It should be out at midnight tonight I think, either that of Appshopper's being its usual incredibly slow self lol. Nice find!

It is out right now actually. We launched a little earlier than usual this week. But if it is coming from Appshopper they could be behind a bit

It's out already! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id909350351?mt=8

That's why I don't understand why appinfo doesn't work...

Sorry been under a rock, how's the game?

Yeah, it's just the Appshopper servers then, they're the bane of my existence lol. I absolutely love the look of this and it's Noodlecake so there's no gamble with picking this up. Will definitely be grabbing this!

Just in case AppShopper doesnt end up working, here are some details for anyone looking!


In Joinz you must shift and merge like coloured blocks on the playing field. To score points you are given an order of 3 “tetronmino” style shapes that you must shift your blocks into to match. However every time you shift blocks without them joining together, a new one enters the board.



As you advance, more colors are added to the playing field to make things more difficult. However there are power ups to help you get that high score you battling for. Successful moves will fill up a bar at the bottom of the screen and each time it reaches a gift, you are given your choice of available power ups to strategize your next move. As you gain more points, you will also level up, which in turn opens up more power ups to choose from.

The longer you play, the harder the game gets with more colors and harder shapes, but it is nicely balanced with all the available and unique power ups. These range from bombs that blow up any shape, splitters that “unjoin” all the blocks on the board and free moves that do not bring in new blocks.

You can also boost your score with combos if you set up your moves correctly. Each time you complete an order, your multiplier increases by one and will stay increased as long as your next move is joining two blocks of like colors. Any moves that do not join will reset the multiplier but if you can keep completing orders, you can keep increasing your multiplier.

Joinz is launching as a $1.99 premium title and contains no in app purchases or ads.

This game is out already and AMAZING! No clue why Appinfo is being a turkey with it.

5/5!

Such a seemingly simple concept, "slide like colored blocks together so they lock into 1 of the 3 shapes shown up top" but it gets so crazy once you're shifting whole segments around or when suddenly a piece of another color spawns right in your way to completing a complex shape.

The power-up system in the game is AMAZING as well. You'll earn a power-up at set intervals as you complete levels but they show up as undeclared gift boxes. Simply click on the box to tell it which power-up you'd like it to be. This, however, is where things get delightfully tricky. The different power-ups you have to choose from are dependent on your current score so, if you'd rather have something more useful than a bomb, right off the bat, you'd best just leave the gift out there unclaimed until you have access to one of the cooler power-ups later on. As if all it is at first is the placeholder of where the cool power-up will spawn a few levels later. At the same time, if you leave all of these gifts hanging about unclaimed they'll start clogging up the board while you'll need all the space you can get to form some of the more complex pieces a few levels in.

Glad you dig it! Yea you hit the nail on the head with the strategy behind the Gift Boxes. I usually horde them as much as I can and use them as blockers to shift blocks so they dont join. Went on a killer run and my current high score is 2423. Love to see what everyone else is getting.
