[...] producing games for S60 and UIQ, and how impressed I was with their first 2 releases: Boardgames (read review) and HE: Titanic (read review). The problem is that I can’t say the same about their 3 [...]

That’s true Sandy, I forgot to mention the clock and the battery status on the top of the screen. No other game developer seems to care about these, and they are true nice implementations. Thumbs up again Astraware.
I already said that Snakes and Ladders doesn’t require any interaction from my side, which seriously annoyed me, whereas Ludo still has a level of strategy and with some twisting in the game options, you can introduce a couple of perks in the gameplay which I liked. It does rely on luck, but requires much more interaction from your side than Snakes & Ladders.
I believe the next game from Astraware is Hidden Expedition Titanic, it’s a very well known game in the WM/Palm scene, and I’m excited about it.

Boardgames is really a cool and fresh air into S60 gaming. Astraware seem to be very good at developing ‘Smartphone’ games, and really, the battery status and time at the top of the boards are cool. Boardgames is a tremendously good ‘Entertainment application’, however, the games were not perfectly according to my taste. I don’t like games involving luck (however enjoyable they may be), and Ludo, Snakes & Ladders disappointed me. Anyway, I hope the future games from Astraware will be better and hardcore.
