Quantum Sheep presents 'Air Supply SOS (Save Our Sheep)' :)
Hello all!
Well, the latest Sheepy game is out! I spent four years on and off to make this!
Unfortunately, Game Center isn’t working with it at the moment (I’m sure that’s my fault!) but I’ll be looking to fix that soon!
The game’s universal and will work on an iPhone 4 and up and an iPad one or better - I don’t think it’ll work on the older iPod Touches - sorry!
It’s $1.99 on the app store and you can find it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-supply-sos-save-our-sheep/id794916361?mt=8
Air Supply - SOS (Save Our Sheep)
Here’s some blurb for you:
The Mothersheep needs your help!
The Time Travel Clothing Company is stealing wool from kidnapped Quantum Sheep! The Mothersheep is sending out an SOS to any hero willing to undertake the challenge - ’Save Our Sheep’!
Fly around with your jetpack rescuing sheep and putting them in your rocket! Aliens, UFOs, Bosses and a multitude of other hazards are out to stop you and don’t forget to keep an eye on your dwindling Air Supply!
- 10 monochrome colours (red, white, blue etc) plus new ‘Living Colour’ mode.
- Over 20 awesome characters to unlock!
- 10 Planets to play through - 100 levels in total!
- 11 amazing retro music tracks - all made on actual ZX Spectrums
- 16 perks - choose two to take into battle, including rocket, shield and air supply enhancements!
- Rescue sheep to unlock special perks!
- Collect stars, air and kills to unlock characters, music and colours!
- Battle big UFOs and huge bosses!
- Over 40 different alien enemies!
- Bonus Space stages - fly your spaceship against UFOs and asteroids
- Multiple options to customise the look and feel of the game! Over 18 million combinations!
- Inspired by the classic retro game ‘Jetpac’ on the ZX Spectrum!
- Wonderfully bereft of IAP or adverts!

I’ve got some pretty good press from the likes of TouchArcade and Appspy thus far which is just awesome - the latter thanks to a mention by @polygame - here’s a ‘hands on’ vid:
And here’s the first review!

I wanted to thank @socks for the inspiration behind the space sections, @tatiang for some text scrolling help and a bunch of other people for encouragement and support - thank you!
Quite a few artists helped with the game too over its gestation. I’d like to thank them all, especially MisterFunkleberry, who I miss every day
I had some cool testers too - thanks for your input while I made the game. You helped make it better than it was! That’s a good thing!
Also, thanks to the GameSalad team - it can be pretty hard going sometimes, but you can make some fun stuff with this software!
Hope you like it!

This game is awesomeballs. Finally got off level 8 My twitch gameplay skills had gotten a bit rusty in recent years, with all the casual stuff about. Haha.
Congrats on releasing, man! I know you've had some ups and downs but you stuck in there and made one HELL OF A GAME!
May it make you "One meeeeeellion dollars"
I'll be purchasing tonight!!

Looks great will pick it up later, any thoughts on doing a bundle with the other air supply games?

Many thanks! That's very kind!
Dude. There are 100 levels!
Get a move on!
It's personally the most important thing I've ever made I think. The 'meeeellion' dollars would be lovely, but it's not as important as what this game means to me!
Thanks!
No bundle plans till I make a fourth one. Then I'll put them all into The Air Supply Trilogy bundle.
Just channelling some Douglas Adams there
Thanks for checking the game out everyone! Means a lot

I know, I suck! But TBH, I don't want to get too far in... I'm waiting until I reactivate my iTunes account (stupid account always being out of money - lol), so I can buy it and play that version, rather than the test version I have So I might as well wait or I'll have to start over! Haha.
Fourth one? Trilogy? Am I missing something here, like a Sci-Fi reference?

@polygame has the right idea
The first sentence of this wiki entry should help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Long,_and_Thanks_for_All_the_Fish

I believe they update the featured games on Tuesdays, so they should do.
Great stuff me ol' bean!
Thanks! You could actually play as a Quantum Sheep in Air Supply - Infinite
I think they change on Thursdays!
Thanks!
Apparently there might be a TA review next week, so that'll be fun.
I'd much rather talk about the gameplay/features though if anyone's played it
Cheers!

Saw this game on the featured bit subcategorys , looking good !
Love the music
Phew! I'm not very good at fighting.
Played a bit on my iPad, the controls are great, very responsive.

Thanks - they were the first thing to get 'right' before moving on to the main course!
What do you think of the thrust/fire button being just one button? That was actually based off some feedback (about two years ago!) by @JGary321
There were originally 2 buttons - 1 for thrust, one for fire, which is kinda 'standard'.
But I changed it to one, and it's one of those innovations that as a designer you can be really proud of, but no-one notices!
Thanks for trying the game

I personally think it's great. It changes the strategy up a bit from the standard controls for sure, and even though it's less buttons, it doesn't make it easier necessarily. Just more streamlined.
