2nd December 2011: Saying goodbye to some older products and platforms.
The world of mobile applications and devices is a fast moving place. Devices and operating systems are updated often, and their popularity changes over time. Eventually the time comes when some of them need to ride off into the sunset. With this in mind, we have taken the decision to discontinue sales of games for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and Symbian S60 from our website.
Palm OS, and Windows Mobile have both been retired by their respective creators and so a couple of years down the line, we feel the time is right for us to do the same. You can however still get our webOS games for the Palm Pre.
For BlackBerry and Symbian S60, while we kept up for some time with new devices and OS versions, we found that there wasn't enough demand for our titles on these platforms to keep up the pace of development for each new device and OS version. As our games began to support only a minority of devices available, we took the decision again that it's better to retire the products and focus on making the best games we can for platforms which are popular now, and we believe have the brightest future.
We will provide support for purchases for these platforms for a limited period of time, but if you have bought these games and may need to reset your device or re-download the games, we'd recommend doing that now and keeping the files (and codes where relevant) backed up in a safe place. If you have any questions, please direct these to our Support Team: here.
22nd June 2011: Got a NOOK Color? Get your favorite Astraware games for it!
If you're the proud owner of a NOOK Color and have installed the most recent NOOK software update (first released 25th April), you may have noticed that you now have an App store on your ebook reader. We're very excited to say that we have joined Barnes & Noble's app developer program and optimized a selection of our games for the NOOK Color.
Our award-winning Sudoku - Astraware Sudoku, our best-selling casino games pack - Astraware Casino, our 12 games in 1 solitaire pack - Astraware Solitaire, and our highly acclaimed Mahjong solitaire game - Astraware Mahjong were all released last month and have gained excellent reviews from customers.
This month, we've added two more great games to the NOOK Apps catalog. We had lots of requests for our classic games pack Astraware Board Games, so that's available right now, and if you enjoy a great strategy game with some pirate battles, and trading in exotic goods, then why not set sail for a Caribbean adventure and play Tradewinds 2! All these games are available in the NOOK Apps store today!

28th April 2011: Captain CupCake and the Donut Disaster FREE platform game for iPhone/iPod touch
We're excited to publish a new platform game for iPhone and iPod touch! Entitled Captain CupCake and the Donut Disaster, the game was developed by a student who did a year's work placement with us at Astraware. He developed the game in his spare time after returning to university for his third year.
The Veggie Villains have struck again! All bakeries across the Isla Cocoa are reporting their Donut supplies missing. There's only one man for the job - call Captain CupCake! Captain CupCake and the Donut Disaster is a FREE platform game with dozens of levels across 2 zones. Players who manage to master the free levels can also purchase additional level packs in-game. Captain CupCake and the Donut Disaster includes Game Center achievements and a leaderboard for high scores.
