Cryptogram v1.1

The first update to Cryptogram is now on the marketplace. New features include:
-Now over 400 puzzles
-Share solved quotes on Facebook
-Minor bug fixes and tweaks

When I updated to the new version it seems a global file that keeps track of puzzles statuses (e.g Solved, In Progress) somehow got corrupted. Because of this, clicking the Play button from the main menu will only take you directly to the first puzzle even if it's already solved, and all puzzles appear as new from the main menu list.

If you see this bug, rest assured that your saved games are still in tact and puzzles that you've solved and worked on have not been lost.

A fix for this has already been made and will be uploaded to the marketplace as soon as it's approved by Microsoft.

Unfortunately, to get around this for now, you'll have to manually pick an unsolved puzzle from the list to play a new one. When the new patch goes live, I'll update here.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused any players of Cryptogram, and I thank you for your support.

The paid and free versions of Cryptogram for Windows Phone 7 have been released. Look, a press release!

Cryptogram, the Classic Puzzle Game Comes To Windows Phone 7

Based on the classic puzzle game available in thousands of newspapers and books across the globe, you can now bring hundreds of cryptogram puzzles with you at your fingertips on your Windows Phone!

A cryptogram is a simple alphabet substitution applied to a phrase where each letter in the phrase will stand for another. You uncover the solution by swapping an encrypted letter for the correct letter. If you think 'Z' in the puzzle stands for 'A', then it will equal 'A' every time the letter 'Z' appears in the phrase. The puzzle is solved when all letters in the phrase have been deciphered.
  • 300 puzzles with more on the way!
  • Clean and simple user interface with modifiable themes.
  • Solutions are famous quotes from some of history's greatest minds.
A free version supported by ads will be released in addition to a paid version available without ads for $1.99. It is available in all supported countries but solutions are in English.

Crytogram is now available on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace.

Cryptogram for Windows Phone 7

You might be wondering what's up with Vintage Hero and rest assured, it's still in the development pipeline. After picking up the HTC Trophy, I started messing with Silverlight on Windows Phone 7. The result is a new game I'll be releasing very soon called Cryptogram.

Based on the classic puzzle game that uses a substitution cipher to obfuscate a quote or phrase, uncover the solution by swapping an encrypted letter for the correct letter. When all the letters have been solved, the phrase becomes clear.

Here's a few screenshots of the game in action. Click to enlarge.
Expect Cryptogram to be released on the Windows Phone Marketplace soon!

While making the Silverlight app served as a good diversion to recharge my batteries, work on Vintage Hero will resume full time. Being a more complex game with a lot of content, it takes time to design and make all the parts I need to put in the game. But I am eager to get back to it as it is a project close to my heart and I want nothing more than to see people playing it. Once work commences, I'll gather what I need to put together the promised video of progress on the game. In the meantime, if you have a Windows Phone, look for the new app soon. I'll let you know when it's out.
