When we come across game apps, the usual objective is to get high scores and of course rewards. We have a lot of this on the iPhone. However, this new game app from GOSUB 60 called Bliss offers something different. Users will still get the standard high scores and rewards but can exchange them for donations over at the Beautiful Day Foundation which supports the fight against cancer.

Bliss is a combination of puzzles and matching games wherein a player would get pink ribbons when they reach a certain milestone. These pink ribbons are then exchanged for points or donations to the Beautiful Day Foundation in their quest to fight the dreaded breast cancer. The foundation is responsible for creating education to women and provides the necessary support for women inflicted with the said disease.

The Bliss app can be downloaded at the Apple App Store for $0.99. The app is also available for download for the Blackberry phones and can be downloaded at the Blackberry App World.
