'10 Balls 7 Cups' Trailer Worth $0.99 Alone

posted March 13th, 2009 2:05 PM EDT by arn in $0.99, iPhone games, iPod touch games, Simulation

   

Many iPhone developers seem to just submit their game to the App Store, sit back and wait for some "magic" to happen. Not Graveck Interactive. They put some effort into a wonderfully entertaining trailer for their skeeball game 10 Balls 7 Cups [App Store].

In fact, the trailer alone might be worth the price of entry for this $0.99 game.

The game offers a nicely polished skee-ball experience complete with tickets and redemption for various prizes. The current version of the game is very good, and we think it could be great.

We agree with some of the opinions in our forums that we would like to actually see photos of the prizes we've won rather than just the names. Still... it's $0.99 and hey, free taco.

    As silly as this game looks - it actually has the best physics of the 3 skee ball games i have. (or the most fun...)

  • Big Albie

    The trailer deserves a TouchArcade award or at least deserves consideration.

  • Peter Cohen

    The trailer is pretty obviously inspired by the fake ads for "PowerThirst" that have been on YouTube for a while, but I applaud their verve regardless.

    Also they were inspired by a certain two girls and their one cup.

    Oh MAN I want a rope bracelet SO BAD now!

    Fantastic ad! Hilarious. I'm still chuckling about the taco (and ALMOST free).

    I love Taco's.

    As far as I am concerned, I am paying 99 cents for a taco, and getting a free skee ball game!

    @Barry

    Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the title.

    Woah, hey Touch Arcade!

    Yeah I agree about the images of the prizes things, but having images for hundreds of prizes would be really hard (memory management wise... long story) and costly so it was either not have the store or have it in its current state. Maybe we can still do something about it for an update... I'd really love it too. And apparently try and tweak the ball flicking a bit more... but then of course we risk upsetting those who got used to it. I'm personally more of a fan of the accelerometer controls I think. (Hold your thumb on the screen and gesture a underhand toss while hanging on tight to your phone)

  • nuttyturnip

    I can understand the issue with having images, but maybe the prizes you've won could at least be organized into categories (normal, rare, epic).

  • Steve

    I agree with nutty, there should definitely be some kind of categorization for your prizes. It'd be cool if you could have access to a list of the rare and epic stuff, so you could try and collect them all :)

    LOVE THIS GAME!!!

    I was in 3 place yesterday :) but now im in 7th :,(

    P.S. Pm me for screen shots

  • http://www.graveck.com Graveck Jon

    I'll see what I can do for an update then, if sales are reasonable enough to continue development. (I hope so!)

    Regarding the high score places... yeah, last I looked 1st place was over 16,000 tickets!?

  • Raphael Salgado

    Awesome trailer. You earned your 99 cents right there. :)

  • Candy

    My goodness this game is fun. You would be crazy not to get it :P :)

  • Omnithrope

    I want a taco now.

    great game.. BUT - the scoring should give more tickets for 500 - 1000 - 2000 games since right now, just playing fast has no drawback in the effort to rack up tickets.

    if you are playing super fast blitz you get the same amount of tickets for say, 10 300 point games as someone who goes slow and gets 2 1,500 point games. But the guy going fast can get lucky and grab 2,000+ games as well so why bother playing slow ?

    since I been playing fast I have stormed up the ranks - I KNOW I can get high score if I keep playing this way. Which shouldn't be the case

    i know it is all just for fun - but just saying, my highest one game score now is 2,560 and I got that during my speed runs of blitzing the corner over and over and over

    i bet the top rankers are all doing this method
