Since I’ve been doing some freelance writing, I don’t always get to review Apps that I would necessarily choose for myself, and sometimes would never.

Recently I was lamenting over one such App on my twitter feed, to which I received this snappy reply from a developer by the name of bitCycle.

Challenge Extended.
(Even though it’s an obvious ploy to play on my geek guilt, and promote their own App agenda)

Challenge Accepted!
(But only because you said ‘pleeease’)

So here I am, doing a Crossnerd App Review.
First thing is first. I think that the people at bitCycle might be really quite insane. Or Awesome. Or Both.
Check out their trailer for Crossnerd;

Heh.
But seriously folks, how’s the game? It’s great. Basically, like the catchy tune says, you Swap tiles to form words, only your tiles need to be the same type of tile as the tile you’re swapping with. And if you get it wrong the entire level will start over. So it’s easy but tricky, get it? Although as of right now there’s only a Free ‘Lite’ Version out so you’ll have to be happy with only 20 levels. Here are a couple Screenshots:

<<< Nice One bitCycle. Good Luck!

I’m not saying 20 Levels isn’t great for a free App, it is. I’ve seen ‘Lite’ versions that have only 5 Levels of something and they were still worth it. The problem here is that this game concept is really great, it’s tricky but not impossible and the graphics are snappy and the content is funny, witty and cute. The real problem is that this game needs to be released as a full version, but until the developers get enough interest in the Lite version they’re not going to release a full version. Tricksy Developers.

Which is another reason I accepted the ‘Challenge’. I know I don’t have a massive readership, but every little bit counts. I said in my Mission Statement that I was going to try and help out the Little Guys.

So here I am, doing my best, for a game that I think really deserves it. So, go ahead and Download The Free App (<- USA iTunes Link. Canadian iTunes Link), and join their Facebook Page and become a fan. Hopefully they’ll see the light and release the full version so that I can play it everyone can enjoy it! :)
