Plazmoids!
$14.95 - Intorine

Plazmoids! is an arcade game for Palm OS that combines superb high resolution, 3D-style graphics, sophisticated visual effects, and addictive techno music and sound. But what makes the game unique is its unusual gameplay based on original physics. We are proud to present this breakthrough game that not only gives hours of amusement and fun, but also changes the look of the arcade genre. Unlike classic space arcades, Plazmoids! employs the physical laws of acceleration, momentum, and magnetism. You are in control of a spacecraft that scours space for plazmoids - valuable energy resources - and collects them through the use of a hi-tech magnetic beam. But since you are not alone in this job, get ready to face numerous enemies, each with their own features and behaviour, master several types of weapon, and upgrade your tiny ship to a powerful space fortress. Inpredictable space bodies, coward mines, and devastating enemy bases will turn your job into a hell. Will you stand it, clean up fifteen sectors of the galaxy and win the war for plazmoids?"

RSIGuard Stretch Edition
$65 - Remedy Interactive

RSIGuard helps you avoid getting a repetitive strain injury (RSI) from computer use.

RSIGuard's BreakTimer feature contains a realistic strain model that gives stretch break suggestions when they're needed, and doesn't bother you when they're not. The AutoClick feature is an artificially intelligent mouse-clicking feature that nearly eliminates shoulder and wrist pain from mouse usage -- the leading cause of RSI. KeyControl allows you to create effort-saving macro hotkeys as well as remap your keyboard to be more efficient. RSIGuard provides customizable microbreak awareness reminders with its ForgetMeNots feature.

RSIGuard's DataLogger keeps track of useful ergonomic statistics such as: typing rate, mousing & typing intensity; length of computer; work behavior information; detailed keyboard use analysis; and more. It can show and print graphs of workstyle trends over the years for use by a health practitioner. RSIGuard also supports multiple users on the same computer so each user's configuration and data are managed separately.
