Eliss is a groundbreaking multi-touch game. Your job is to keep up harmony in an odd universe made of blendable planets. Touch-control multiple planets at once, join them together into giant orbs or split them up into countless dwarf planets, and match their size with the squeesars. Wipe off the stardust, resist to the attraction of the vortex and other space phenomena, and slow down the passage of time. Each of the 20 levels will require creative ways and strategies in using your fingers. Warm up your hands, you’re up for some serious finger gymnastics in the bizarro galaxy.

“Because there isn't another game like Eliss -- she's one in a million.” Offworld

“Simply stated, Eliss perfectly demonstrates what iPhone gaming can be. It’s a highly challenging game that’s near impossible to put down and it could not exist on any other platform.” Touch Arcade

“the elegance and novelty of its design (it is one of the first true multi-touch games) [...] make it one of the most original and essential games for the platform.” Boing Boing

“The longer I play it the more impressed I am with just how perfect this game is for the iPhone platform. There’s no game in the App Store that uses multitouch so fully.” Touch Arcade"

Jinni Recommendation Service Like Pandora for Movies

By Adam Pash, 4:00 PM on Thu Feb 12 2009, 10,256 views

Web site Jinni is a new closed beta web site that finds movies you'll like based on your mood—kind of like Pandora, but for movies. Sound interesting? We're handing out invites.

As you can see from the video, Jinni offers recommendations based on content, so you can perform crazy searches like "dogs go to space" and hope to find a good result. Incidentally, that search did not work on Jinni—but a search like "save world in space" finds 39 strong options. The search results are displayed as images, and the size of the image is relative to its relevance to the search (e.g., the more "save world in space" applies to the movie, the larger its image). Jinni integrates with Netflix, so you can quickly add a DVD to your queue once you find it in Jinni.

Recommendation services are always tricky, since, as they say, there's no accounting for taste. Still, it seems to work with music recommendation sites like Pandora or Last.fm, and Jinni looks like a very promising recommendation engine for movie lovers.
