We just finished Puzzle Star HD, our latest game at Geardome, and it’s now ready for download from the App Store!
We took the iPhone edition and improved it with high resolution graphics and some new music and sounds.
Now it’s also fully integrated with Game Center, and well… it’s really fun and challenging to play 
For only $0.99 / €0.79 / £0.69 it’s a real bargain 
So give it a try!

After one year of hard coding and long periods without sleep I finished Ozone with my mates at Geardome! 
Some curiosities about the game:
- 1 year of development (not full time). Although we based the game in a previous game of us (Hydrium) we started completely from scratch, both art, audio and code.
- Full 3D game engine coded in C++ and fully optimized for portable devices (iPhone, iPad, PSP, Nintendo DS…), easily portable, with cool features, effects, particles, culling, but lacks some things like materials and animation (maybe for the next game).
- 60 FPS on iPad, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 2nd gen and above. 30 FPS on old models.
- Fully integrated with Bullet Physics Engine for physics simulation. Bullet runs quite fast indeed! We are definitely using it in future projects.
- 3D sound based in OpenAL.
- Modular design, based in episodes. Ozone currently ships with 5 episodes but it will be easy for us to add more episodes.
- Online MySQL database for storing world wide scores.
- iPad edition is on the way.
After one year of work, a little bit more than originally planned , we are finishing Ozone!
And here are the first screens!!

Hey!
We just released for free the Original Sound Track of our upcoming iPhone game Ozone!
These great ambient musics are for the genius musician David García.
With the help of César Sampedro I have started a development diary for our latest game for iPhone and iPod Touch: Ozone.
César is the lead artist in Geardome and has previously worked in games such as Motorstorm and Clive Barker’s Jericho.
