I’ve been doing independent iPhone game development for about 6 months now and decided it was time I joined forces with NimbleBit to make some properly awesome games. NimbleBit will have a presence on the iTunes App Store as soon as the paperwork goes through! Watch the trailer below and go to the games page to check out the games joining the NimbleBit family.

I’m excited to bring the enthusiastic Zero Gear community together with some passionate iPhone gaming fans. To celebrate, we’re going to be giving away almost 200 promo codes starting Monday, March 16, redeemable for free copies of our iPhone games! These codes will be posted throughout each day on our twitter, forums, and chat. Register for an account and get ready for some free iPhone games!

Kyper is the fastest game on the iPod Touch!

Maneuver your ship through an asteroid field, testing your reflexes as your ship builds up more and more speed. The “boost” asteroids have a gravitational field which propel your ship forward, while the “brake” asteroids’ gravitational field slows you. Use the radar display to keep an eye on what’s coming up, and get ready for some intense flying.

Compete locally and online for the top speeds in the universe.

With 30 starting words and thousands of possible words, this $1.99 game offers plenty of gameplay. Without time limits, it can be a rather relaxing experience that you can pick up and continue at any time throughout your day.

Currently, there are only a handful of devs who can deliver hit after hit. Thankfully and rightfully so, Ian Marsh is one of the few…Here’s the kicker… Scoops is NOT the only game Ian is currently famous for. His first iPhone game was Hanoi which is free (later the paid, Hanoi Plus version). The game reached No. 1 in Top Free Apps… just another reason why Ian IS getting this recognition.

The best puzzle games will keep you thinking about them long after you’ve stopped playing. I found out too late that Textropolis is one of these games. I made the mistake of playing it at around 2 AM the other night, intending just to give it a quick try, and ended up spending a good hour on it. Afterward, all I could think about while lying awake in bed was how many words I missed in the last puzzle I played. Damn you, Textropolis. - FingerGaming (4.5/5 stars)

In the end I found Textropolis to be a very clean, polished, and educational game with a challenging and addicting objective. It’s a pleasure to find games that challenge the mind, and get you into the game. This is one of those titles that should be on everyone phone. - appVersity

Textropolis is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable word games I have played on the iPhone… word game lovers won’t want to miss out on this globe trotting fun. - TouchMyApps.com

Compared to Wurdle, Textropolis is a much more zen-like game. It has no time limit, nothing exploding, and there’s no real pressure to muscle through it. Instead, you’re pleasantly trying to form as many words as possible from the letters that comprise various city names. - Untold Entertainment

This game is well designed… The coolest feature of the game has to be the scrolling definitions that fly across the screen when you correctly spell a word. - Appletell

Learn new words and have fun, that’s Textropolis in a nutshell. - OSX Reality
