Jbox Version 1.3 is released now

Hello everyone...

Nearly 1 year after the first release of Jbox, today I am releasing Jbox version 1.3. This version is completely new, with lots of new things, a complete re-design of the game. It took almost 8 months for me to develop this version and I am sure you will love it.

Apart from all other changes and the new levels, this version first brings the community levels. Yes, now you can also design a level on your own within Jbox. You can then publish it and share with your friends. Do join me to create more exciting levels and share with others.

I also added some new levels - more than 20 new levels. The pack concept is also introduced in this version. Earlier, you were required to complete one level before you can go to the next level. Everything was very sequential. But now with the game levels designed under different packs, you can choose any particular level and play it directly. However, you need to first collect sufficient points to unlock that pack.

Lots of new things for you to enjoy here, so happy Jboxing... and please Keep in touch.

Jbox Version 1.2 is released now

Hello everyone...

Jbox 1.2 version is now released in Playstore. This is a stable version and as of now this is the final version for Jbox. I thank everyone who played the game till date.

I received a lot of feedback that Jbox is very "tough" to play. Well... it was intended to be difficult. It is not like another game where you just sit & relax. Jbox is very much an exception. It is not a "game", it is not really easy !

But, if you just want to spend some time with fun & thrill, here is the news. I have developed another game by the name Malkovri - which will be published in Playstore very soon. Malkovri will fulfill the desire where someone is looking for a game just for fun - without much brain work.

Till then, happy Jboxing... and please Keep in touch.

Friends, in last few days, a lot of additions and changes are implemented to our beloved game Jbox and today the 1.1 version is now released in Playstore.

The undo levels are increased. There are some improvements in graphics and an addition of the feathers concept. Overall 1.1 version is now much more attractive and stable than 1.0 version.

I ill now roll out this to a bigger mass. Till date it was confined within few of my friends. From now onward we will release it to others, including various countries in the world.

Hope to see the feedback from you all ! Keep in touch.

Jbox Beta Version 0.8b is released now

Friends, we have had several bug fixes and new levels added since the version 0.6b was released. I am happy to see the responses. But unless we officially release it to Playstore, the real feedback is missing.

Now the next stable version is released. This version is 0.8b.

Some major changes in this version include:

1. New levels are added. Some are really interesting !
2. Now the user can select a theme for the board, it is no longer the old static blue color :)
3. Better handling of memory & display in low end mobile as well as latest big screen mobiles.
4. Added the option of Donations.

Some UI changes are pending, I will next work on the UI part.

The date to publish it in Google Playstore is now fixed on 23rd of this month. Eagerly waiting for it.

Jbox Beta Version 0.6b is released now

Friends, 0.5b was released last week. Looks like people liked it. There are few suggestions and few bug fixes as well. Some levels are improved. Some memory management issues are fixed. New levels have been also added in the mean time through multiple small releases.

Now the next stable version is released. This version is 0.6b.

Some major changes in this version include:

1. New levels are added.
2. Better memory management for drawables and bitmaps.
3. Now the Undo operation can be done for last 5 steps (earlier it was limited to 3 steps).
4. Confirmation message is added before Game Restart.
5. Fixed the bug : when the phone is left idle for long time and android automatically kills some processes, the game was crashing. This bug has been fixed now. No more crash.

I am planning to add some more interesting levels soon !

It is not yet published in Google Playstore. If everything goes well, I will be able to publish it in Google Playstore by the end of the next week. Let's see...
