Jawbreaker (Windows Mobile game)

Jawbreaker is a port of SameGame for the Pocket PC bundled with the Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 operating system for PDAs.

The game itself was developed by American studio oopdreams software, Inc.[2] Jawbreaker is officially listed as one of the "Core Applications" of the Windows Mobile software family, in a paper released by Microsoft.

The player then clicks on any two or more connecting similarly-colored balls to eliminate them from the matrix, earning an appropriate number of points in the process.

As with the regular standard mode, the game ends when the player runs out of adjacent like-colored balls.

The newly-appearing column of balls can be previewed at the bottom of the screen before they are brought on-board and they appear from the leftmost side of the game board.

[7] Windows Mobile 2003 was Jawbreaker's first inclusion into a packaged handheld operating system.

Bubblets in this form is available for a much broader range of operating systems than the Jawbreaker version.

[11] As Bubblets, the game was a finalist for the Best Puzzle Game category of Pocket PC Magazine's Pocket PC Award Winners of 2001, won by another SameGame clone called PocketPop produced by PocketFun (http://www.pocketfun.co.uk/PocketPopRevenge.html Archived 2016-03-03 at the Wayback Machine).

This iteration of the game could be run on mobile devices supporting Java ME CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 with screen resolutions of 240×320 or 176×220.
