Farewell for now

Jul 25 2015

Our first game 'Keep In Play' was released on the App Store five years ago in 2010, our second game 'Block Six' was released three years ago in 2012. With several iterations of iPhone and iOS having come and gone over the years the games are due for updates. Over the years however the team at Garuda Force has moved onto exciting new projects and ventures and so this is not something we can get to right away. Therefore, as of July 2015 we have decided to make our games unavailable on the App Store.

We want to thank everyone who played Keep In Play and Block Six. We hope you have had as much fun playing them as we have had making them. Both games were a labour of love, we worked hard to make them original and packed with great gameplay. Making our own games to share with others has been a life long dream for us and we are proud of what we created, it's been a great experience and thank you for joining us. For now at least, it is farewell.

Oct 19 2013

Some people have experienced problems launching Keep In Play and/or Block Six following the recent update of iOS. If you are affected you can resolve this issue by going to the App Store and re-downloading the game. You should not lose any saved data. Re-downloading will overwrite the existing game on the device and fix the issue.


Thank you to the user reviewers

Jul 10 2012

Block Six is being downloaded now across the world and the first few user reviews have been posted on the USA store. A special thank you to these reviewers for taking the time and writing up your thoughts, for independent developers this sort of feedback means a lot, especially when we get very little coverage, and getting five stars from all of you so far is very encouraging. Please take the time to you review Block Six!

Keep In Play temporarily unavailable

Jun 6 2012

Due to a transition Keep In Play will be temporarily unavailable from the App Store starting today. Keep In Play will return to the store soon and following it a couple of weeks later will be the new Block Six.


Keep In Play 1.4 update

Aug 21 2011

An update to Keep In Play has been released with a fix to a minor issue involving an unnecessary message window occasionally appearing on level start up on some devices. The same fix has been applied to Keep In Play Lite. The updated Keep In Play 1.4 and Keep In Play Lite 1.2 are both available for download now. Happy game playing!


Keep In Play 1.3 update

Feb 26 2011

Keep In Play 1.3 is available now. If you have the game on your device you should be prompted to update shortly. This update adds a 'Slow Fireballs' mode that allows the game to be played with a lower difficulty level. Although the regular mode is carefully balanced to provide fun and challenge this new mode should provide players who struggle with regular mode to have more fun. Slow Fireballs can be turned on from the Options menu (pictured).

Additionally if you fail a level a few times you will be asked if you would like to turn Slow Fireballs mode on. This update also improves some of the How To Play documentation and makes it easier for players to rate the game by providing a button that links directly to the review entry page (also accessed in the options menu).

Download the update now and if you have not yet tried Keep In Play now is a great time to do so. Enjoy 51 levels of ribbon drawing fun.
