Thanks for the feedback everyone! We've been very busy and have made huge amounts of progress in the past few days!

Huge thanks to TouchArcade for the news.

Well most games from EA feel like they were developed in 30 days so these guys can't do any worse.
Let's hope they price it accordingly.

Genius marketing ploy. Come on, this wouldn't be covered without it. Genius. I will be buying this now.

I don't mind the gimmick–just so long as the game is priced fairly for the way it ships! Whether that's free or $5 or whatever. Then the price could go up as the game improves further.

And I do think a truly good game COULD be made in 30 days. Unusual, yes–impossible, no. My game (not for iPhone, but using the same tools) took two weeks to program, and to design 3 levels–including 3D modeling, sound effects and music. I could have made a lot more levels within 30 days. It would have had some rough edges, but it would have been pretty good even so. (Of course I'd also have to have quit my day job… which is why the game is still not completed.)

Bollocks, finish the game, don't set a hard date of 30 days. These "timed" projects only work in the "indie" scene because they're normally released for free. If you're going to ask people to pay for it, make sure you finish it, and not put a "30 day game" gimmick.

This is a must-buy for me. The pixel-art is amazing, I'd like to learn from whoever made them

What happened to that Worms-like game they said they were going to make?

"Progress on the game's development can be seen on its official launch site where the developer indicates a $1,000 prize will be offered to the first person who completes the game."

Say wha…?!

30 days… how much of a game can we expect in 30 days?
