Improved Mastermind Gameplay

AppsPerfect has launched MobiMind, a unique game application for iPhone and iPod Touch users. The App is an amped up version of the classic Mastermind game, offering custom themes, levels of difficulty for kids and adults and a chance for players to get into the MobiMind Worldwide Hall of Fame.

MobiMind stays true to the classic Mastermind game, using the same rules and regulations, however developers have added some interesting and exciting perks to step things up a bit and add to the original concept. The app creates a hidden color code each time a new game is started. Moving colored buttons into places that match with the secret code is a test of users' skills of logic and deduction. In fact, each attempt at solving the code helps to develop those attributes. When a player has placed a button in the correct location, a small black marker appears to indicate a correct answer.

This app is the only one of its kind that keeps tally while a game is being played. Players can tell at a glance how they're doing. If they succeed in figuring out the code, they can upload their score to the MobiMind leaderboard. The highest scores can even make it into the Worldwide Hall of Fame.


Achieving Hall of Fame status is a big deal for MobiMind gamers. To help them along, the app includes some ways to increase scores, such as rating higher for solving the code in the fewest moves, increasing level difficulty and including blanks. There are four levels of difficulty, all of which can have Hall of Fame winners. Users have a choice of Kids, Normal, Difficult and Extreme. Each one allows for an even higher increase of difficulty by moving up the number of counters used in the hidden code.

Features:
* Uses the same concept, rules and regulations as the classic Mastermind board game
* Four levels of difficulty: kids (for 6 years and up), normal (like the original), difficult and extreme
* Each level can be made more difficult by increasing the number of colored counters used in the hidden code
* Optional 'blank' feature
* Users can choose their own background theme
* Selection of cool counters; colorblind gamers can play
* App keeps score during gameplay
* User score can be uploaded to the Worldwide Hall of Fame when they win a game
* There is a worldwide champion for every level
* Web access for Help page and access to WikiPedia

Colorblind people can play MobiMind too, thanks to the app's choice of counters. Players can select any one of the included themes such as, pool balls, sports balls, planets, eyeballs, etc. Instructions and a 'Help' page are always available for anyone who needs it, so newbies shouldn't have any trouble getting started with the game.

Overall, MobiMind offers everything that anyone who enjoys gameplay could want. There's fun, challenge and notoriety, all there in one application. It may take some practice but if a player endures, they are very likely to have the honor of seeing their name listed in the Worldwide Hall of Fame. Not a bad payoff for having fun.
