A good many people have been enjoying collecting starites since Scribblenauts Remix first hit the App Store. It's a pretty nifty game, after all. The down-side to games like this is that they eventually end once each level has been completed. There's always the fun of revisiting completed stages in order to see what other bizarre ways its puzzles can be solved, but once it's done it's pretty much done. Until the developers release more levels for it, that is.

5th Cell has just made a new batch of 20 levels available for purchase, on top of the preexisting 50. I'm sure there are at least a few players out there who've been wishing there was more for them to do since they ran out of content, and an announcement like this should certainly brighten their day. Now they've got 20 more levels to bombard with adjectives and nouns as they attempt to grab that starite and have a good laugh in the process.

The level pack is available right now via in-app purchase, and will only set players back $0.99

Egg Ball and BulkyPix are about to release a new platformer on the App Store. Please hold all sarcastic golf claps until I've finished. It's not exactly an under-represented genre, but JAZZ: Trump's Journey certainly looks to be a stand-out title.

It's not just the traipsing through New Orleans circa the 1920's. It's also the awesomely stylized graphics, as well as the plot (inspired by the life of one Louis Armstrong no less) involving bringing jazz music to life for the first time in human history. Then there's the way the game's music will build, layer upon layer, as Trump begins recruiting musicians. There's so much about this game that sounds awesome.

Of course, we'll have to wait for it to come out before knowing if it lives up to expectations. It certainly looks like it will, though. Fortunately it won't be an incredibly long wait. JAZZ: Trump's Journey is scheduled for a universal January 19th release. No word yet on a price but I'm going to assume that whatever it is, it'll be worth it.
