Dungelot Free for a Limited Time [Free iPhone Games]

The popular roguelikes game Dungelot is free for a limited time. Dungelot is kind of like Mindesweeper, but with a twist. Players must navigate dungeons by flipping over tiles to uncover treasure, and to find the golden key that unlocks the next level. The game also features an RPG element with turn-based battles, and the ability to collect weapons, spells and other helpful items. There are 5 different heroes to unlock with 15 different abilities to upgrade, and plenty of fun, cartoon monsters to fight. The game also offers leaderboard support and achievements.

The game has decent reviews, but I found it to be a little tedious, and it doesn't offer much in the strategy department. You basically just flip tiles and hope your health doesn't run out before you find the key. If you do die, you lose everything and must start over. The game is fine for a free download if you have few minutes to kill, but I wouldn't recommend paying for it.

iPhone Tweak Automates Vibration and DND Settings

Wouldn’t it be great if your iPhone knew when you didn’t want to be disturbed automatically? Now the jailbreak tweak MyVibe offers several options to control Do Not Disturb (DND) settings and vibration based on the device’s position in space. The feature Upside Down Silencer automatically puts the iPhone in DND mode any time the device is placed face down on a flat surface.

This means silencing your iPhone temporarily is as simple as placing it down in the right position. There are other features of the tweak available from the Settings -> MyVibe menu. Table Vibrate is similar to the upside down silencer, however in this case the tweak will only stop vibration when the iPhone is horizontal.

Add the iMessage Typing Indicator to Status Bar

iMessage has brought more convenience and features to iOS users since Apple introduced the feature in October 2011. With the ability to communicate directly between iOS devices and OS X desktop computers, the service can save iPhone users text message charges as well.

One of the highlights of iMessage is an ellipsis (…) that appears in a grey bubble when the person you’re communicating with is typing a response. This makes the whole experience more like an instant messenger client with real-time chat. The jailbreak tweak TypeStatus takes this concept a step further.
