For addictive gameplay and great graphics, this game gets 4 stars.” - iPhoneAppCodes "If you are a sci-fi enthusiast, this iphone application is for you" - GosuBlogger.com "When it comes to our iPhone games, we love ‘em fast and we love ‘em kooky. Scribattle keeps us happy on both fronts" [App of the day!] - AppSeekr.com "so cool! Fantastically fun idea! [...] a game that makes you want to keep playing" - omiphone.se *** A BRIEF NOTE ON GAME CONTROLS: *** Based on comments we've received, some people don't seem to understand how this game works right away. Here are the basics: To make your warriors shoot, touch one of them and quickly "stroke" your finger in the direction you want to shoot. Don't forget multi-touch! Using several fingers, you can shoot using two or three warriors all at the same time. Pause the game by tapping in the score area at the top of the screen. Some players have observed that your warriors die easily, and can't seem to protect themselves from enemy fire. In fact, you can activate a warrior's shield by pressing and holding a finger on him. The shield stops all bullets, but won't protect you from the dreaded Noodly Appendage. Note that there are now four different play modes, with and without shields, and with and without the Noodly Appendage. Find your own preferred level of challenge!

WHAT MAKES SLIIIDE UNIQUE Every move sends you gliding until something stops you. No half-moves, no take-backs. Simple to learn, deeply satisfying to master. Plan ahead, think spatially, and find the perfect path through each hand-crafted puzzle. 115 HAND-CRAFTED LEVELS Three worlds. Eighteen themed tiers. Every level designed to teach you something new — then test what you've learned. • Daybreak — slide from dawn through twilight and into midnight • Seasons — spring, summer, autumn, winter • Elements — stone, magma, flame, storm, torrent, crystal MECHANICS THAT KEEP YOU THINKING Each world introduces new twists that change how you approach every puzzle: • Portals — step in one, emerge across the grid • Crumbling tiles — use them once, then they're gone • Arrows — forced direction changes mid-slide • Switches & toggle walls — activate paths, block others 7 POWER-UPS When brute logic isn't enough, deploy a power-up.
