Program Updates:

ver. 5.20 ( Aug. 31, 2004)

  • the game was optimized for Sony Clie PDAs. The Jog Dial control can be used like the 5-way control of the PalmOne handhelds. For more info read the Sony-Clie-Jog-Dial doc.
  • added the Quick Game option into Advanced Prefs. This is a new way to shorten the game duration. If you activate it the falling speed would advance much faster (30 cubes per level) not like according the classic Blockout rules - 100 cubes per level.
  • Palm OS 6 Cobalt compatible.

ver. 5.18 ( Nov. 17, 2003)

  • added special version for Treo600 smartphones - low-res graphics with all other benefits of the PalmOS5 version;
  • new navigation features - if the rotation/translation is impossible because of the neighbor cubes, 3D Blockout now shows one of the intersected cubes in yellow to give you information how to get out of there;
  • you can use the whole screen as a big toolbar with fat buttons. Tap on the arrow in the upper right corner to see screen map. Note: Using the Palm hard keys is still better choice for professionals.
