App of the Month October

Greetings Community!
Time to showcase the amazing talents of our community again for App of the Month October!
Just some reminders about how it works:
Each month for a two week time period, I will open a “sticky” forum thread for submissions. And the end of the month, the GameSalad team will choose its favorite and announce the winner within the first week of the next month.
We will contact the winner via email within the last week of each month. Each winner will be asked to complete a Developer questionnaire. I will use this information to create a developer bio and to craft a blog post that promotes your awesomeness!
We will feature the Game of the Month in dedicated Facebook, Twitter, and GameSalad.com blog posts. We would also like to feature a “Lite” version of the app in a dedicated area of GameSalad Arcade. Because of this, we prefer that you have a “Lite” version of your app ready to upload into Arcade if chosen. If not possible (your game uses accelerometer controls, multi-touch, or is larger than 150 MB), your game can still be considered for App of the Month.
The Ground Rules:
Submission:
Apps must be posted within the sticky thread in order for it to be considered
You can submit your app for multiple months (for example: you release updates and would like the game to be reconsidered)
We prefer that you submit with a Youtube video of gameplay/trailer
Contacting the Winner:
In order to be featured, winners will have one week to submit answers to a questionnaire (for us to compile a featured bio).
Preference (if applicable): App has a “Lite” version ready for Arcade upload
Let the submissions begin!

His Adventure
It recently went free for the weekend and was the #1 Free App in France #3 in Belgium and in the top 10 and top 100 for many others.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/his-adventure/id448738557?ls=1&mt=8
iTunes Description:
***#1 App in France***
***Over 200,000 People Addicted So Far!***
"His Adventure is a simple game that is simply awesome, and easily recommendable to anyone." Matthew Vella, Capsule Computers (8.5/10)
"Fun, challenging and rather clever: ‘Lemmings meets Super Meat Boy’" John, Arcade Life
He's lost and has to get home. He can't do it alone and needs your help. Take control of the platform and guide him though over 70 unique and challenging levels.
Help him collect all 216 stars by using switches, avoiding saws, balancing over lava and being thrown into the dark.
His Adventure combines cute hand drawn art with accurate and precise touch controls. Control the platform by simply moving your finger on the screen. Your task is not that simple, be sure he avoids the moving saws and obstacles whilst collecting as many stars as possible. You're going to have you use your precision to get them all- be quick, some of these stars don't hang round forever!
Easy to learn and intuitive to play, His Adventure is hard to put down and can be played by anyone. Packed with 4 worlds with new game mechanics, challenging stars to collect and obstacles to avoid. Can you make it to the end?
Can you collect more stars than your friends? With game center leader boards you can find out.
Arcade publishing still doesn't work for this project and the Gs team said they are working to resolve the issue for me.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sweepr/id428793801?mt=8&ls=1
How to play: The player’s finger must contact the screen within two seconds. If the player lifts their finger after that then the game is over.
Avoid Sweeprs (of course), Fireballs (red), Meteor Bombs (white) and Bees (yellow).
Collect Stars, Butterflies and Spacecows. Five stars gives a shield.
Thunder Ball pinball is an funny - enjoyable game on iphone and ipod.
Beating your own high-score is not as easy as you might think.
Go back to school to become better player.
* Winning many balls is easy, but dangerous at the same time, so be square
* Tilting the ball is a really funny future, but should be used cautiously *-)
* Be aware of the red skull it may leave you out of balls
* Full documentation on how to gain more points
You can control the outcome of the scan. Read the How to page to find out how.
It has been designed to look similar to standard iOS utility App

Its your turn at the gun and you are our last hope. An experimental weapon called the 'absorber' will be launched from the surface of the moon, so keep an eye out for it. Good luck soldier.
*GameCenter Leaderboard
*Retina Graphics
*MultiTouch
*Addictive Gameplay
*Very Easy to Learn, Yet very Challenging to get the high score
Alpha Balls is a mix of Planetary Defense and Physics. This game is a great time killer and intense fun all in one. Simply touch the screen for a rapid fire or touch with a second finger to fire a larger shot to help with the larger enemy Alpha Balls. Survive as long as you can and dominate the Worldwide Leader-board.

--Game Description--
Do you enjoy explosions, rockets and overall awesome things? Have you always wanted to fly your own rocket but never could? Well now you can! In this one-of-a-kind game for the iPhone/iPod Touch, Test Launch!
In this AppStore first you actually take control of your rocket as you try to collect all the stars from each level! Sounds easy right? Think again! There are tons of obstacles blocking your path to Rocket Control Super Stardom! Things like:
•Your own path (that’s right no doing the same thing twice here, you actually have to be creative!)
•Trees (Rockets don’t like those …try and avoid)
•Treacherous Underwater Currents (Fun until they plow you into the edge of the screen)
•Underwater mines (At least they don’t explode…)
•Gravity (Not a bad thing until it smacks you into the face of a planet)
That list may sound scary but don’t let it distract you from the 3 awesome worlds and 60 very challenging levels you have in front of you.
**Test Launch Features**
•Touch and Drag Launching
•Intuitive Touch Steering (ex. Touch right half of screen → Turn right)
•Fuel Dependant Speed (The more fuel you have, see top left corner, the faster you go)
•Smooth Gameplay
•Simple (Easy to pick up and play, hard to master)
•For All Ages
•Simple Graphics
•Hours of Fun
•Lots of Replay Value
Use logic, strategy, technique and finesse to crush all 60 challenging levels and reach Rocket Control Super Stardom!
This story is mostly for my Prequel....
Aliens have invaded the planet and almost decimated mankind. The Cows and Bulls of Earth have started defending the planet Earth, to the shock of mankind
-Has different levels of difficulty with both touch based targeting and by tilting the mobile device.
-Shot as many as you can as fast as you can. The faster you destroy the ships the more points you receive. Survive till time runs out and Win!

In Hungry Piranha you need to survive as long as possible to achieve high scores. You swim through the ocean snatching prey while mines and torpedos try to make your life miserable. Luckily you don’t have to dodge them all, special attacks can make your rampage a lot easier.
Features:
-5 different prey to snatch
-4 upgradable special attacks
-Collectable gold
-2 unique shops for your collected gold
-Retina display support
-Gamecenter leaderboards
Story of the Hungry Piranha:
Because of a failed human experiment, an ordinary piranha (you) changed into a supernatural piranha with everlasting hunger.
Somehow you broke free to the ocean. Because you can potentially eat all existing ocean life, you're a threat to the fishing economy, so the military try to take you out when you are on your rampage.
Hungry Piranha is a great game to kill some time.
Hope I can still participate!
Cheers,
