MR JABBS: Epic Waste Of Time is FINALLY here!
Check out the TRAILER below to see what the game is all about (contains new footage)!
DEVELOPER NOTE:
A massive amount of love went into this game. I tried my absolute hardest to deliver an experience unlike anything else you've seen before (in the genre). The game was designed to make you twitch, to make your heart race, to make you want to throw your device against the wall in frustration... and then want to come back for more.
At the same time, I wanted to make the user feel like they were a part of the insane Jabbs-ian Universe. So I created a Main Menu hub where you can just hang out and explore the completely odd world of Mr Jabbs. No fast paced gameplay. No reflex skills required. Just a quiet exploration of secrets and humorous findings. You'll get lost in a world filled with adorable oddities and behind the scenes content, that delves deep into the development of the game, and even gives the user tips & strategies to pull off a top score (which is pretty tough
The game was meant to be an endless stream of fast paced gameplay thrown at you. If you want to really be hardcore, go to SETTINGS and TURN OFF, "HELP POP UPS." You'll see what I mean- it makes the game intense (just the way it was intended to be).
FINAL NOTE:
- More crazy levels, experiences, characters and secrets are slated to arrive across the game's life cycle. Believe me, I have no shortage of bizarre ideas
- There are plans to make the game Universal. I appreciate your patience while I continue to work towards that goal.
- If you'd be so kind please leave a review in the App Store. You can be as honest as you want. And I welcome and encourage you all to please private message me with any further comments/suggestions/criticisms etc. I also want to thank all of you so much and the entire GS team for helping me make this dream come true You're all so phenomenally kind, generous, and knowledgeable!
I truly hope you love the experience! It's one that hopefully grows on you the more and more you play it.

I love that there are people walking in front of the cinema screen when you are trying to play ! lol !!
I need to up my skills so I can get a little further into the game, but so far so crazy !!!

Just downloading now, I have bought it as want to support your efforts and everything this stands for ... Will be back with my opinions after playing for a bit.
As for the game! Initial impressions ...
Cracking, random, bizarre, fun, stressful, tense, frustrating ... all that wrapped in one!
I wanted to explore the menu more but got frustrated at the changing of scenes! what would be great for me is if it remembered where I was e.g.
I'm in the 2nd room, go to GC, return and i'm back at the 1st screen! I then need to go back to the 2nd screen to carry on from where I left off.
Love the randomness of things popping up!
Its hard, very hard! haha
Found some interesting stuff which I wont reveal here as its a bit of a spoiler!
Soo much thought and effort has gone into this, its obvious
Well done and congrats man!
And damn! I think you just caused me to have a fit! There I was jumping and ducking away when all of a sudden the screen started flashing like mad! haha
In which case, I can see an awkward convo between us ...
So .. ummmm ... gonna get me a new iPhone?
No!
Hate you and your game! ... .... ... .... .... I need to play, give me your phone then!
hahaha
I've already written down your suggestion and will definitely implement it in future releases! Thanks again my friend! You've been so super helpful and generous!
@goliath hahaha thanks! I'll use it everywhere as you've requested. Remember the game is no longer $2,578.65- its just 99cents WOW-EE!!!!
@anatomyofdream Great job! I'll check it out for sure. I especially like how you are supported by my favorite magazine!
Best of luck with sales,

I am very impressed and it's one of these games where I don't know what to expect even when playing for a while. Great work, you should be proud and hope it goes well.
Love the fake review and a flawess game from my mom review haha loved. Seen that and I bought it with out reading the rest.

Anyhow, @anatomyofdreams - You should definitely enter this into the Game of the Month if you haven't already.

Quick side note. Just to be clear. If you're wondering why there isn't a sense of movement in the running levels, its because Jabbs isn't moving. He's running in place. He just picked a really crappy place to do it- because random objects keep getting hurled at him. It's supposed to be a joke that makes the game feel like a five year old made it. I've heard people talk about this though, so I probably need to reenforce that joke a bit better. Thanks
@socks I'm so happy you found the discounted price rewarding. You did in fact save $2,577.66 from the original price. I value my customers and understand the economic crisis that have affected us all. I hope you value the sacrifices I've made to give you such a discount. I'm not expecting you to erect a building in my honor, I'm just hoping you'll build my statue. Fair is fair. Make sure you make my statue's a** look smaller. Cheers!
@snapfirestudios it's so wonderful to hear another person love Fake Review Magazine. I always felt they never got the respect they deserved. I never quite understood why so many people never trusted their reviews?
@braydon_sfx that's no small achievement beating the final stage of the hat game. Be careful, if you ever lose at that it will actually erase your all time high score. It's a gamble. Thanks for the encouragement to enter this into game of the month. But I'm going to hold off until next month. There's hopefully some fun new additions I have planned, and would love to feature that for a future submission. Oh and also the competition is really good this month. I'd like to enter my game when all there is, is games like, "Angrier Birds" and "Trim the Rope" or "Where's my Purified Water." Ya know- shameless clone games. A lot of amazing games this month!
@fryingbaconstudios thanks for the kind words. Yeah I absolutely love Monty Python and humor that on the surface seems lowbrow/juvenile. I can't wait to see what you and @rp come up with. It's really freeing making something where you don't have to care what producers think, or corporations think. You can just make something that makes yourself laugh- and hope others will follow. I wish that for you as well
It's funny the idea for this game came to me when playing an endless runner game. Here you are running forever and collecting coins. I said to myself, why? And who left all of this money laying around? And why aren't the bad guys scrambling for it? It all felt like such a waste of time to me. So I thought I'd embrace that and say, I think I can make something even more of a waste of time
@honeytribestudios thanks for the kind words! And I'm even more pleased that you found the secret/subtle hidden aspects of the game rewarding. That was my goal. Here you have this frenetic, fast paced, insane game- and on the other end, you have this completely calm, explore what you want, care free environment. I really wanted that balance. It's why I chose a fireplace for the menu. Your heart races during gameplay and then you're taken back to this calm place where you can just relax. But it was also equally important that both aspects of the game (the fast paced and the relaxation) stayed on the theme of completely wasting your time
@thegabfather happy you like it my friend!
