Secret Exit Games Sale, Big ‘Stair Dismount’ Update

Secret Exit Games Sale, Big ‘Stair Dismount’ Update is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Stair DismountSecret Exit recently lowered the price of both Zen Bound and Stair Dismount to celebrate being featured by Apple. Zen Bound has been in the app store since February, and is widely considered a showpiece app on the iPhone. It received our highest recommendation upon release, and is currently $1.99.

Stair Dismount was released in late November, and our only criticisms of the game were the lack of global leaderboards, the amount of levels, and no retention of created faces. An update was announced along with a $0.99 sale, and it looks to address all of these issues and more. Version 1.2.0 has already been submitted, and here is the official list of features:

  • Three new levels (with more crunch!)
  • Online leaderboards (OpenFeint)
  • In-game help
  • Many more Facebook taglines
  • iPod music library can now be accessed from the game
  • Minor control tweaks (better pinch)
  • Panoramic camera that shows off the levels in their full majesty! (main menu and level start)
  • Previously selected face is automatically in use every time the application is started
  • Quick Start button in the main menu, jumps straight to the previously selected level with the selected face
  • Visual polish all around

    • Zen Bound™

    Secret Exit Ports Ragdoll Pain Sim Stair Dismount to iPhone

    Secret Exit Ports Ragdoll Pain Sim Stair Dismount to iPhone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

    stairdismountThe ragdoll injury game Stair Dismount earned widespread Internet popularity upon its release in 2002, and inspired a generation of clones and similar titles. Zen Bound developer Secret Exit brings Stair Dismount ($2.99) to the iPhone with upgraded graphics and multiple levels of play.

    The object of Stair Dismount is to push “your friend” down a flight of stairs, with the intent to cause him as much pain as possible. Normally, this would be seen as kind of a jerkish thing to do, but this particular friend makes all sorts of fun noises during his painful descent. Can anyone really blame you?

    The iPhone version of Stair Dismount allows users to select new ragdoll faces from photos in their iPhone’s library, and includes a feature that allows players to share their favorite moments with friends on Facebook.
