This game is great! You\'ve GOT to make it for PDAs!

It\'s sweet (for me) that the Linux version is cheaper than the others. It is probably that way for one (or maybe both) of these two reasons:
1) The developers are mindful of the Linux community in which they participate and want to give something back.
2) They figure that Linux users are cheap *******s!

Anyway, I\'m gonna buy it in a couple days (because my demo period finally ran out)... It would be cool if I could also play it on my Visor instead of having to buy a Zaurus to take it with me.

http://www.pyrogon.com/games/candycruncher/Is this somehow a coincidence that it has the same name as the game on the Gamehouse site (which I haven\'t played) if so, it looks like a variant on a theme much used already - or not?? ;)

Well, I don\'t know since I haven\'t been to game house and it\'s refusing to load in my browser.

I did learn, however, that Pyrogon is already working on porting to PDAs, but they don\'t mention which OSs and other important details. :(

Hi everybody, Candy Cruncher from Gamehouse is the same game developed by Pyrogon, it seems that Gamehouse only sells the Windows version for them and has developed a web version.

what do you do in this candy cruncher game, are you just a machine that crushes candy or something or what, anyways, pelase respond so i can find out more about this game to see if i like it before i play it, thx.

I find that it is similar to Bejeweled except the game pieces are candy instead of jewels and you match up entire columns/rows instead of 3-5 pieces. Different candy is worth different scores.

oh, ok, thx. it wounds pretty fun. it is probably a little harder than bejewled, though, at least it would seem to be that way since you have to get whole rows. anywasy, thx again.

this is a very stupid question, and i have asked it before (sorry for the inconvienence), but where in the world is the beta testing area? is it just the main product page where you download the demos or buy the games? anyways, please, howard, or anyone, tell me where the beta testing area is.
