Simon Remix Public Beta & Private Beta reopened!
Simon Remix Public Beta & Private Beta reopened!
By blackvenage at 2008-07-14
RE - Development is proud to announce that finally we bring to you the Simon Remix Public Beta. Unlike the last beta release, this time it is for everyone. Not only are we announcing the public beta, we are happy to say that the private beta is reopened as well. Read more about the private beta later in this announcement.
The Game
For those of you who don't know, Simon Remix is based off a classic electronic game called Simon Says. The goal of the game is to have the computer, Simon, spit out a random set of colors. It is up to the player to input back those colors in the correct order. If you match them all, you move to the next round, and it gets harder. You match them incorrectly, and ooooo it's game over for you.
How to Play
To play, start Simon Remix, press the verify beta button (game expires at the end of July), press New Game, then start to start round 1. There are currently two forms of input. You can enable Num Lock on your BlackBerry and use 2 for Green (up), 4 for Blue (left), 6 for Red (right), and 8 for Yellow (down). Or if you prefer, you can hit the first letter of each color. For example to input red, red, blue, green, you would enter r, r, b, g.
The Features
Simon Remix now is re-skinned to a fresh sharp new look. It has new features such as vibration verification, smaller cod file, A more sensible menu system, and most importantly Simon Remix now supports the Blackberry Curve 83xx series, Pearl 81xx series, and the 88xx series.

The Private Beta is re-opened however space is still limited to sign-up while you can.
