Ammoin HD is a simple and highly addictive puzzle solving game that has been custom crafted for the iPad.
The gameplay is familiar from the iPhone/iPod touch version, which is available in the App Store. But, the large screen of the iPad takes the well-thought-out graphics and usability to a new level. You can see the iPhone/iPod Touch version at the Ammoin website (www.ammoin.com). The iPad version has new graphics and and a customized GUI specifically developed for the iPad as seen in the screenshots below.
Our contacts at Delta Vee Ky tell us that they experimented with different grid sizes for the iPad version (e.g., 6×6,7×7…), but the gameplay just wasn’t the same. Ultimately, they decided to stick with original format (a 5×5 grid) and optimize the interface and user experience.
The simple but addictive puzzle game is fun for all ages, which means you’ll be competing with your friends young and old for the best ranking. See below for screenshots of this iPad release from Delta Vee Ky.
