Thanks everyone for the continued love for 1-bit Ninja! I'm putting the finishing touches to the game and will be posting a new video on Monday. To answer the most frequently asked questions: How much? $1.99 When? June 2nd I'm aiming at a Thursday release, this will bump the release date to June 2nd. Yes, technically not end of May but about as close as you can get. Yes, iPod/other music will play in the background while maintaining sound effects.
This game is going to be pure awesomeness. Can you post some more screenies, the icon, and any new videos. Simply cannot wait.
I'm posting a new video on Monday but since you asked and it's raptor day, here's an indev replay video of 2-4. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
There's 4 worlds with 5 levels a piece. Each level has 5 hidden/tough to reach 'big bits' essentially specific challenges within each level. Collecting all 5 big bits unlocks free-camera and optional perspective-mode.
sweet, can't wait for it to hit the appstore, will be an INSTANT purchase from me! ** The new vid looks great!!! WOOHOO!!!
The 3d effect looks really good. Not usually a fan of platform games but this looks pretty interesting. How about doing a slant on the Wonderboy 3 for your next game? That was the best Master System game...
Love that free-look in the replays. Level design looks great from all the vids. Looking forward to trying it out, 1.99 is as good as it gets for a game like this.
Dear Ben, Your game and the control mechanics look brilliant and I am eagerly anticipating the release date so that I can finally play it. I purchase iphone games fairly regularly and am just as frequently disappointed though I do occasionally encounter a gem generally thanks to the expert team of reviewers here at touch arcade. Based upon your description and the gameplay videos that you have provided, 1-bit Ninja looks as though it will prove to be one of these rare gems. Thank you for your efforts and also for taking the time to communicate with with your potential customer base here on the forums. Sincerely, retr0spective
Following up on the post two before mine, I also have to thank you for being such an open, providing developer. Because really, there aren't too many developers who do that. So, that said I'm still very much looking forward to the game's release in NZ tomorrow and worldwide everywhere else!
yeah... gonna be an instant buy when it hits the appstore... I might just end up staying up so I can get it RIGHT when it shows up!!! =oD to clear things up... is it being released tomorrow in the US appstore, or the 2nd? I thought it was the 2nd... =o/
