edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
Hey guys,

So I released Zeke in Orbit (HD) a month ago and have gotten really positive responses and views BUT almost everyone said that my graphics needed work: the gameplay is spot on and fun but the experience would change radically with new-age space-like graphics...

So I spent the last month completely revamping the art and went with a Modern Retro approach a la geometry wars and also have been polishing a bunch of other things along the way. So I am happy to announce the Zeke in Orbit (1.1) is officially out on the App Store!

I am doing this as a project for my graduate studies and so it would be really helpful any feedback I got from you as I trust the GS community very much, thanks!

    Love the movement mechanics. Love it. Had an idea for a similar but somewhat different movement mechanic and was thinking about how to accomplish. My game would be totally different. But since you already have this out, I'll probably scrap the idea unless I can think of a way to make the movement mechanic even more different from what you have done. I would never want to copy someone but at most be inspired by someone. FYI, your effort looks much more elegant than what I had going. Great job.

    The graphics are not my particular style, so it would be presumptuous for me to critique that and so I won't.

    @dotsonj interesting to hear you had a similar idea! Don't be opposed to trying it out, although it was a LOT of working getting the acceleration+space leash to work right...Thanks for the support! Just hit 250 in sales and am giving a post mortem at my local indie dev night this saturday (to 100+ gamers) so hopefully that will generate some interest as well.
