Best Color Apps

What software, apps, and/or games do you think best shows off your Visor's color capabilities? Have you ever come across some color software that looked so great you had to stop and admire it for a while?
Personally I think the colors and animation in ababall really show some potential for the palm OS.
Let me know what you all think are great color apps.

Of course "Zap!2016" is fantastic! Pretty much ANY game that does color is preferrable - that is why you WANT a Prism!

"Bejeweled" is nicer in color for sure - ditto for "Atomica", "Mummy Maze", and "Seven Seas" (Gee - guess who has the Pop Cap series...?!)

Betcha there are others that are way cool too.... Anyone???

I would agree that Zap really shows off the prism, but one of the apps that makes me love to look at my prism is Launcher III. Something about having each tap set to a different color just makes me appreciate having a prism.

You should try out Blast Pad, and tell me whether it compares with Launcher. It only takes 16k (compared to Launcher's 69k), and is flexible in terms of the # of apps you can launch from it - I use it with the max (16 apps).

Launcher III used to be my favorite, but now I am using Silverscreen 2.3.1 with chromacast.

Sorry, 150k (Silverscreen) PLUS 55k (Chromacast) equals OVER TEN TIMES the footprint of the venerable Blast Pad. PLUS, on your "ALL" screen, Blast Pad sorts alphabetically on the first screen, which is pretty handy.

I know that this thread is about good looks, and Zap2016 FOR SURE takes a ton of space..... And the screen shot of Silverscreen/Chromacast DOES look pretty sweet!

I guess I'm just paranoid now that I'm trying to save as much space as possible for the (possibly candid!) mini-movies that I'm shooting these days... HEH HEH!!

Okay, I'll bite... where can I get Blast Pad??

Also, as far as I know it doesn't support color, so it shouldn't even be in this discussion... correct me if I am wrong please.

This is where I got it - while the screenshot on this web page is b/w, the app does work in color!

Good luck!
