    Hi Quantumsheep.

    I just bought your game yesterday and it's a really good one.:)
    Very addictive, reactive and I really like the graphics: very simple and very esthetic.

    And making a black and white game for Iphone is so elegant.
    Congratulations!

    Benoit (S&B)

    Thank you! Much appreciated! :D

    Air Supply 1.2 is out today - including a few bug fixes, hopefully some performance improvements, a new stats page, new control options - oh my!

    Edit - oh! And there's a new music track to unlock!

    I submitted the update on Friday - so it only took four days to have it approved - good news for everyone there!

    Working on 1.3 as we speak and it's coming along nicely. Will hopefully have it submitted by the end of the week. That'll include a new mode, which I'm enjoying!

    I'll make a new vid I think over the weekend!

    Cheers!

    QS :D

    QS I know you like the retro stuff and I believe you have an iPad so you should check out this game, it's sooo good!
    Developed by some of my fellow Canadians and shows how much passion a good developer puts into there work.

    Bought Air Supply last night. Great game with the total retro package!

    My only minor complaint is that some of the smaller text is hard for me to read (although it may just be my eyes).

    I look forward to trying to unlock the achievements.

    Thank you! I hope you like it! Sorry about your eyes! :O

    The game has dropped off pretty much every 'feature' list except for what's hot in arcade and action for the US and Australia.

    I'm expecting a huge dip tomorrow :(

    BUT!

    In the US 'What's Hot' action section, it's joined by its older brother, Gravitrixx! :D

    Oh wow.

    I've just been told Pocketgamer.co.uk reviewed Air Supply - here's the link!

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Air+Supply/review.asp?c=28547

    A solid 7/10 from them. I'm astounded!

    And happy!

    QS :D

    Far out man! That's great news, and I seriously am looking forward to the next update...I wanna use that 'THRUST' buttons now!! :D
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    Wow you've had a ton of reviews for this game! How many are there in total now?? :) Nice work!
  • NexusGameStudioNexusGameStudio Member Posts: 265
    Gratz QS! Happy she's doing well for ya :)
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Thanks everyone!

    The pocketgamer review was a huge surprise! They'd featured our video, and I was sure that was all that would come of it.

    But hey, a month later and here it is! I'm very glad they liked it in general. Another call out for GameCentre though (it can't come soon enough) and in particular, GameCentre *achievements*.

    I think it's a huge shame that we're not getting GameCentre achievements *as well* as the leaderboards for the next release.

    I can only think that they want to give us *something* cool as soon as possible, and that achievements would delay things.

    So yeah, we got a nice spread of reviews, which is lovely, and we got two of the 'big three' in there as well! We didn't get *any* coverage from Touch Arcade, but to be honest, that's cool. The forum dwellers there seemed to take to the game very nicely, and that means more to me, frankly!

    The 1.3 update is almost done too, which is nice. 1.4 will hopefully be the GameCentre update, and I'm looking forward to dedicating more of my time to AS - SOS on the iPad and AS2.

    Fun times!

    QS :D

    Sorry to bump this again, but I just found another review - and this one is a bit 'deeper'...

    http://killscreendaily.com/articles/reviews/review-air-supply

    An interesting read if nothing else. I'm still not sure if they liked it or not!

    That is a very odd review. It feels like some sort of poetry reading or something.
  • BSideGamesBSideGames Member Posts: 392
    He may not like the game, but he sure does like to hear himself speak.
    on and on and on...

    you've gotten some great reviews, the next time you send out a game, make sure you email all these people, and in the first line put

    From the makers that brought you Air Supply!
  • AsymptoteellAsymptoteell Member Posts: 1,362
    Glad you're getting some reviews. Regardless of how poetic they are, they'll help you out no doubt.
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    Wow you are the review KING! That's a crazy amount of reviews, great work QS!! :)
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Thanks everyone!

    I like the review, actually. I *think* it's saying that it's not trying to be anything other than a game, and that it has some soul to it (essentially all the little imperfections show it was made by a human - or sheep, in this case).

    It's lovely that they found the game so interesting!

    I'm meeting up with Jake tonight for a session of unbearable wonderfulness, and I'll get him to play 1.3 before I submit to Apple - always good to get a second opinion ;)

    Cheers!

    QS :D

    Wow that's great qs!!

    Who's Jake? lol
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Jake's my video game partner in crime! We made Gravitrixx together, and he's cooking up something weird and wonderful that will go out under the QS banner :D

    His opinion is invaluable to me.

    And his beer money too! :)

    QS :D

    Words can not describe how awesome this looks... I just wish I had an iDevice to play it on!
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Thanks fella! Wish you could play it too!

    Nice to see you popping in as well ;)

    I just got another 7/10 from a french site - c'est la vie! :D

    And just like that, it's out!

    Version 1.3 is now available, with the added Fuel Supply mode (which has you flying a spaceship, using iCopter controls, and still shooting and collecting thingies!!)

    Yay!

    Here's a pic!

    image

    It took nine days from update sumbission to release - that's really not very good, is it?

    Please do let me know what you think of it!

    If you left a review on iTunes before, and you have a mo', an update from you would be awesome!

    Next update will hopefully have GameCentre in it ;)

    Cheers everyone!

    Just a small update :D

    Air Supply has been out for two months pretty much now, and it just got another favourable review - in italian! :D

    http://www.iphoneitalia.com/air-supply-la-recensione-di-iphoneitalia-219854.html

    I've no idea how big that site is, but it's nice to get reviews :D

    Update planned to include GameCentre of course, and then...

    Air Supply: SOS (ipad) is coming along nicely, and hope (HOPE!) to have that out by the end of the month - with something *completely* different following that in July, probably...

    Cheers everyone!

    QS :D
