The idea of Textopolis for iPhone and iPod touch is to use the letters of the city (level) that you are on to spell as many words as you can. There are a total of 30 cities available, and to get to the next city you must get at least 10% of all the possible words. The words must be at least four letters long.

That also means I have not been able to advance to the harder cities in the game such as Ulyanovsk, or Saskatoon.

I must say that Comic Touch is a very unique application for the iPhone/iPod touch, and does a very good job at editing and adding comical effects to pictures directly on the iPhone or iPod touch. Comic Touch is a mixture of plasq’s two other apps for Mac OS X—Skitch and Comic Life—as it allows users to edit images with a variety of different effects, including Bulge, Dent, Squeeze, Stretch, and Light. It also offers the ability to add speech bubbles and captions to a photo to give it the feel of a comic.
