If you cast your minds back into the swirling mists of time you'll recall that Pocket Gamer spoke to Nnooo's Nic Watt at the end of last year about the iPhone version of the bubble-based 'puzzle shooter' Pop.
They went on to grant the game the coveted Pocket Gamer Silver Award when they reviewed it shortly afterwards, with their iPhone expert Tracy praising its "delicate balance between accessibility and sophistication."
Watt has been far from idle over the intervening months and is putting the finishing touches to a DSiWare version of the game entitled Pop Plus, but he nevertheless found the time in his busy schedule to sit down and talk them through what they can expect from this new portable offering.
Nintendo Life writes: "For the uninitiated, Pop Plus: Solo is an enhanced remake of the original game, Pop, released on the WiiWare service last year. The game garnered a reasonable amount of popularity and was widely praised for its simple yet addictive and eloquently executed gameplay. Over a year later the game has been rereleased on DSiWare with new additions and of course touch screen control."
Nnooo, the creators of Pop and Pop Plus: Solo are in the process of creating a set of apps for the DSiWare service that will attempt to make your life more efficient and productive. Not to mention fun and enjoyable!
myNotebook will mark the first release from the myLifeCollected series and is basically just a notebook that will let you jot down notes and other assorted items. You can even choose to play a quick game of Hangman to pass the time.
Below is a snippet taken from the official myNotebook web site that gives a bit more detail and information on exactly what this app will have to offer.
This is a good app and from a third party too! I hope more useful apps like this get made for the service. I need Flipnote Studio though...
If you read the comments section Nic from Nnooo discusses future apps and Pop Plus: Solo.
The original Pop WiiWare release was quite an entertaining little game that featured a very simple, yet addictive game play experience. With the introduction of Pop Plus: Solo on the DSiWare service, Nnooo hopes to capture lightning in a bottle for the second time.
It's looking funky. I'm like the line up for the DSiware which is gradually building up.
I thought it looks quite relaxing and fun. I also like the sound of the Adventure Mode.
What's so bad about it?
Awesome. Hope that Pop Plus: Solo gets released soon and I wonder what the app will be, hopefully something of use.
