We are about to launch our first full game. It's a unique concept where we are using bluetooth to connect up to five players. The game is shown on an iPad, while players all hold their iPhones or iPods instead of cards. Please let us know what you think!
We have submitted the app to Apple. As soon as they accept it, it will be available in the Canadian app store for user trials. We believe that the concept of playing board games locally using bluetooth works out to be a lot of fun. Plus it is completely free, so we hope many people will pick it up to try to play poker 'differently' with their regular group. Our main concern is that every player in the group will need their own iPhone or iPad, and this may limit the market too much. What do you guys think?
We are waiting for Apple to take it into review. Meanwhile, some screenshots below. Let us know what you think!
Apple has accepted 'Sparkling Poker' a few hours ago, and it is now available in the Canadian app store. If all works well we will launch it in all app store as soon as possible. Meanwhile, to those with a Canadian account (and with three devices to play it on): get it now!
Works great I just tried this one and used the iPad in combination with Apple TV. I works great!! I can't wait to play this with my friends and the poker table on the big screen!!
