June 16, 2009 - Triazzzle 3.0 Post-Beta Updates Continue.
The improvements to Triazzle have let loose the demons. All the new features are looking and functioning beautifully and the game is a major step beyond the beta app. But we are mired in memory leaks that we are still resolving. New in-game menus allows for easier access to pause game, new game, volume controls and hints. A new Matches feature tracks correct matches and hilights them when tapped. And most exciting, the Triazzle gods can be summoned to solve a puzzle for you if you give up - its all animated and fun to watch! Also improvements to characters, animation and some new background graphics. Now all we have to do is eliminate those pesky bugs and get Triazzle submitted to Apple! I will post our new launch date as soon as I know for sure - its looking to be mid July.
