Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs
As any other iOS developer we were saddened by the news of Steve Jobs having passed away. He created a great team and inspired them to work round the clock to create amazing devices and then let creative minds all over the world express themselves through apps and games for the platform. We thank him and send best wishes to those who were close to him. As a moment of silence in digital age, all our apps are free for 24 hours.
iGibbets
You should have heard it by now or seen in the top app charts. Our little game iGibbets has received a big update and flew up to the heights of AppStore like a rocket. Version 2.0 features a whole pack of new levels with new gameplay objects and what is more, the players can now compete with each other in real time through OpenFeint network. Best of all is that iGibbets is free for few hours. Are you fast enough to get it?
Robo-Update
This weekend an update to RoboSockets:Link Me Up has been released on the AppStore and players are welcome to check it out. It brings a few features that have been asked for in comments and e-mails and adds more strategy options. Notable things we’ve added are preview of the next robot and sound and visual effects for successful connections. Improvements have been made to the speed of rendering and the bug that sometimes occured when hotswapping between the apps has been eliminated. Enjoy saving the planet and we’ll go back to work on more updates and more games!

Carefully Growing Tatem Team
We hope our Canadian fans have celebrated Canada Day with fun, and 4th of July was joyful for all Americans. We on our part were working hard and here are the results: Tatem Games has opened a new office in a beautiful city of Nikolaev to be able to bring more cool games to the market and do it faster. Nikolaev is situated in the Southern part of Ukraine and there are currently under dozen developers and artists there, but we plan to hire more by the end of summer. The new office will help developers in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital sustain existing games with regular updates and treat gamers with brand new apps. Now, back to work!
