Astraware Converts Five Palm OS Games to Pocket PC

In Abysma, players are opposed by both time and a descending "bar of doom." A bar descends downward across a screen of multi-sized blocks. Energy is lost when the bar of doom comes across a blank space, causing players to race to fill in the gaps with adjoining blocks before the bar hits the empty spots and saps all of their energy.

Astraware said Elixir pits the player against the clock in a race to, literally, pop as many pills as possible. As iridescent capsules descend down the screen, the player must explode as many pills as possible, but only those that are not supporting the capsules above them.

Bounce Out is similar to Astraware’s Bejeweled and Diamond Mine titles, except that players are rushed to swap colorful balls rather than gemstones in order to line up three or more in a row and players may swap vertically as well as horizontally and diagonally. As sets of three or more are formed, the balls "bounce out" and the balls above drop and wiggle into place, completely reconfiguring the game-board.

Astraware’s new games sell for $14.95 each.
