The folks at appbite.com were kind enough to put Off Center Software into their new Developer Spotlight! I enjoyed answering their questions and I’m honored to be their first spotlight.
No updates for Toobz yet… still waiting for our latest version to be approved and I’m still hard at work on the next version. As soon as I have more news I’ll post them here first!

I couldn’t resist and picked up an iPhone 3gs from AT&T on Friday. I was pretty surprised when I went there at 10:30am or so and they still had some! A far cry from last year when it took me two weeks to finally track one down.
I got a black 32gb this time around, primarily so I can tell it apart from my white 3g. The black back sure does show off fingerprints well!
Overall, though, this iPhone is FAST. I bought Peggle when it was $0.99 and comparing its startup from my iPhone 3g to the 3gs is amazing. The 3gs starts in about five seconds compared to 15 or so on the 3g. Everything else is nice and fast, too. Add on the new camera + video and the compass, not to mention double the memory… I love it. Now I just need to order my Zagg shield and I’m good to go.
In Toobz news… version 1.3 was submitted on Sunday evening, so I’m hoping it will be approved in the next week or so. I’ve heard that approvals are lagging behind a bit these days… in the past I’ve had a consistent 7 day review wait which was great. I’m a little worried about this time around, but we’ll see.
Two major changes for version 1.3 — I added back in the “classic” graphics (the original ones from my November release) because I had a few comments about folks liking them better.
The other big change is that I added the ability to tweet out your Toobz scores so all your friends can see your score. I’ve been noticing that Toobz comes up every now and then in Twitter which I think is just awesome. I get a kick out of someone tweeting about how they just “lost” the past 30 minutes by playing Toobz. Happy to help! 
I’ve already started working on version 1.4 which adds a new game type. I’m really excited about this one… I think everyone will like it because… you can finally rotate the Toobz! But, in my humble opinion, rotating makes the game easier so you know I have to balance that out somehow… stay tuned!
Thanks again for everyone’s support of Toobz… keep the comments and feedback coming. I read and try to respond to everything.

A couple more reviews… one from twitter and one from a comment (thanks!):
This review Dave’s squarespace site.
And this review on Appmodo.
Thank you to both sites for taking the time to review Toobz. It’s incredibly gratifying seeing people talk about Toobz.

Happened across another review of Toobz today, this time on appbite. Pretty positive review, I appreciate the suggestions… I’m always on the lookout for gameplay tweaks and ideas.
Thanks to appbite for the review!

I should group these together, I suppose. Further down on the Twitter search was this review. Not as positive as the previous one, but I appreciate it nonetheless. Thanks, Travis, for taking the time to review Toobz — I hope with some upcoming releases we’ll win you back and get you interested in the paid version That’s why we have the -Free version, though — try before you buy!
Thanks again!

Did a search on Twitter today for any Toobz related tweets. Found a good number of tweets which is really cool to see. Also saw a new iPhone review site that recently started and Toobz was one of its initial reviews! My thanks to Bryan for taking the time to review Toobz!

I found this thread started on TouchArcade… I thought it was awesome that someone made a video of Toobz! I love the design he did… pretty neat idea.
Thought I’d also pass along some YouTube reviews of Toobz that I found. Thanks everyone for supporting Toobz… I’m having a blast hearing about folks playing!
Enjoy!
