Dapple 1.2 Now Available! (SALE!)
Sunday, June 14th, 2009
I’m currently on vacation in San Francisco after attending WWDC, but Apple approved Dapple 1.2 today, so I thought I’d better post! Yes, Dapple 1.2 is now available on the App Store! If you already have a version of the game, just update to get the latest version free. If you haven’t bought it before, I’ve put the game on sale for $0.99 in the U.S. (and at corresponding prices around the world) for 7 days! There’s never been a better time to get Dapple, if you haven’t bought it already!
Here are the details:
Dapple 1.2 now features a Global High Scores list! Track your own personal best scores, or submit your best scores to see how they compare to other players from around the world. The leaderboards track your highest scores in both Classic and Timed modes. See the top scores in the world, as well as the people ranked immediately above you.
Dapple 1.2 is also the first game as a part of the new App Treasures label to include the new App Treasures Web View. Players can view information on all other App Treasures games right from inside Dapple.
So go check it out if you’re interested!

App Treasures Unveiled!
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
I have some exciting news to share: the secret project I’ve been involved with for several months was unveiled today!
- App Treasures (www.apptreasures.com)
Here’s a bit from the official press release:
Five independent iPhone game developers announced today the creation of the App Treasures label: A collection of top-quality, indie games for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The App Treasures label is a seal of quality that consumers can trust, and will help users find hidden gems in the App Store. When someone plays an App Treasures game and they like it, chances are they will also like the other games available from the label.
Developers releasing games under the App Treasures label are carefully considered and hand-picked to ensure maximum quality.
The App Treasures members are:
- The Blimp Pilots (Koi Pond, Distant Shore)
- Imangi Studios (Imangi, Word Squares, Little Red Sled)
- Snappy Touch (Flower Garden)
- Streaming Colour Studios (Dapple)
- Veiled Games (Up There, Payday Roulette)
You can find the full press release on the App Treasures website, if you want to read the whole thing.
We’ve been working on getting this project up and running for months, so it’s fantastic to see it finally launch. We’re starting to see some press about it today. I’ll post some links once we’ve got a few more stories to share.
One of the really exciting things we’re doing is allowing players to browse other App Treasures games from inside our games. The Dapple 1.2 update contains a new feature that lets you browse the other App Treasures games, read about them, and then buy them. Other App Treasures games will be rolling this feature out over the coming weeks as well.
We hope you enjoy it, and we hope that it helps you to find some fun games that you didn’t already know about.
