Yup, SPiN update has been submitted to QA. Let's hope we did it right so it doesn't do the Angry Birds disappearing trick for the duration :)

Re: SPiN - 3D Shape Matching in OVi Store

Trial versions don't work for all games. Sometimes the value of a game is in the controls and the wow you feel when the experience is still new.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread

Zen Bound uses the volume buttons on the device to control its internal sound volume. There won't be graphical feedback, but the buttons control the game volume.
