Developers are having great success with mobile gaming in the App Store, but BlackBerry App World isn’t seeing the numbers just yet. Companies like Top Hat Monocle, are seeing excellent download rates in the App Store on their casual games such as Hopple, which has been downloaded more than 80,000 times.
So why doesn’t BlackBerry App World see similar success? Two factors stand out: hardware and marketing.

Pixelated is an interesting puzzle game that requires changing pixel colors until your screen is single solid color. To do this, you use a combination of colored buttons on the bottom of the screen to change the color of the squares in the upper left hand corner.
It’s a little difficult to explain but it’s a simple game to play. There are 2 versions of the game: Pixelated and Pixelated Plus. While Pixelated lacks some of the advanced features found in Pixelated Plus, such as stat tracking and additional playing modes, Pixelated is still a fully functioning game with no limits on it’s game play.
Pixelated is available free on App World.
Zeemote+console-quality games+Pico Projector+8900 = An incredible mobile gaming experience.
We first got a look at the Zeemote over a year ago when we were writing about them on QuicklyBored and then at BBDC 2008, they brought it to the BlackBerry world. The Zeemote is an interesting addition to the world of BlackBerry gaming, a market that is still young but has a great deal of potential.
Now officially out of beta testing and ready for the BlackBerry community, Zeemote has some great implications for not only gaming but for other random BlackBerry uses that we’ve been testing here around the office. One example of this is with vPost. You can set vPost with the Zeemote so that you have a remote trigger for your camera. This makes for some interesting live action pics.
In terms of gaming, Zeemote fills in the gap where the BlackBerry lacks. If you’re an avid BlackBerry gamer, you know that when the game starts getting difficult, the keyboard on the device makes it impossible. You need the dexterity and precision of a brain surgeon. The Zeemote takes this stress away and lets you enjoy your games.
The Zeemote will be available in ShopBlackBerry.com this summer.
