bitFlip is a "match three" style game, but it has its own flare which makes it different and unique in its own way. The matching is done with a little flipping tool that can flip the color on the piece and the location of the pieces to match up three or more. The graphics are great and quick and the game just keeps going. This is a game that will keep players entertained for hours as they go for the next high score. There is no story or plot, it is simply matching.

“…it makes itself essential by being intuitive, refreshing, and altogether one big synergistic delight…bitFLIP does an outstanding job of taking an established concept and overhauling it to a near-unrecognizable degree…consider bitFLIP an essential download.” Cole Jones, The Tilt, 1up.com

"[bitFLIP] is a puzzle game that's really well suited to the iPhone .. it's a trip. Nice one to sorta zone out and not think for a while." - Justin McElroy, Joystiq.com

“Mixing interesting puzzle mechanics, great music, a truly unique (and often beautiful) visual presentation, and a variety of gameplay options, I can confidently say that there's more than enough enjoyable gaming to be had here to warrant your two bucks.” - Ben Gilbert, Joystiq.com

“Although essentially a match-three variant, bitFlip brings a bunch of style and some welcome innovation to the mix.” (4/5 stars) - Robert Corra, 148Apps.com

“The fact that I have been coming back to it every couple days – another iPhone puzzle game in an endless sea of iPhone puzzle games – means I like what I see.” (4/5) - Joe Fourhman, Aeropause.com

Bejeweled killer - 5 stars - May 1, 2010
Edit: Devs managed to find me on Twitter to clarify things-nice! After playing this for many hours, my only complaint is that it's not as responsive as I'd wish (most evident during the popping powerup-running on an original 3G) also this thing eats up your battery like crazy.
This is probably the best title to come from a Chicago game company in ages! - 5 stars - April 24, 2010
I looked into the developer and they are a start-up like most iphone companies, but these guys got it right! The game is extremely smooth and polished from the start. The replay value is excellent and the ability to join a game that is in progress is extremely cool. Great work!
Fun but - 3 stars - April 13, 2010
Latest update makes it sluggish on 2g iPod touch. Game used to be really responsive which was great but now seems laggy. Sets up slow now for each round. And yes I did reboot. Also I think there is too much bubble popping during bonus rounds. It's like it ceases being a sorta skill game to a mindless tapper. The angled sliding screen is cool though :-).
Amazing! - 5 stars - April 12, 2010
Wow! These guys nailed it! I saw the review on ign and figured I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I love match 3 puzzle games but everything that has come out as of late has just been lame. The twist on that sub-genre that this game has, simply rules. A friend of mine got it as well so that we could check out the multiplayer and it's was a wise decision; it's a lot of fun. I'm already looking forward to updates. A+ game right here.
Awesome game - 5 stars - April 10, 2010
This game rocks! I am a long-time player, and the update definitely gives the app a polished feel. Match-3 games are NOT all the same. This one sets itself apart. Give it a try, and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly. I love the quick-jams (now pop) for a quick fix. The new leaderboards (iComplishments) are great. Oh, and the soundtrack is the perfect mix of beats for this game! ...so much more.
