Land Mines – Coming Soon


Land Mines takes a spin on the classic Mine Sweeper game. This logic game puts both your intelligence and decision making to the test. As the minesweeper you must safely navigate the mine fields with nothing but your detector. You must efficiently flag all the land mines so that both you and your army can safely proceed forward.

The further you go the more land mines there will be to find and they will not be the only danger. It is your job to help the troops make it through the dangerous minefields. If you or to many of your troops fall victim to the land mines, it is game over. So, this spring, get ready to see if your capable of sweeping the land mines.

Land Mines will be coming out this Spring for the iPhone and iPod Touch. If you are interested in becoming a beta tester sign up at this LINK.

Beta Testing

We often reach out to the public to do beta testing on the different applications we produce. With beta testing, a more polished and reliable finished product is created. In the past, we would simply request those interested in beta testing to send us a email with the necessary information. This is an inefficient method that made things complicated.

To improve upon the beta testing process, there is now a page on the website with a submission form. This submission form allows anyone who is interested in beta testing for us, to submit some basic information. This allows us to have a pool of potential beta testers for when we need to test an application. Simply fill out the information and we will contact those interested about testing a given product, when needed.

And when the time comes for the beta testers to complete a survey, it will be done completely online, seamlessly.

New Website & Blog

As a result of the future closure of the MobileMe service by Apple, we have migrated over to a new webhost. In this process we have designed an entirely new website and blog which are both being hosted directly on this new webhost. The website should be noticeably faster and more efficient to use, hopefully the redesign also make it easier to navigate. As for the blog, all former posts should still be available, no content was lost. The new webhost allows us further flexibility and features that were not present with MobileMe, this should ensure new and useful online features in the coming future.
As time goes by there will be continual, though minor, changes to the design of both the website and the blog.
