Sweet! Looking forward to this hitting the App Store! First game was great fun and challenging. This one will knock the socks off looks like!
Thanks. I found him and the Geo Defense twitter, I am looking forward to this, I started up geo defense again today
geoDefense Swarm IS DONE Whew! I'm done. Fork is in. Okay, maybe a few polishing or bug fixes might result from the testers. But for all intents and purposes, it is in the can... my man. I've got a preview build out, to a select few, including the fine folks here who run the ever-popular touchArcade so they can bring you any thoughts they have before the rest. They helped me get the original geoDefense off the ground, and I wanted them in on the first wave. As you probably know, Swarm is geoDefense without the fixed path. It's hard... like the original (okay the easy easy levels should be easy) and every level is a unique experience... same flava' as the classic. My level building skillz were augmented by Chris Moore (whom we all call Skippy). Him and I have worked together for years and hes is just as devious as I am when it comes to this sort of thing. Oh, and don't worry... geoDefense "classic" has four new levels in the can too, along with OpenFeint integration for online leaderboards (just like Swarm). I'm going to push that update out after Swarm clears Apple's review process (so that I can put a cross promo link over to Swarm). I hope to submit to Apple in the next couple days if testing holds. If you don't mind, I'm going to go collapse now...
This game is the booooooooooooooooomb. It is so hard though, I feel like such a moron losing on the same levels over and over. But then again, that's how GeoDefense was.
I'll certainly buy this the day it hits the app store. The first was challenging, but far from impossible. It was just a matter of getting a feel for each level, so I imagine this new one will be the same. The particle effects made the first one look brilliant as well, and I liked the weapon variety. There are about ten brilliant TD's for the iphone, and the first geodefense is one of them, so the second is definitely a must buy for me.
Will this one come with its own music? I know I can play my own music, but it'd be nice to have some official stuff also.
Music No music right out of the gate... I'm working with a good composer though and will add it in a subsequent update.
Oh I am so jealous I want to play this now I am reattacking some of the originals level at the moment to get back in the feel for it when Swarm comes out.
I doubt it, but that would be awesome, I should be finishing up the original today so that would be perfect timing
This definitely looks awesome. Open Geodefense sounds like the best idea ever. Now I can look even stupider as the creeps win again and again!
Just got my hands on a preview build and I take back what I said about TD games... this rocks! Its pretty challenging while keeping up the same pace from the original so that each round lasts 5 minutes or less.
Hate I still haven't heard from David about testing. Although he announced it on twitter so he may have got so many requests to get mine though. Put in a good word for me!
Can't Wait I know I'm going to love this game. I love all the colorful explosions and challenges. Can't wait!
