Komics is a web comic viewer for your Windows Phone 7 device. Find your favorite web comic, favorite it, and let us tell you when it is updated.

It has 2 components: a web services component and the WP7 app. My focus was on everything client related from designing the page to creating the custom image viewer. The image viewer has pinch zooming and image snapping on the screen edge.

EVERYTHING

This was done purely as a test to make money. The assumption was there would be a "Holiday Themed Indie Games" feature in the Spotlight channel like there was for previous Holidays, but it didn't happen.

At least I made enough money to get a paycheck for this game...

I did everything myself over the course of about 1 month.

GAMEPLAY
PLAYTESTING

Battlesweeper is a great Minesweeper game.

It has 4 player local & online play with 4 game modes we created, not to mention the normal game with multiple difficulties we all know and love.

Unfortunately the "real"/"official" Minesweeper game (Minesweeper Flags) was released out of no where the day we submitted for peer review. We ended up selling like 5 copies and never receiving any money.
