A company called Cogniflame is joining the iPhone gaming scene with a brand new title called StarHunt. Just as the name says, the goal is to collect all the stars in a large house. I know, it sounds super stupid and only kids could find that interesting, but that’s actually not the case. At least I like it.
The game takes place in a large pre-rendered 3D house, which looks awesome with tons of little details. Your goal is to explore the heck out of that house and find stars (200 per game) in every room. To succeed, you’ll need to open cupboards and drawers, look behind furniture and through bookshelves, and outside amongst rocks and bushes.
You can think of it as a meaningless (your only goal is to collect the friggin’ stars) point-and-click adventure game, made up of over a thousand detailed still-frames.
Finally, as you progress and become an expert in discovering stars, you may want to share your achievements. You can do that thanks to the OpenFeint integration, which allows sharing on Facebook and Twitter.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
