I can’t say how excited we are that a game we designed won this award. It was a pleasure to work on, and a pleasure to work with ngmoco yet again.

From http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/ada/

Topple 2 is an ideal model for excellent iPhone game and game sequel design, technology adoption, performance, connectedness, and localization.

Topple 2 combines the features of multitouch and the accelerometer to create a game about stacking blocks and keeping them from toppling over. Local WiFi multiplayer mode enables game play between two players, and a challenge mode where recorded sessions can be sent to others players via email, twitter or facebook. Localized for English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, Topple 2 uses multiple iPhone SDK technologies including UIKit, OpenGL ES, Bonjour, CFNetwork, Multi-Touch, Accelerometer, Email, and Twitter and Facebook integration.

We’ve decided to go ahead and drop the price on our first iPhone game, Line Shift in celebration of the new year. Dropped to only $0.99 we hope many more people will get a chance to experience and enjoy Line Shift as we here at the muteki corporation move into 2009 with many more games to come.

In all of the feedback on MazeFinger, some suggestions have on how we can improve the game have come up repeatedly.  The most frequent suggestions have been:

  • A save game mechanism
  • Use the ringer switch setting to mute the game
  • Update the saved high score as you play

I’m happy to announce that all of these things are in an updated build that has been submitted to Apple.  Hopefully it’ll get pushed out to all of you soon.  Enjoy, and keep the great suggestions coming!

It’s simultaneously the most exciting and nerve-wracking time you can have as a game developer.

I’m speaking, of course, of that moment when your game is first available to the public.  What will the world really think about what you’ve made?  The publisher is happy, friends and family have all raved about it, and you still like it even after staring at it for hours while you push to squash the last bugs before shipping.  Those points all give you hope, but none of it matters until the public gets ahold of it.  They might decide that it’s missing a key feature, or that it isn’t as fun as you think it is, or that it’s just “meh.”
