edited December 2011 in Announce Your Game!
Hi GS community! Some may remember me (I hope) … I had to take a self-imposed ban from the forums as I realized I would never actually finish a game (regular job, kids and having too much fun in the forums). So something had to give and I was able to use any spare time I had to get out my first game.

A giant big thanks to all of you here in this great community, without your help, videos, templates, questions and answers this wouldn't have been possible and also thanks to the GS team for the software.

That said I proudly announce AstroballBlaster for iPad and Astroball Blast for iPhone. (Based on TSB's awesome ball mechanic templates!)

"4 fun game mechanics in one great App! 80 challenging levels all with beautiful graphics perfect for the quick pick-up game or best-score session. Easy-to-master game play will have you started in seconds ... gradually increasing difficulty will keep you in the fun. Excellent for adults and kids .. it's a casual gamer's perfect App!"

I have learnt a lot getting this app out, I had to implement a scoring system, Area and Level unlocking, saving scores, music and sound and images. My hats go off to you guys that have numerous titles out … it's a lot of work!

In appreciation of the community here I have created some freebies to give away! Follow the link below to our website and you will find a UI Image pack, grid images, and a few GS project files that I hope some of you might find useful. Sorry can't help the 'pros' here but perhaps the best I can do is to keep passing the goodwill along.

Lastly I would greatly appreciate if anyone would purchase our game and provide a review. If you let me know that you have and you have a game I can buy from you I will to return the favor. (Unfortunately promo codes don't allow for reviews/comments).

Thanks again,

simo103

    Hi Simo103,
    The game looks great!
    I believe promos will work if you redeem in the itunes store.
    I did it for Penguin Glide and it worked.

    So, if you want, send me a promo and ill leave a review!

    MotherHoose, are you sure?
    I just did it two days ago lol.

    EDIT: unless they changed it in two days...
  • MotherHooseMotherHoose Member Posts: 2,456
    @Braydon … no! I am NOT sure ;( I tried about 2-3 weeks ago and got a can't do …
    though, that game and review attempt were on my desktop
    think someone mentioned that you could do on the device if purchased on computer … and vice-versa

    as you have a Promo, would you √ this for me? most curious …

    lucky me got 2 big amount gift cards for my birthday; I enjoy being able to purchase games from GS developers
    that look like fun, hard work, and intriguing … AstroBall fulfilled that criteria!

    If anyone can verify if (and then how) someone can leave reviews based on getting a promo code please post here (I tried searching the forum .. :( no luck). Would be happy to give out codes if it's possible. thx.

    .. forgot to mention in the main text ... I purchased four music soundtracks (one for each area) from http://luckylionstudios.com/ for a great price and great service from Andrew over there.

    Hate to say it but, your buttons in the freebies section (http://funkymunkygames.com/free.html)
    Look very similar to TSB'S buttons that he charges for (http://gshelper.com/?p=307)
    Just with different fonts

    Anyway..
    Congrats on your new game!,

    You can leave a review with a promo code. You have to do it from a computer though, it won't work from a device.

    @Leonard

    they actually appear to be quite different. TSB does not have a trademark on yellow with white letters. thats all that is the same, the Colors.
  • simo103simo103 Member, PRO Posts: 1,331
    @Leonard ... yikes didn't know TSB was selling those ... I did learn from his Video on how to make the buttons though ... was just trying to help those who might be artistically challenged ... even with the videos. I'll sent TSB an email just so he's not blindsided. Thanks for the 'congrats'!

    @tendrmer
    "TSB does not have a trademark on yellow with white letters." I never said he did and its not the color or look its the shape, outline and even the shadow and "glisten" is the same
