Chain3 - New iPhone Puzzle Game
Chain3 is an upcoming puzzle game for the iPhone from indie developer Shawn McGrath. It functions in the common match-3 framework, but it allows for any piece to be dragged anywhere with no restrictions. This means making a match is trivial, so the game is based on the idea of chaining matches so that one match causes another, and that causes another, etc.
After you make a match, the tiles will flash for a short time, giving you a chance to setup the pieces for the next match in the chain. Also, just before the tiles drop, there's a brief pause, allowing you to slip pieces under falling pieces to cause chains, à la Tetris Attack.
There's a YouTube video, game information, and a detailed description of the game system.
Chain3 will be available from the iTunes App Store the first day it opens.

Very few people know this, but Shawn carries around a stack of 4 iPhones because he's just that awesome.

And Each one of those iPhones rocks some sort of N+ paraphernalia.
Re: light sabre samples: it's cool, me and George Lucas, or as I call him "little G" go way back. Actually I synthesized all the sounds.
