Kick back in your chair, put your legs up and play the game in your lap for the best playing experience.GAME DETAILSWith no complex controls to learn or buttons to press, CHAIN LINK HD only requires one finger to play. Touch and drag an assortment of shapes across the screen to chain them with other similar shapes and send them into the pulsating vortex to score. The longer the chain the more points awarded but long chains risk colliding with foreign shapes which will destroy the chain and potentially end the game. With four degrees of difficulty, players of any age can enjoy this game.FEATURES TWELVE POWER-UPSThere are 17 power-ups a chain can collect on contact to ensure survivability and maximize points, ranging from miniature chains to multi-colored chains to metamorphosis to chain invincibility.FOUR UNIQUE GAME MODES• Hyper Chain - Score as high as possible in 60 seconds.• Timed game mode - Race against the clock to earn enough points to add additional play time. Collisions subtract points but don't end the game. • Arcade game mode - Shapes fly across the screen and any collision will end the game. Offers leisurely play with no time limits.• Static game mode - Shapes are created on a static grid and don't move. Clear the screen by chaining around the maze of other colorful shapes without getting too close. This mode gives the player three lives so one mistake won't end the game.ADVANCED OPENFEINT SUPPORTCompetitive nature is built into the game! Send in-game challenges to your friends. Winning results can be posted to facebook and twitter to gloat to your friends. You also get real time notices as you beat high scores and climb the ranks of the global leaderboards that can optionally be posted to facebook and twitter. Plus over 40 leader boards and 30 achievements.QUEST SYSTEMEarn and complete quests for extra points and unlock new power-ups.FLUID CHAIN MOVEMENTThe chain will react based on how fast or slow you move your finger.SCORE MULTIPLIERSThere are three ways to earn additional points:• Speedster - Make a chain fast. The first one is a 2x bonus but if you do more speed chains within a short period of time then the multiplier increases.• Repeater - Score repeated times with the same type of chain.• Traveler - You can also try an optional flick to send the chain flying towards the vortex for extra points. The further away you are from the vortex when you flick, the higher the score.OTHER AMAZING FEATURES• Offers easy, medium and hard degrees of difficulty! A special hardcore mode is offered for players who have mastered the art of chaining.• A rich 3D sound experience when using headphones.• High production value with beautiful graphics, advanced particle effects and fluid chain movement.• Designed exclusively to take advantage of touch screen devices so controlling the game feels natural.• Listen to your own music from your media library as you play.• Save and restore your game at any time.

Vexorg Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2009 273 0 0 iPhone Developer http://softwarebeyondlimits.com/ #5 Vexorg, Mar 22, 2010 Not for the initial release but might come later. But without iPad hardware to test it out on it before the release date on April 3rd, is hard to judge if multi-touch would improve the game on a larger screen. cranker Well-Known Member Jul 28, 2009 3,166 0 0 Montreal #6 cranker, Mar 23, 2010 Nice, It's on my buy list !!

Vexorg Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2009 273 0 0 iPhone Developer http://softwarebeyondlimits.com/ #8 Vexorg, Mar 26, 2010 Chain Link HD is currently in review by Apple to be released in time for the iPad launch April 3rd! Vexorg Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2009 273 0 0 iPhone Developer http://softwarebeyondlimits.com/ #9 Vexorg, Mar 31, 2010 The final version of Chain Link HD was submitted to Apple last night in time for the iPad launch on April 3rd. A unique feature only found in the iPad version is multitouch to control two chains at once! The iPad version uses a separate online leaderboard so the iPhone players will not have to complete score-wise against players who can make longer chains. I also included a new screenshot in the original post. JCat Well-Known Member Mar 11, 2009 515 0 0 CEO E-Commerce NY #10 JCat, Mar 31, 2010 Yow I purchased the itouch version 2 days ago- never thinking the iPad version would be out so fast. Chain Link and Tilt to Live are the two most addictive games, IMO. I only wish I would have waited for the iPad version. :<> Talk about a game launch - I lost track with how many iPad games are coming out on day 1 Vexorg Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2009 273 0 0 iPhone Developer http://softwarebeyondlimits.com/ #11 Vexorg, Mar 31, 2010 Yeah, the iPad launch is going to be chaos with all the different games and apps fighting to get attention. How are people going to decide what to download with so many options. But if they spent $500+ bucks on an iPad, then they can certainly afford a ton of new 99 cent apps for the iPad. That $500 iPad is worthless without some good apps for it! Vexorg Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2009 273 0 0 iPhone Developer http://softwarebeyondlimits.com/ #12 Vexorg, Apr 1, 2010 It is up in the iTunes store now. You can see the icon under "Other Games by this Developer" but I'm not sure yet if that will bring up the page in iTunes. It currently doesn't show anything for the iTunes web page.
