It is published by us (Handjoy) and created by absolutely marvelous lady Marie Bila – also known as Granny Coder. You can read an interview with her here: http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Gelex/news.asp?c=15588 or you can visit her amazing blog here: http://grannycoder.blogspot.com/ Gelex is innovative and highly addictive arcade game for both casual and hardcore players. It combines physics elements with traditional match 3 concept. It is designed and fully optimized for the touch screen with easy to learn controls. Main goal of the game is to help crazy physicist Alex destroy his newly invented matter called Gelex. Gelex takes form of small, quite annoying, jelly bricks and the only way to destroy them is to match them by color in special vaporizing machine. The more matches you make, the higher your score. The game is in the final testing phase of the development process and its debut on Apple App Store will be at the beginning of December 2009. Here we have some screenshots> Video from beta version> [hqyoutube]joQSLxfYHxM[/hqyoutube] You can find other videos from different stages of development on Marie's YouTube account> http://www.youtube.com/grannycoder or read her thoughts on Twitter.
Physics + matching game eh? It'll be interesting to see how the play mechanic works out, especially when things get a little more frantic.
Hey Handjoy and Grandma Coder, I'm looking forward to this but am wondering if you can give us some clues what would distinguish your game from something like Flexis? Flexis At long last your favorite innovative physics-based puzzler game "Flexis" is available to iPhone and iPod Touch owners. … $2.99 Buy Now Watch Media DetailsAt long last your favorite innovative physics-based puzzler game "Flexis" is available to iPhone and iPod Touch owners. With brightly colored blocks that fall and interact with one another in a dynamic, realistic manner, "Flexis" will provide hours of casual and engaging entertainment. Information Seller: Genre:Arcade, Puzzle Release:Mar 04, 2009 Updated:Nov 30, -0001 Version: Size:0.0 TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (1) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Flexis had some interesting ideas but the scoring was kind of weak (no real chaining/combos) and the physics were a little too spazzy. I'm hoping you guys can do this better! Any powerups? Any pieces bigger than "trinomes (three part pieces)? Handjoy Member Aug 9, 2009 15 0 0 http://www.handjoy.net/ #7 Handjoy, Nov 9, 2009 Bronos: the game should be submitted to Apple this or next week. When Apple approves it, we will release it. So I don’t know exact release day now. And about the promo codes. Yeah, we will surely give away some of them and make some contest. Nascor: I haven’t seen that picture before, but it’s funny LordGek: Wow, didn’t know there is a game like Gelex on iPhone. We know there are some games on PC platform and Gelex was little bit inspired by them, but didn’t know about iPhone one. Anyway, Flexis looks great! There are some differences; if you look at the video you will see them too. Like the physics and how the bricks act. Or control system. Gelex uses multitouch controls for rotation, which gives you better control over the brick. Score – There are combos and it is really important to keep making them. If you are beginner, you will end up with few hundred points. But if you are “pro” you can make 50 000 or more points in single game Powerups and trinomes – I’m sorry but for now the game is all about standard game with just a trinomes and without powerups. But if people will like the game, there will be updates with different kind of game modes for sure LordGek Well-Known Member Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 12,280 133 63 Software QA Engineer Saratoga, CA, USA #8 LordGek, Nov 9, 2009 Fair enough, I'm definitely interested.

This is actually an interesting marketing strategy, because the sentence has to appear on different sites to be counted more than once by Google. If people realize this, they will post it on as many different forums, blogs and news sites as possible, which saves the publisher the effort of trying to get these sites to announce the upcoming release of Gelex. On the issue of pricing: I don't think it needs to be free, but 2,99$ is definitely too much.
