Introducing Nintaii - More Addictive than BrickBreaker!
Posted in BlackBerry Apps on 19 Oct 2008 11:00 by Kevin Michaluk | 52 comments


More addictive than BrickBreaker? That's a bold claim for me to make, but seriously, Nintaii is that awesome! As a judge for the Games category in the BlackBerry Developer Challenge, Nintaii was definitely one of my top picks. And seeing how it was nominated as one of the Dev Challenge finalists, the other judges must have had similar feelings toward the game. Here's the official verbage:

Nintaii is a brain twisting puzzle game of rolling blocks and switches. Be ready to roll your block over the course of this 100 level challenge. Just like most of the greatest puzzle games, Nintaii has a simple concept and yet proves to be very challenging, electrifying and attractive!

The Japanese kanji 'nintai' means patience, perseverance, or endurance.

The objective of the game is to tumble a rectangular block through each stage and deposit it into the square hole at the end. Switches, road blocks and arrows are located in many levels. Switches are activated by having the block stand on it.

Features:

  • 100 unique stages designed for mobile devices
  • Can be played by only using the trackball
  • "Fly Over Stage" feature (ALT + Trackball)
  • Special sound effects
  • Hall of Fame
  • Customized theme
  • And much more...
  • Compatible with all BlackBerry resolutions including new Bold

The video above goes through the first few levels of the game and provides a pretty good overview of what Nintaii is all about. The concept is simple, the game play is intuitive and it's seriously addictive and fun (warning: you will spend hours playing it).

Nintaii just became available for sale today! You can download a copy from our ShopCrackBerry.com Software Store or grab it by visiting CrackBerryAppStore.com from your berry's browser. Nintaii sells for $9.99 and a free trial is available. If you give it a go, be sure to post your reactions in the comments!

This game is amazing!!! If you want to try it on your computer, it's called Bloxorz. You can play it here:

Based on what I'm seeing, I think these two are the same games.

I should be raking leaves... but NOOOOOO. You had to hook me on this game!

If I purchase this game for my Curve, will it be compatible with the Storm once I purchase that? Or will I need to re-purchase the game? Does anyone know?

What I'm wondering is what BlackBerry model is that in the video? It's got a Pearl-like portrait screen but Bold-like silver trim.

this game is BA. its a knock off of the the mini clip game bloxorz, which is an aswesome game. you can test it out online for free at http://www.miniclip.com/games/bloxorz/en/

The basic moves are similar to boxorz and cubic man on the iPhone. But Nintaii has 100 levels and introduces some new concepts like the arrows. And best of all that's the only one I can play on my blackberry!

Well... I'm addicted. :(

By: frouz | Date: Sun, 10/19/2008 - 18:15

it seems like you don't need to purchase the game. i downloaded the demo version, and when i got to level 10 it said that "the demo version only has 10 levels, thanks for playing". but when i started the game up again, it went to level 11 and then 12 and then 13 and now its on level 28!
i dunno if this is a bug or a glitch, but i was going o purchase this game, now i guess i don't have to!

By: speedmetal69 | Date: Sun, 10/19/2008 - 22:23

You are right, I downloaded the trial version but when I selected new game it started from level 11 and so on. Hmmm I wonder if the developer caught on yet lol. I hope this trial version goes the distance and gives us every level up to 100. If you haven't downloaded the trial go and get it before the cracked version is gone!! This game is so damn addicting ;]

By: lamonicaj | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 07:52

I downloaded last night, and needless to say I was up till 2am. Only stopped because it said the Demo version went to 10....read this mornings blogs and discovered it let me go to level 11....good thing I didn't find out last night....may have never went to bed!!!

By: dynalmadman | Date: Sun, 10/19/2008 - 21:10

Can you save, or must you start from the beginning every time?

More addictive than BrickBreaker?

I never let go of my berry but with this game its gonna become glued to my hand. Ahhh!!!

wow that is a very cool game. it feels like im the one playing it. i wish someone will give me a blackberry this Christmas..my dream phone.

By: robotaholic | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 05:13

By: Fana0 (not verified) | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 10:07

Dammit! I stumbled upon this game last night and bought it instantaneously without even trying the demo since i liked the action in the video so much ;-) Played entire day at work so far, having a blast lol

By: Dirtbuddy420 | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:05

Good game for sure. Anyone else have problems resuming a game after left for a while? I can see 'resume game' but i'm unable able to click it....

By: mscooley | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:31

Likewise. I, too, discovered this :)

By: Anonymous (not verified) | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 13:21

This is HIGHLY addictive! Much, MUCH better than Brickbreaker!

I downloaded at around 11 last night - currently on level 44...must put down...must put down...

By: Loony2nz | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:03

That's one of the first things I removed to free up memory. Not fun at all :( It got replaced with Viigo hahaha Now that's entertainment

By: darylxnelson | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 15:47

By: Dirtbuddy420 | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 17:32

The trial version will only let you get to level 10.

By: speedmetal69 | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 19:15

Select a new game once you have completed level 10, That was my experience and I got that info from another person who posted about it. It should still work unless they finally figured it out.

By: wwalker | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 20:52

You only get the first ten levels to try out, not all 100 as had been stated it the article yesterday. But what I did get to try out was really fun. Thanks

By: Jrbrownbigdaddy (not verified) | Date: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 21:40

Thanks for the free game tip I downloaded the trial and loved it then I was on my way to buy it and decided to read the comments and caught on to the glitch thank god I didn't buy then look at the comments saved me 10 bucks "that's like a new pair of shoes - yea or a tricked out name tag (FLO). Lol sorry if u don't get it its a commercial

By: AkMike79 | Date: Tue, 10/21/2008 - 00:00

Definitely hooked. I would get fed up and then really look at placement and it made it easy. A great game to pass the time. Apparently they caught the glitch as it wont let me go to level 11 and beyond. That sucks. I guess I was a few hours too late. Should've downloaded it last nite.

By: darylxnelson | Date: Tue, 10/21/2008 - 00:04

i got it to work. dled the demo for this game then when i got to level 10 it said "the demo only carries 10 levels". press ok. then go to quit game. wait a little bit then go back to nintaii and click on new game. it should start at level 11 and youll have the whole game. im on level 36 with the demo version.

By: got berry | Date: Tue, 10/21/2008 - 12:06

What stage are you at right now? I am on stage 48. I am hooked for sure.

By: Anonymous (not verified) | Date: Wed, 10/22/2008 - 03:28

I just passed level 100! I was hoping for some Congratulations screen or something. But all it did was start me over at the first level.

Good game. Luckily I didn't pay for it.

The first 60 levels were quick and the last 20 were a little more challenging but not much. The game didn't last long enough!

By: phishgirl3 | Date: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 23:25

I can't get past level 3... I must be retarded...lol

By: phishgirl3 | Date: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 23:27

Waiting for my comment to post, I got it. hehehe now I feel smarter.

kinda.
;)

By: setasai | Date: Sun, 11/02/2008 - 19:58

awww no fair... I had it but then I upgraded to 4.5 and when I did I had to reinstall it and now I cant get past 10... I guess they fixed the glitch because I got to level 48 and decided to do the upgrade.

Oh well. Great game though.

I'm all about trying out downloads and buying applications and games for my blackberry curve, but I'd have to say, hands down, that this game is the best "game" I've every played on my device. It's easy, it's complicated, it's intricate, while simple. I'd recommend this game to ANYONE that likes to have fun using their blackberry.
