mod to help on that

Not you kitmaker. I meant Copy/Paste :p

@Devil, you`ll need to contact a MOD only or else it wont change. I dont know if clicking the red triangle is appropriate here. It says to use it only in case of spamming or offensive posts. PM`ing the mod will be better, but I have no idea which one is online right now, as most of them use invisible mode here:rolleyes:

Why did the TouchArcader cross the road?

To get to the promo code on the other side!

bah-da-bump!

I'll be here all week...try the veal!

now I'll resort to begging for the promo-code, 'cause I can use the laughs while my newborn cries all night (he's the reason I'm up)!

They defined the name and the characters (even the text)... I was curious about the name too but I didn't ask...

I just looked up the word BOBO in BabelFish for shiggles, and the Spanish to English definition is "STUPID."

Wonder if it has something to do with the meaning behind the name, or maybe BabelFish just doesn't like me!

"Why did the TouchArcader cross the road":

Because he/she only had $3.17 left in the gift card, but noone answered his/her poll on what buses to get :D

-> probably only (remotely) funny if you know the kind of threads we have in TA lol

The youtube video of @kitmaker is good! I liked it... better than mine certainly...

Shermy808

08-14-2009, 09:59 AM

Closer definition would be "Cute stupid"

Sigh, to be stupid AND cute...

Not for you I meant for the word BOBO LOL, but if I were you I would have a serious conversation with BabelFish, just in case, better be friends with dictionaries, you know.
:)

It's nothing a box of chocolates and some flowers can't resolve. BabelFish can be so temperamental... :)

BTW, the video & screens do look nice. Congrats...

Hopefully in updates we can get more "special items". A bomb and wildcard are a good start but I'm sure you can think of at least a couple more. :)

One of the only times I was ever on the top of any scoreboards if only for a couple of hours.

My wife can testify one of my favorite catch phrases to describe a game like this would be "Cute & Stupid". Although to be fair this game isn't "stupid" in the least but more "simple" in a clever addictive way. ;)

"Why did the TouchArcader cross the road"

To stock the Cafe (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321980356&mt=8), of course! ;)

You gonna let that roadkill go to waste? :eek:

I must have guessed right about the name as the first thing that came to mind was Peter Sellers in The Bobo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061414/).

"Why did the TouchArcader cross the road"

because they thought they saw a sale on iTunes gift cards (sadly it was just a mirage brought on by wishful thinking). Unfortunately, the speeding city bus was neither a mirage or wishful thinking. On a positive note, the person is recovering just fine in a local hospital where several friends and family members got together and got him an iTunes gift card instead of flowers. To a TouchArcader this would all be worth it to get that card. :)

Will leave my impressions here once I try it out. Anyways, I`m a lil surprised to see so few attempts here.

The promo contest is still on btw, if any one wants to try his luck here. :D:D

Well I don't know that I am a particularly funny guy -

I do enjoy some of those things that make you go hmmmm...

A few examples - why is it when moms stay at home with their kids they are being mothers, but when dads stay at home they are babysitting?

Why do we type things like talk to you later - when we are typing?

Why did Imnosuperman type "Looks like a moderator heard you" when it is obviously on a forum thread and no sound is being generated??

Maybe they will generate a smile?

Lightening and rain here in Florida as well. Love the look of your game, and would love to win a promotional code to try it out. I think that myslef and hrgpac have bonded.:D
