TouchArcade: In case you're not a dice person, a "Hard Eight" is a roll in craps. It's two fours – they add up to eight, and the matched pair makes them hard. Games on the Down Low has taken that single roll and built a fun new drop/match game out of it. Your goal in Hard8 [$0.99] is to drop dice on a play field and make matches that add up to eight. Soft Eights clear themselves, Hard Eights clear everything around them.

Hard8 is not going to be remembered as a ‘killer app’ on the iPhone; it’s an indie puzzle game on a format that has far too many puzzle games. Which is unfortunate, because for those five minute down times, Hard8 is much more fun than it has any right to be.
