Secrets can be read by category, rating, date shared, number of comments, number of times shared and by user favorites. Is there something that you want to get off your chest? You never know what secrets you’ll read. It might be a surprise that other people share similar secrets to you.

Following their first App, Geek Reply’s early success, Modern Geek, a start-up iPhone developer, has just released their second mobile application called Our Secrets. Joel Eggenhuizen who started Modern Geek after getting tired of waiting for his App ideas to be picked by large developers who take most of the profit, decided to start his own business. After finishing Geek Reply, Joel began work on Our Secrets and found the process a lot easier due to the experience with his first App.

Joel says, “In researching Our Secrets, I found a couple of Secret Apps in the App Store and wasn’t impressed with them feature or graphics wise. I work hard on all my apps to include every feature I think users would want in a clean interface. I truly enjoyed the whole experience and plan on continuing the work as it’s quite addictive.”

Users can:
* Comment on secrets
* Rate secrets
* Tweet a link to a juicy Secret for Twitter friends

Device Requirements:
* iPhone or 2nd Generation iPod Touch 3.0 or later
* Requires account setup but this is only so you can track and delete your own secrets

Scottish iPhone publisher and developer Tag Games is today pleased to announce that its first title in an exciting roadmap of third party games will be the awesome rhythm, action and battle game B-Boy Brawl.

A partnership with Mobile Pie, the hugely talented development studio based in the UK’s hip hop heartland of Bristol, will see this widely anticipated game unleashed on the App Store early in the New Year.

Paul Farley, Managing Director of Tag Games, said, “since we demonstrated how effective our marketing efforts could be with the launch of Car Jack Streets earlier in the year, the telephone hasn’t stopped ringing with iPhone developers interested in Tag publishing their content. Given our understanding and success in delivering games to the App Store it was therefore inevitable that we would eventually take the plunge into publishing external content. ”

He continues “We decided early on that we’d only want to publish games that reflect the style and attitude of our own content and when the team at Mobile Pie approached us with B-Boy Brawl we knew we had a great fit. I’m very excited by the prospect of the Tag and Mobile Pie teams working closely together to bring iPhone gamers a rhythm action game with originality, wit, style and of course some sweet hip hop tracks.”

“We’re extremely excited to be partnering with Tag Games on B-Boy Brawl as they bring so much passion and a wealth of expertise to the party,” said Will Luton, Creative Producer at Mobile Pie. “We’ve put months of love into the game and with the tracks we have lined up it’s destined to shake up the iPhone gaming world!”

Due to be released late January 2010 B-Boy Brawl promises to make a mockery of other weak wristed iPhone music games. Aiming to own the streets (and of course the App Store) the game features a unique control method that allows players to ‘finger break’ for the first time, awesome street style visuals, various crews to ‘battle’ and loads of great hip hop

The award winning studio Mobile Pie (developers of Tap ‘n’ Slide and B-Boy Brawl ) today released their latest game to Apple’s App Store for iPhone and iPod touch.

On top of that Plus+ allows players to unlock in-game awards for their efforts as well as compete on a global scale… I can’t wait to be tackling some of those leaderboards!”

Independent developer Paul Masson has announced Black Holt Tilt Table 1.0, a space-age update of children’s retro ball-bearing games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Holding the device level, the player must twist and tilt to manipulate one ball into each hole. As all balls are maneuvered into black holes, the screen explodes in color and advances to the next level, providing hours of mesmerizing fun for everyone.

The balls respond to standard iPhone movement and obey realistic collision physics, often emulating molecular gases. The black holes obey their own rules, repulsing balls that have lingered too long, preventing the game from becoming too easy. The difficulty can be further enchanced to reduce both the size of black holes and length of time to repulsion.

Features:
* Colorful graphics and crazy sounds
* Test your skills of balance and deft manipulation
* Play as many levels as your skill allows
* Increase the difficulty for even more of a challenge

Device Requirements:
* iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 or later
