Release in App Store « Ball and Peaks"

feroman

Hi all!
I created my first game for iPhone, is called "Ball and Peaks".
This is a basic game for my first creation.
I use gamesalad recently, after this game, another game would be available soon.
The objective of the game:
Avoid the ball hits the peaks.
Tap the ball, the ball must touch the walls to get a score (1 point per collision against the walls). If the ball touches the peaks, you lose.
Get the highest score possible.
It is for you.

Balls and peaks? Interesting choice of names there. Sure, I'll give it a spin. FXAX9T3LNPTM taken, thanks.

It's a pretty simple game, but I think you could improve it in a couple of ways:
(1) Does the ball just have a rule that says When touch is pressed [move in one of four random directions]? It would be great if either you could swipe to control the direction or when you tapped it would only go up and continue it's sideways velocity.
(2) Increase the gravity. A soccer ball shouldn't float back and forth for such a long time. It would be more of a challenge if you had to react against gravity.

I like the title screen graphics. The font you chose for your scoring doesn't look good. Maybe use Futura or something else, or better yet use a custom font to display text.

The Select Level screen is really cluttered on an iPhone. The fonts are way too small to read easily. And I don't really understand what Score Lv 2 x 7 means for level 3. I also don't think you need to include the word "highscore" under every level button.

I appreciate your remarks, I will modify the games in a next version, which would free version.

I'm working on another game, that would be available soon on App Store.

Congratulations on getting a game in iTunes. All the hard work paid off. The only thing(s) I would like seeing is an instruction page and maybe a Youtube video of the game play. Screen-casting isn't always the easiest thing to do though.

cheers,

I'm trying to kick out another one in the next few days myself. I read somewhere that the best thing to do is get 10 games out in a hurry (individual devs.).

If you are using OS X Lion, the built-in QuickTime Player works pretty well as it can record a portion of the screen, such as the GS Preview window. There are other free options as well, such as http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html and http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
