I was excited to see a new game, Dames – a Checkers application, in Cydia this morning. We haven’t had a ton of new games lately so, I was eager to check it out. However, I cannot seem to get the app to work. When it opens, I get a splashscreen (a very nice looking splashscreen) and then everything goes black. The application stays open, I just get a black screen. I even let it sit for a long time and it didn’t do anything…just stayed on the black screen. I took a look at the app via SSH and it doesn’t look like it is in English…so, I don’t know if that has to do with it or not.

I was totally bummed because I like checkers and I was interested to see if you could play against the “computer” or another person. Judging by the splashscreen it looks like it would be a nicely designed application too. Let me know in the comments if it is working for you. Below are the few screenshots I have of the app.

Note: This application has been removed from Cydia for the time being…as soon as it is back up, I will do an update review of it.
