    Initial Impressions

    Seems like a standard match-3 game until you notice:

    - You have to clear the gold squares to up a level
    - You can turn your iPod/iPhone around to affect how gravity works
    - Permanently blocked squares create very interesting strategic possibilities, especially with gravity control
    - There's a freeze button to hold all the icons in place while you move things around

    This is not your daddy's match-3, it's a whole new experience!

    The game also have OpenFient achievements, great music, and a good handful of game modes.

    This is an excellent game that I'd recommend to any match-3 fan because it's unique and so well done.

    Charmed Moving On Up!

    Thanks to all for the recent reviews and praise. It is great to hear!

    Charmed is currently featured by Apple in the Hot New Games category, and we've made it as high as:
    #24 US Games/Board category
    #36 US Games/Puzzle category

    #20 Canada Games/Board category
    #32 Canada Games/Puzzle category
    We would LOVE to break the top 20 in the both these categories in the US and Canada!

    If you've been considering buying Charmed, now would be the best time to show your support for Mind Juice! If you buy Charmed today it will help push us up a little higher on the charts while we are still featured!

    Thanks to any and all who have already purchased Charmed, and to those who will do so now or in the future!

    Here are a few screenshots in case you haven't see Charmed before:

    My Review.

    This Is an amazing game, I used to like Bejeweled, but never like this. From the moment I picked it up I was unable to put it down. If you're thinking of a match 3 game, this is a must. And at .99, it's a steal, Now can you say that about Bejeweled? Does Bejeweled have Open Feint? Does it let you turn your phone all different directions to play? Can you earn achievements with Bejeweled? Um..NO! Now can you afford .99? Then do yourself a favor and save a couple bucks and pick the better game in the process. You won't be disappointed!

    Awesome puzzle game with OpenFeint integrated for only 99cents ! It's really a steal ! The UI/Graphics are great ! A very good pick-up and play game. Highly recommended for any puzzle lovers out there !

    I played the Lite version for 20 minutes before realizing that you can flip the game in all directions- doing so affects the GRAVITY. I bought the full version last night.

    At $0.99 its a steal. I spent far more that that on my coffee this morning, which doesn't react so well to gravity. When I flipped my coffee cup upside down, it spilled all over the floor.

    Charmed doesn't make such a mess.

    Purple blocks move now? oh...this is gonna be different! I'm wondering if I should complete all the levels as they are now before the update just to experience them normally. I think I only got to 30 on endless. What say you MindJuice? Will this change gameplay dramatically? Also, will Xmas Charmed also have this update?
     
  10. It doesn't actually change the gameplay at all, so you can go ahead and update. :)

    The purple blocks just rotate in place so that the highlight is always facing the up direction. They never move from the square they are in. The gold tiles already rotated like this and I found it odd that the blocks did not!

    So it's just a cosmetic thing.
     
  11. Updates for iTunes Reviews and Ratings?

    V1.6 of Charmed was just approved and Charmed is in the New and Noteworthy section on iTunes!

    I'd really appreciate it if those of you who left reviews and ratings before could update them for the current version, even if you just left the review yesterday, since that was for V1.5 and now V1.6 is out!

    THANKS EVERYONE!:)
     
  12. Thinking about your comment some more though is giving me some new gameplay ideas!

    What if the purple blocks COULD move in some way? Perhaps slide along some recessed tracks? Hmmm...I'll have to ponder this a bit!

    And now the old system-engineer can play Charmed without WiFi ;)

    Congratulations from Copenhagen/Denmark :)

    I really hope that Charmed will get more sales than the monotonous and outdated Bejeweled.
