TechPad Productions is proud to present its first game for the Apple App Store, iNetMania! iNetMania is based heavily upon TechPad’s popular and award-winning board game, ServerMania. Compete with up to three other players (either human with hot-seat multiplayer or computer controlled AI) to create the most successful website with the highest amount of visitors. The game takes the player from the start-up phase all the way to the finish line, with plenty of highs and lows (or Spikes and Slumps) along the way. Increase your web traffic, as visitors translate into money – the player with the largest pile of cash at the end of the game wins!

Pros and cons of iNetMania app for iPhone and iPad
iNetMania app good for
Nicely done! Great way to spend time when stuck in the airport.
I was curious about iNetMania after checking out the screens – it looked intriguing so I downloaded it, and am extremely happy with my decision! It’s a simple yet deep board game experience. The object of the game is straightforward enough – make your way across the game board (using an awesome accelerometer-based rolling mechanism) and try to build a successful website with more visitors and more cash reserves than your opponents. I’ve played several times already, both with AI and human opponents, and it’s a fun, entertaining way to spend 20 or so minutes. I HIGHLY recommend checking out iNetMania!
Great game! Its like a sophisticated monopoly. Playing with both the AI and friends is a blast and its a great way to kill 30 minutes. Worth the money.
I am so thrilled that board games are making a breakthrough to the iPhone. The graphics on this game are great, and the game is simple and not too complex to catch onto and learn how to play. Even though this is a board game for the iPhone without the board, you still get great features and similarities to playing a real board game, the fact that you can shake the dice and it looks so real makes this game that much more fun. I also love the fact that you can play by yourself or with other players. The fact that you can play by yourself is something that you cannot do with the boardgame. This game is fun, exciting, and awesome to play! I would definitely reccommend buying it!
iNetMania is a marvelous game; I bought to play with my young teenagers. It is a great modern version of a classic board game; you roll dice out of a 3D cup (very cool graphics) and work your way through the board trying to make the best website. It has a good amount of decision making, often with some challenges in a simplistic straightforward way. iNetMania was instantly our new family favorite.
This is a really fun, yet simple game. I only wish it kept track of the wins/losses for your profiles.
Some bad moments
There is no point to this game. Everything is random. Money earned is pointless since you end up earning more than you will ever spend. Card and dice animations are slow and need to be sped up.
Goes to show that the ratings on here really dont tell you squat about an app. This game is boring. I rather play monopoly, scrabble, or hell even video poker.
This board game is mostly chance. You basically roll the die, move the piece and do what the space says. There are also annoying "Go back two
spaces" spaces which is a sign of poor game design since the space you go back to never changes.
There is a bit of gambling involved too. As you can buy insurance when getting close to certain spots. But really, theres no substance here and no strategy. The animations are too long too and the nifty dice cup is nifty the first two times, then it just makes you wish it would hurry up because the die rolls at a snails pace. The pieces move excruciatingly slow as well.
I suggest getting Monopoly instead which is about the same price but offers a lot more in terms of substance and game play.
Its kind of fun as board games go, but the entire thing is chance... The only strategy is marketing/no marketing and there is little reason not to spend the money every turn
Need to be able to see 6 squares ahead before rolling.
How about giving the CEO bonus to the first across the finish line. I finished quickly and was losing... Kind of sucked watching the computer rack up bucks and visitors over 4 more rolls while I just sat there.
Agree with other commenters about speed. Id prefer to skip the computer die roll animation (with a screen tap or control panel option, perhaps)
This "game" is weighted heavily towards the computer and is wayyyy overpriced @ $3 bucks, now thst I
Think of it its overpriced for FREE !!!
