It's an OUTSTANDING game.

Even just including these past few days, it would be my best-grossing week ever (not that it's saying that much), but I want to get the numbers into the next order of magnitude so there's a bigger user base for word-of-mouth later on. Bool Zero Well-Known Member Dec 14, 2010 1,922 0 36 #7 Bool Zero, Mar 17, 2013 I'll sing the praise of this game as it is quite a fun and satisfying game worth the price of admission! Grab it if you haven't already; I'd hate to see a good game get overlooked! sealwong Active Member Nov 15, 2012 40 0 0 #8 sealwong, Mar 17, 2013 Ok, I'll bite.

I'm in. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #10 mrbiggles, Mar 17, 2013 what? so is this a matching puzzle game? how does this work? Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel KennyK Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2011 4,732 0 0 Scarlett Johansson's Hot Tub #11 KennyK, Mar 17, 2013 I've heard some pretty good things about it, bought, thank you! Bool Zero Well-Known Member Dec 14, 2010 1,922 0 36 #12 Bool Zero, Mar 18, 2013 Not a matching puzzle... The best way to explain it would be to compare it to the hacking mini game in Deus Ex: Human Revolution with a whole lot more abilities available to you. Another example would be those RTS games like Little Conquest, with your choice of nodes captured and using to capture taking a greater presence to the strategy at hand, with powers which can turn the odds in addition to make it even more strategic for either side. My best suggestion would be to go to the active thread and watch Sanuku's video!

KennyK Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2011 4,732 0 0 Scarlett Johansson's Hot Tub #14 KennyK, Mar 18, 2013 If you can't find it in the main thread, you might want to check his youtube channel AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #15 AnarKitty, Mar 18, 2013 Anyone sitting on the fence owes it to themselves to buy this. Good stuff, easily worth your dollar. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #16 Greyskull, Mar 18, 2013 That's not saying much. Is it worth Ninjackid's dollar? morgantj Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2011 230 0 0 Computer Specialist #17 morgantj, Mar 19, 2013 This game is better than i expected it to be. I completed the first campaign so far and am about 40% through the second one. It is fun, addicting, and has decent graphics. It is getting harder and harder. Before I bought it, I was skeptical, I thought it was going to be just another puzzle game with a hollywood hacking theme\skin. But this pulls off the hollywood hacking theme well with RTS sytle gameplay. While this is not a hacking game in the vain of "Hack Run" which I really enjoyed, this is alot of fun. I like the mechanics. I have been pretty disappointed with other "hacking" games that are just a mixed bag of puzzles. The names of the characters in this game remind of characters from the movie, "Hackers." I like Angelina Jolie from that movie before she became so popular and well known. Anyways, I'd recommend this. easmussen82 Well-Known Member Jan 2, 2011 221 0 0 independent iOS developer #18 easmussen82, Mar 19, 2013 Just wanted to let people know that for the next few hours (probably until 6 pm EST) PWN will be on sale for completely free.
