    Dr. Popper for Zune

    I'm pleased to announce that I have successfully got my Dr. Popper game running on Zune. Here is a screenshot:

    You?ll need XNA 3.0 to deploy this game. Of course, you'll also need a Zune. Detailed instructions on how to get games on your Zune here:

    Here is a link to the CCGAME file:

    Keys: The D-Pad to move your cursor, and the "Play" button to pop the bubbles. The "Back" button will undo your last move. Back button twice goes to the main menu.

    Scoring: Pop 2 or more connected at a time, with scoring by the following formula:

    (bubbles popped - 1) * (bubbles popped + 1)

    Game Modes:

    Traditional - No pieces shift, and no new pieces come in
    Continuous - Like Traditional, but if you clear a column you get another column of pieces
    Shifter - Like Traditional, but pieces shift to the right to fill any empty spaces
    MegaShifter - My favorite, a combination of Shifter and Continuous
