Kusari 1.1

Douglas — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:23:02 +0000

Kusari is pretty simple but addicting. You basically want to get the most counters cleared as you can. You start by choosing one of the 9 center counters. You want to choose arrows that will make the longest path to clear the most counters. Available through iPod Touched source. Here’s a video and screenshots:

From iPod Touch Fans to BigBoss

Brooke — Sat, 24 May 2008 05:01:02 +0000

Skylar has recently taken his iPod Touch Fans source out of Community Sources due to the fact that has does not have the time necessary to keep up with it. In doing this, BigBoss is now hosting the applications from the iPod Touch Fans source. Below is the list of applications that have been moved to the BigBoss source.

iZoo – Fun game in the style of Zoo Keeper/Bejeweled.

NOIZ2SA. – Exciting sidescroller shooter game. Port of NOIZ2SA

PocketTouch – In-Pocket music controller.

rRootage – Vertical Shooter. Port of rRootage

StatusStyle – Tool to change SpringBoard’s Default StatusBar.

TuxPuck – An air hockey game/Shufflepuck Cafe clone for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

rRootage 1.0

Brooke — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:03:52 +0000

This game is similar NOIZ2SA (Yep, another shootemup!). The main menu allows you to choose from four different games modes and 10 levels with-in each game mode. Once you select which game mode and level you would like, just two finger tap to enter the game. You can move your little guy at the bottom by dragging it around. The objective of the game is to shoot the “thing” at the top without getting killed. You can two finger tap to set off bombs (they look more like shields to me!). The game play is smooth and the graphics are sweet! Definitely an app worth checking out (if you are into shootemup games! ). rRootage is available through the iPod Touch Fans source.

Sweetnes = Shoutout to AppleiPhoneSchool.com in the splash screen! Lazrhog…I still think it is a boy thing! Also, thanks for the screenshots…it is seriously impossible to get a screenshot of this app, I tried three different ways!

PocketTouch 1.2

Brooke — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 04:28:17 +0000

Version 1.2 of PocketTouch makes a few subtle but sleek changes. When playing a song…the Title of the song is now bolder…making it much easier to read and the Now Playing is smaller. Also, the Settings Menu is now black instead of grey and had a few font changes…a much cleaner look, I like it. Other than that…the app still works the same! PocketTouch is avialble through the iPod Touch Fans source.

PocketTouch 1.1

Brooke — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:11:32 +0000

There are quite a few new options with version 1.1 of PocketTouch. I love the new main play screen. You will notice a little play arrow in the upper left corner…this displays whether the song is playing or is paused. It now also displays the time of the song, the volume in percentage and an info button which brings you to the Settings. There are a few new options in the Settings. You are now able to turn off the volume HUD (that is the image that you get then you turn the volume up and down), swap your swipe settings so that the volume change is horizontally and the song change is vertical, and enable a Shake option. When you turn Shaker on…you are then able to shake your iPhone to go to the next song. You can adjust the amount of movement that is required to change the song by increasing/decreasing the Depth. The Time setting controls the shake time…”the higher the number, the more difficult the shake feature will be.” Overall…a very good update! PocketTouch is available through the iPod Touch Fans source. Screenshots below!

Drummer 1.0

Sahil — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 02:49:31 +0000

Drummer is a drum emulator by MooTheCow. When the application is open there are fifteen boxes that have labels like “Crash” or “Snare 1”. Tapping on each box gives you a specific drum noise. You are able to tap five boxes at the same time. There are five different drum sets: Dance, Jazz 1, Jazz 2, Rock, and Electro. All the sounds are high quality, and they are very close to the real thing. The help section tells you how to use the application in case you do not know how to, and there is a donation reminder. The thing that I love most about this application is the fan support. It is very easy to make sound packs for Drummer, all you have to do is make fifteen small samples of sounds and place them in the Media folder. You can get Drummer from the iPod Touch Fans source, also the developer’s site is moocowmusic.com. Below is a link for more drum sets and how to place them in your Touch/iPhone. Also, check out the screen shots below.

PocketTouch 1.0b

Sahil — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 23:25:48 +0000

PocketTouch is a music controller made by the one and only Skylar. PocketTouch allows you to control your music with simple swipes, the best part is that you can leave it in your pocket while doing it. The biggest complaint with the iPod Touch/iPhone is that there is no external button in order to control your music. PocketTouch solves these problems in a different way. When you start the application, there is a bunch of settings. In order to start the magic, tap the “back” button. A nice swirl affect will take you to a black screen with “Pause” and “Now Playing” at the top. Tap the screen, and your music will start playing. Swipe your finger to the right, and you will skip to the next song, swiping left will take you to your previous song, swiping up will raise the volume, and swiping down will decrease the volume. When changing the volume, a volume meter will appear, this will be familiar for anyone who owns a Mac. In order to reverse all these settings go to the “setting” menu. Hold your finger on the screen for a second or two and it will take you to the settings. The reason Skylar made the screen all black is not because he is lazy, it is because he is brilliant. If there were colors on the screen, it can burn an imprint into the iPod screen if the application is kept on for too long. Having PocketTocuh totally black will prevent that from happening. I love this application, I can now listen to my music without taking my iPod out of my pocket. You can get PocketTouch from the iPod Touch Fans source. Check out the screen shots below.

NOIZ2SA v1.0

Jacob — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:11:49 +0000

This is a highly addictive 2D shooter game, by iPodTouchFans source. I played for about an hour before I made myself sit down and write this up. The application opens up to a name prompt, so when you are done you can actually submit your scores online to see how you rank. Then you get to the level select screen, it seemed a little shaky to me, but basically you tap th level you want. Now you are a flying red dot with a shield that rotates around you. You move the ‘fighter dot’ with your finger, up, down, left, and right. You get points by destroying the attacking ships (more like squares and other shapes). And get bonus points for gathering up the grayish colored smoke that comes from a destroyed ship. Stay away from the green dots they shot at you…if you get shot by them, the game is over! Check out the screen shots below for the developers description.

StatusStyle 2.4.1

Brooke — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:41:15 +0000

Version 2.4.1 of StatusStyle works MUCH better for me! Not only can I now change both my Carrier and Time text…I can also turn them off with no problem. I was able to change my Carrier to Test and my Time to Testing. Then, I went back into the app and turned both the Carrier and the Time text off and they both went back to my stock settings with no issue. So far, this version works exactly how it should…I am running 1.1.1. Let me know in the comments if this version works better for you. Also, if you are wondering whether or not you should install this app…you may want to click on the StatusStyle link above and check out some of the comments…a few people have had issues with it…though this version seems much more stable than the previous versions. StatusStyle is available through the iPod Touch Fans source. Screenshots are below.

Brooke — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:58:16 +0000

There is an update in the Installer.app to Community Sources version 3.7. The previous version of the Community Sources (version 3.6) included the Conceited Software, Ste Packaging, ModMyiFone.com and BigBoss’s Apps and Things (BigBoss for short) sources…the update adds the iPod Touch Fans source to the Community Sources. The url for the iPod Touch Fans source is – www.touchrepo.com/repo.xml. Below are the screenshots:
