Another Free Demo: ‘Crosswords Light’

Another day, another demo.

Stand Alone has released a demo version of their Crosswords [$9.99, App Store] application called Crosswords Light [Free, App Store].

The free version of Crosswords lets you try out 30 built-in crossword puzzles to test drive the interface before committing your $9.99. The full version allows you to download a near limitless supply of free crossword puzzles and also supports the New York Times subscription service.

We recently reviewed both Crosswords as well as 2 Across [$5.99, App Store] and found them both to be quite capable. We particularly liked the landscape view of the Crosswords application. Read the full review for more details and gameplay videos.

    wow! another brick-breaker type game! how original!!! maybe they'll release another sudoku game......or another solitaire game......or another poker game....or another tetris game.....or bejeweled game. lord knows....there aren't enough of these games already on the app store.

    sigh......GET WITH THE PROGRAM DEVELOPERS! make some original damn games!! stop trying to make a quick buck by copying other games and releasing them under different names as if what you just did was soooooo creative.

    it does make you wonder what the state of the app store is going to be like in 6 months time, its full of multiple versions of the same crap now!!

    Isn't this Snood?

    Another multi-colored puzzle game. All this potential, and developers are convinced that adding a slight "twist" to the same puzzler will generate revenue.

    There's gotta be some better ideas out there.

    Oh god when will these Match 3 clones stop! But that's the beauty and ugliness of the Appstore. It's democratic, but as you know not everyone has the same good intentions. Some people will do anything for a quick buck.

    The Match 3 clones will stop when people stop buying them.

    I'm not sure why people think the IPhone market place will be much different to the PC market place. Expect more of the same.

    To be far, there are some games that are right at home on the iPhone. Galcon, for example.

    All these Match3 games drive me crazy - even on the Mac/PC. I guess anyone who can program with arrays is able to write one of these things.
