edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
Seth's Apps now has a Million Tap Challenge. Please watch the video and sign up at www.sethsapps.com/milliontaps This is a simple concept game salad game where all you have to do is tap to remove bubbles before they reach the other side of the screen. However, they get smaller and faster. You will have a permanent score called your ALL TIME score and this score will grow and grow throughout your gameplay. Each time you get points it will add it on to the All Time Score. The fun part is the challenge we are holding. It is a race to see who can get 1,000,000 All Time Taps and the price will be BIG! We are looking forward to seeing you sign up and send us screenshots once the app comes out on the app store soon.

There will be a few versions. The first probably .99 cents will get you the game and the other versions will start you out at a certain number of points but for a bigger price. Please support us by signing up so that we can notify you when the app is released! Happy gaming! See you at the finish line...

    cool idea, hope it takes off... could get some media interest for sure... with the right prize.

    The trailer .... I see what your going for, needs a bit more drama, maybe some actual game play shots....

    and the end needs a cool tv jitter effect on it to go with the music.

    Happily make one for you for like £150... :-) ....for an adaptation of the project I used for quake builder, but add some tv distortion effects to make it seem more edgy...



    cheeky I know, but the offers there...

    What do you think the prize should be for 1 million taps. The game concept is so simple that I knew I had to make it have something very big! You basically just tap the bubbles and get points and then the high scores will be recorded for all who send in their screenshots of how far theyve gotten. 1 Million taps will take a bit of time so I want the prize to be worth going for what do you think would be a great prize.

    Also Im planning on putting out 2 or 3 different versions, for example 1 version starts the player with 100,000 taps already and the next 200,000 and then the same for 3. I would like some opinions on what the prices should be. By the way you would have to play about 500-600 times to get 100,000 on a beginners level (less times for higher scores each time). I was thinking 500 times playing a game is worth a lot of money so what do you think the amount should be for a 100,000 tap advantage?

    PLEASE RESPOND ASAP I NEED TO GET THIS APP IN! THANKS TO ALL! Promo codes will come in a few days!

    Prize of an ipad should get people buying...

    then maybe
    $5 for one with 100,000 already done
    $10 for one with 200,000 already done,
    $25 for one with 500,000 done...

    Obviously you'd want to get enough sales to cover the cost of an ipad, but not impossible...

    Only thing would be how do you verify they've got a million. Not just a screen shot (as you'd get people faking it)...you'd have to have a secret word that can be shown which proves its been done. i.e. complete 1 million touches and you get the words

    'AFRICAN SWALLOW FLYS SOUTH FOR WINTER'

    also have to make sure it can't be done by a jail broken phone...which might hack the game and cheat.

    Make sure they've properly played the game, Maybe have it so, when they reach 10,000 they get the first word, another word at 100,000, another at 500,000 etc etc...

    I havent thought about progressively giving them the words but I have solved one problem, I went ahead and added a graphic to the screen when the winner reaches 1,000,000. Plus the color of the trophy changes per time that the score reaches each preset mark I have. Those are 2 ways and as for the jailbreak do you know if games are possible to getting variables changed through jailbroken iphones when a game is made with gamesalad. I haven't tested it on a jailbroken device but that is something that definitely needs to be addressed.
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    Not 100% sure if jail breaking and then changing the variables is possible.

    I figured that's how some people had achieved a million on the score board for Doodle Jump. But maybe that's just me being annoyed that I can't beat 38,000 .

    I know GameSalad games have been hacked in the past.
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    Haha yea I know Im only getting up to about 42,000 but Ill check into it. Maybe I could have all of the words as separate actors so that no one could read the text files it creates because they wouldnt be in order. Any other suggestions to eliminate cheaters?
  • SethsAppsSethsApps Member, PRO Posts: 328
    I have almost perfected the game to assure no cheaters will be able to mod the game to get 1 million taps. Need people that would be willing to spread the word of this app and download it! I think the prize will either be an ipod touch, ipad, or maybe even a mac depending on how many people bought the app. What do you think of the prizes? Any more prize suggestions?
