Tak3Tik®

My iPhone app Tak3Tik® is now available in the iTunes App store. There is a Lite version which supports the "Human vs. Human" mode and a full version which provides a computer opponent. Check it out!

Future plans for the full version are iPad HD support and game center support.

Breakpoints are not working in Xcode
