edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!


So this is the new game I've been working on, I'm sorry about the video quality (not quite sure why it turned out so bad?) Anyways the point of the game is to collect all the stars. It has an Angry Birds type start where you press the rocket then choose the direction, however in Test Launch you actually steer the rocket by tapping on the left/right halves of the iPhone screen. It works really well on my iPhone and runs very smooth (most of the time).

I'm hoping to release it on September 24, 2011 for 0.99$.

Please take a look and I'll be posting more on this thread when everything is ready to go (and hopefully a better video! haha)

Thanks guys,
aario

    That's an interesting idea - I like the way you have to avoid your own trail :)

    QS :D

    Thanks! And about the art I made some and I bought some and most of the art I bought I modified so its a mixture really. Also I picked up tshirtbooth Artpack he has for sale. It worked really well and the style I felt fit my game perfectly :)

    As the gameplay looks I will deffinetly give a good word for this to my friends! After you have published to app store, you could cut down the template a bit and sell it. This is a very cool and nice template. I would definetly buy it.

    @Alex

    Thanks alot i'm crossing my fingers :)

    @PLStudio

    Not sure about the whole template thing as I want my game to be unique as I havent seen any other ones with quite the same concept. As for the promo codes ill definitely save one for ya :)
    I'm gonna do them as a you email me, you get a promo code type deal so its primarily users here that will get them
  • BreckenBrecken Member Posts: 143

    @uptimistik

    I understand and appreciate your criticism. Please note the gameplay on the device is much better then the HTML version also I noticed the HTML version has graphics issues especially with the fuel meter ..these do not happen in the iPhone version.

    Now about the trail. I agree some of them are hard to navigate because a tree may be close at the start (which im assuming is what you are referring to) but keep in mind I have personally tested every level and made it in 1, 2, and 3 shots so it is possible the point of the crashing into the trail is to make the gamer have to plan out his/her shots ..however I do agree it can get very frustrating :) ..but for me anyways when a game frustrates me it makes me even more determined to beat it (then yell and scream when i do haha).

    Anyways I hope you dont take my response as me trying to bash your opinion or anything like that as I respect everyones opinions on these forums, were all here cause we are trying to make great games and enjoy doing so. I thank you for your comments and I really appreciate the time you spent.

    Thanks,
    Aaron
