    Thanks, although Apple review did not like the look and rejected v1.3 because they said the game uses Nintendo images. All art was created from scratch by myself so I guess they mean it looks too near a real Gameboy.

    While I contact Apple Resolution Center grab "GameGuy" free for a few hours :)

    We have a near identical controller for iPad resolution that can easily be resized at http://boygeniusstudios.weebly.com/app-design-marketplace.html
    Message me if you would like to use it for free to get rid of the similarity issues.

    Tried 3 times to update to 1.3 but Apple are rejecting for likeness to GameBoy. So have completely redesigned the UI & buttons, added Speed Run mode and coloured all 21 levels, resubmitted all leaderboards & achievements. After three days in review GameGuy Color Edition is now available.

    I don't know about anyone else but the way your heading..... I am going to wait for the GameGuy Wii or GameGuy 3DS.
    Looks very cool and Reminds me when I first got my gameboy. Good luck :)

    Thanks Alembic, really happy with the level colors and the new machine design. Just realised though the Jump button looks a bit Star Treky :)

    @ParkGames - It does look a bit Trekky but I like that! Besides, Star Trek didn't exactly invent the 'up' arrow :D

    I absolutely love it's look, especially how you made it look like it you were playing on an old gameboy. The only problem I think was that it's images were too similar to the super mario bros images, which I can see apple rejected it because of that, be careful not to make them too close to the mario images, even if they were made from scratch, the cloud and ground texture looked almost exactly like the super mario bros textures.

    Having trouble with your game? Sounds like a personal problem.

    Great job on color! The left/right movement keys are too close together for my monkey thumbs, unfortunately. Too bad about the 4bit version, that looks really nice.

    The dpad size is small because it was all drawn to scale as GameGuy originally was just a fun app and was not going to be playable. But once the dpad was animated and working I thought it would be fun to get a little platformer running. To offset the small size of the dpad the left & right collide actors are a lot bigger.
