We were very pleasantly surprised to find out Trixel became a finalist entry in the Best App Ever Awards 2009, in not one, but TWO whole categories.

All the solutions for all the puzzles in the game.

We’re sorry it took so long. We’re submitting today and hope it’ll be with those of you yet to savour the flavors within the next week or two!

It’s Trixel’s added layer of complexity that keeps you playing, and elevates it far above the simple tile swapping game it initially appears to be. Its addictiveness is found in its simplicity, with a thread of depth woven through its gameplay that keeps you playing until your knuckles cramp.

Prison Diet are the guys who provided music for Trixel. Frankly, we love their work and we think you should check out the range of stuff they’ve got going on in their music labs, where they store the fabled ‘audio hand job’.

The last few days have been a big deal. We’ve not only made it to the Top 50, but Apple also featured us in ‘Hot’ on the Games Page and ‘New and Noteworthy’ on the front of the App Store!

In a shock move in desire of climbing that chart ladder, we have dropped the game price to ONE DOLLAR!

To celebrate updating the game with our pain-reducing ‘FREEPLAY’ feature that lets you solve the puzzle past Bronze, we knocked the game down to a straight ONE DOLLAR for just one week! If you’re a little thin in the pocket, now’s the time to grab our game!

Destructoid’s Colette Bennett says, “grab it if you like to use your brain”.

Trixel is in ‘What’s Hot’ on the iTunes App Store!
