    Is the gameplay really that basic? To be honest, doesn't look like much. But hey, good luck!

    Hey, QS, the idea seems alwhite to me... :-)

    If Vulture Swoop doesn't take off... (take off... get it?) you could always try Bappy Bird, a bird that has to avoid baps, and....giant buns...

    OK, maybe not.

    I especially like that you managed to use the new custom frog feature :)

    Thank you all for your comments!

    Unfortunately I've made as much money with this as anyone else here making a clone it seems!

    Hey-ho!

    Too complex, simplify it a little.

    I *knew* I should have left out the custom frogs...

    It's not a bug, it's the masterfully orchestrated invisibility mode where you tap the screen and the game work it's magic hidden away from simple non-worthy human eyes. Therefore it's not a bug but a feature! @quantumsheep you should stand by your original design choice, it's great :P

    I just cloned and published this. Sorry, but you shoulda kept this under wraps.

    A bit to late though, there are already at least 40 clones of quantumsheeps masterpiece out there and a couple of them even has the invisibility mode as an optional setting. They have it all covered.

    Bad news, @quantumsheep...

    @tatiang Vulture Swoop is safe. It doesn't have the word flappy in it

    Not anymore, Apple realized that there would be an upcoming swarm of "Vulture Swoop" clones and has now banned everything in the world with the words "Vulture" and "Swoop" in it (as proven by tatiang's screenshot). Soon quantumsheep will feel the pressure of his great achievement of a game and pull it from the store, the pressure.. ohh, the pressure. Don't fear though, you will be able to find his game on an ebay phone near you for half a million.

    Most at risk:

    @tatiang

    Oh I *wish* I could get a fake review/feature on Crazy Mike's site! It's my dream!

    But alas, this dream was not meant to be. I'm sorry to say, I'm removing Vulture Swoop from the app store due to personal reasons.

    Basically, I stared into its soul... and saw... nothing... :(

    Sorry all - good luck everyone with their swoopy clones!

    QS =D

    It's understandable, @quantumsheep. Lack of success can really get to a person. ;)
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Amazing how this thread gets more responses than a game I'm *actually* working on! :D

    @quantumsheep well it was a fun initiative from your side.. :)

    (I like the style of your "Air Supply" btw)

    You mean FLAP Supply, right?

    Or is it Air Flap?

    :D

    Yes, of course ;)

    Lol If App Store is banning all clones, GS should do the same! STOP users creating clones!
    Cloning is immoral. Think of all those vulture clones. How would they feel, being themselves yet not themselves!?
