    Our upcoming iPhone Game:

    Great 3D balance puzzle for all ages: tilt your iPhone or iPod Touch and lead the colored balls to the matching tube. The balls differ in size and weight - check out the video above to see how they behave currently. There will be ten levels in the first version with increasing complexity (the video only presents two of the prototype levels).

    Accurate physics, beautiful artwork and an original background music make this game a quality and enjoyable pick up and play balancing puzzle.
    You should also try our other games: Libra Balance and 3D Jingle Balls.

    We will continuously update this thread. Please let us know how what you think about the game.
    Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

    The best proposals / opinions will be honored with a promo code.

    Tell me what do you think? Just wondering whether you've got the idea of the game just through this short video?
    By the way, the game is nearly finished, but we still do not have a good name for it. The best suggestions will get a promo code for Libra Balance.

    I like the colours far more than the ones used in Libra Balance (3D Jingle Balls looks much more appealing and you're giving it away for free!). I like the idea of this game, simple, yet relaxing... almost a Zen Bound kind of experience although that might change once the difficulty ramps up. Personally I'd prefer a game like this with 2D graphics but that's probably just me, the game still looks good as it is.

    Nice, this one looks good.

    I'll have to think about some names...

    How 'bout TilToCup 3D?

    Thanks for the feedback!
    The game won't be too hard - however the difficulty will be increasing with each level slightly -, as I tried to make it enjoyable until the end. The video above only shows two levels and the music is missing as well. The 3rd dimension is important, as together with the accurate physics it brings additional gameplay excitement, which just cannot be accomplished in 2D.

    Thanks, drelbs.

    We are looking for a somehow esoteric name (it should reflect that's actually about wizardry, alchemy, magic etc. and related stuff).

    We've finished the first four levels, new video coming soon. Until than, please help us in finding a good, esoteric sounding name for the game. PM it if you've got an original idea. Promo for Libra Balance or for this upcoming game in case you already own Libra.

    Video updated: now it includes four levels. Now you should get a better idea on how the complexity increases. Hope you'll like the artwork as well.

    Your suggestions would be highly appreciated. The game will be submitted soon, so hurry up if you want your ideas to be included in the game (and rewarded with promo codes ;)).
    Thanks in advance!

    I am interested.

    I was looking for something innovately relaxing for pretty long time.

    Here are my suggestions by the way,

    1. Zen Tilt

    2. Wizardy

    3. Charmed

    3. Magic Rotation

    4. Mystics

    5. Secretilts (Secrets + tilts)

    6. Magic Balance (related to Libra Balance)

    7. Open Secret

    Hope You like these. If I got anything more I will post it here.

    I am thinking about a level in which the arcs have a slight bounce to them. Or maybe a level in which their is some sort of switch that needs to be opened before you can progress down the tube.

    Thanks for the hints! One of the titles suggested by you will probably be the winner. Anyway, you will get a promo code for sure (let me know whether you rather want one for Libra).
    Thanks!

    Good ideas, thanks! However, as the game is close to the finish, these might appear in a future update.

    Zen Tilt has been submitted to Apple - now "Waiting for Review".
    We finetuned the game, including the menus and the gameplay as well. More details coming soon in a dedicated thread.
