Hi all! I have downloaded the game and spent a couple of minutes with it. So far it is a fun puzzler. Easy to figure out and nice to play for a puzzler. I will try to play some more after getting my kid to take a nap. He is insisting that if I play my DSi that we either take pictures of him or I play UNO.

Cool thinkin about this game alot bein i hav only 1500 points left and bein that Rytmik is comin soon. Something told me to order Dragon Quest IX from amazon which i could have it today so i can save my points for the 23th but now i dont know what to do. Now dont have no money for the game only more, cant get more points till next month because im goin to Six Flags Great Adventure next week dont know what to do? P.S till thinkin about TURN.

Have beaten the first two levels of the first world. So far it is an interesting game. I have learned that sometimes that I would make a solution harder than it should be. Still have not decided if it is worth 800 points. Will post more when I get a chance.

I was tempted to go out and get a points card for this, but decided against it. For one thing, it's over 2x the price of the iPhone rendition, despite being the inferior version. The reviews for the iPhone version weren't too positive either, which is a bad sign given the fun starved tendency of App reviewers to rain praise even the most vaguely entertaining title.

Yes its 2x the price for this game but its not bad of a game its pretty good. Since i dont own a iphone dont care for one but for it to be on the ds cant go wrong with that(it is what it is).

Played a couple more levels last night before falling asleep. It is an enjoyable game - not too easy as to get bored. The graphics are nice. And it is fun to crush the baddies -

Hi everyone, my name is Etienne, I'm a producer at Creative Patterns.

Nice to read some people actually enjoyed playing TURN I'm really concerned about the price issue, but iPhone and DSiWare are two very different platforms. A DSiWare game asks for a highest production value in terms of Q.A. and development, as well as a lot of validation process since we cannot "update" a game once it is released. Only sound and gameplay are the same, and actually it's a very low part of the game budget. We've revised the whole LD and the arts and engine have been entirely processed into a DSi production line, which is very more costly than a iPhone development. But well, that's also why we've got a higher global quality on Nintendo's platforms than on the Appstore where you could release nearly everything.
I don't think we can't bear comparison with other DSiWare title with that price, you may love the arts or not but we've worked really hard to release a nice and polish game for our first release on the DSiWare. Nintendo decide the price of every game on DSiWare and I don't think they were wrong with TURN's price, actually I trust them since we don't have such a specialized Sales & Marketing department here in our little French studio.

I hope, and actually I'm confident, that those who will be interested in and who will buy our game will enjoy it and won't regret spending 800 points in it The game could be a bit hard for some few people who are not accustomed to puzzle games, but we've made many improvements on gameplay and ergonomics to make the DSiWare version much enjoyable than iPhone's one.

Cheers from France!

P.S. Nintendo Life's review is a little bit harsh but we praise it as well as the IGN UK's one ( http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/111/1112275p1.html ) since remarks and critics are what makes our future games even better.
