    haha yeah, gotta pay attention to those exams! :) (we are actually all three in our exam periods as well :) )

    We have discussed poweups a lot, and for now its limited to time.
    For version 1.0 we are sticking with no power ups, but it is something we are looking into for the first or second update for the game.

    More maps are first priority and from there on we are very open to suggestions :)

    beta update

    Hi guys I am back with an update of the beta progress so far.

    We have been in beta for about one and a half weeks now and we are seeing a lot of progress. According to feedback we have tweaked the difficulty on certain levels and we are still looking in to making the score screen easier to understand and more clear in its appearance.
    We also made the joystick alot smaller when the game runs on the iPad.

    Through the testing we have come to the realization that the game does not run very well on the 2nd Gen iPod. We have tried our best to make it run smoother, but we cant maket it run smooth enough without taking away too much of what makes the game beautiful and fun. For that reason we have decided not to support the 2nd Gen iPod with this game. Its regredable and we give a big thanks to the patient people who kept helping us test on the device.

    Another big thanks goes out to the people on all other devices who have helped and are still helping us test the game.
    The feedback on the gameplay and the game in total has been overwhelmingly positive and if all goes well (and I think it will :) ) we plan to submit the game for review sometime next week.

    In the meantime, keep posting and keep testing :)

    Thanks inju! :) as of now we are shooting for a tuesday release actually, mostly because of our exams (we are all students), but it really comes down to when the game will be approved, we might end up going for thursday if it fits in :)

    Thanks J! we hope it will do well too :D

    Your support and willingness to help spread the word of this game really means a lot to us and we really appreciate it, we are an indie startup with no budget, so you guys make all the difference!

    Haha, no prob. I hope you make a huge profit! I will try to spread the word of this game when it comes out. Btw, I suggest releasing this on tuesday because of so many games getting released on thursday so if you release it on tuesday, you might get more sales. Plus, someone should make a thread about this game on TA when its released to get more publicity. :D good luck with your finals (I have finals as well...) and the release of up to the top!
