Back again with our weekly Screenshot Saturday update. This one features yesterday's newly released character: Robo Mall Cop! First up we have my rough concept art for the character: This one was fun to design with the Fally team. Initially the character had long pants on, but someone suggested shorts and it proved to be so much better. We had hoped to put him on a Segway during his fall animation, but it was not to be. Next up is a 360 degree view of Robert's character model: With the pose worked up by Hector as an homage to RoboCop, this one made us all laugh. Speaking of the pose, here's a quick screenshot Hector provided with his RoboCop reference. RoboCop is near and dear to a lot of our hearts, but most especially Hector's, so this was a fun one for him. Lastly we have a look at Brandon's work for the character's Super ability FX. This one gets me every time. I can't get enough of those cascading donuts. That's it for this week. I'll be making a post, probably on Monday, about fan art and a fun holiday give-away we have planned. Stay tuned and have a great weekend! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
We're opening up a "Drawing-for-Drawings" giveaway over on our Heroes Fally Facebook page. I thought I'd post up the info over on this thread as well. We've had a few people show interest in creating fan art featuring our revealed game characters. Last week we received our first finished piece, and it looks amazing! Check out Cat Lady, courtesy of Traci Cook. You can see Traci's other work here: http://www.tlcookdesigns.com If you're interested in doing some simple fan art featuring any character we've revealed from the game, we'd love to see it! We're putting out a call for people to post up whatever art they make featuring Fally characters, over on our Facebook wall. We'd like it to be an opportunity to also get your non-Fally related artwork in front of more eyes so, if you do post, make sure to include links to other work you have online (SFW works only please). We'll be giving away a Fally, holidays themed mystery prize next Friday (December 23rd) to one lucky participant. Each piece of fan art posted equals one chance to win the mystery prize. We'll do the drawing on Wednesday at noon, so you have until then to post up art. So if you, or someone you know, might want to make some fan art and get a little extra holiday promotion as well, we look forward to seeing you post over on our Facebook page! I'll be back with our regular Friday character reveal at the end of the week. Until then, all the best! (Contestants continue to hold rights to any fan art posted to our FB page, though we do retain all rights to our characters and any related game properties.) __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
A couple updates: First off, happy Friday! I have our weekly character reveal to share. Say hello to "Lady Gaia." It was so much fun to revisit Captain Planet while making this tribute character. Secondly, we've revealed the prize for our Holiday fan art challenge over on the Heroes Fally Facebook page. Anyone who posts up fan art on our FB page between now and next Friday (12/23/2016) gets a chance to win this handmade ornament, cast for us by Brobots Toys. It's guaranteed to liven up any tree it adorns. We've had a couple more submissions of fan art for our challenge since I last postsed. I thought I'd share them here: This one by Forrest Imel ( Here's his ArtStation site ) Then there's this hilarious number that caught us all off guard, by Jeff Hash ( His Instagram page ) Derrick Villalpando sent us this yesterday evening. (His work can be seen on Instagram, Facebook and InPrint ) I hope they make you laugh. I know they cracked us up. Tomorrow we'll be posting some supplementary material on Lady Gaia for Screenshot Saturday. Stay tuned! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally

Thanks, as always, for tuning in each week to see our updates. We'll have another character reveal in two weeks, but will be updating with a new promo image next week for the game. Until then, have a great one out there! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally

It's Friday, and time for another Fally character reveal! Please say "hello" to Kiddie Pool. We'll be back to post up some fun supplementary material soon. Have a great weekend, everybody! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
Here's a look at our latest revealed Fally character: She-Ra-Ra! Supplementary material coming soon! As always, we appreciate your checking out our work. Have a great Friday! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
Our team was down sick last week so we missed Screenshot Saturday for Kiddie Pool. As a result, this week will be a double-whammy, with extra looks at both Kiddie Pool and She-Ra-Ra! First the original concept art for both characters: These were a blast to do and She-Ra-Ra especially was a nice way to pay homage to past cartoon heroes. Next up we have 360 model turns for both characters: Here we see the great effects for each hero's super ability: We've changed up a few aspects of the game recently. Previously, heroes had a bar that charged as they fell. The bar indicated how much super power a hero had to burn. There was a double click action that activated the super ability. Now we're going to do away with the bar. Super is only activated when a player hits a power-up crate. There are other types of crates as well (time slow, nuke screen, and coin magnet), and using everything as a power-up allows us to create more strategic / fun levels. You may also notice in these videos that we've added a burglar at each roof top. When a player completes a fall level, they can land on the burglar for the coin bonus that used to come standard with every landing. This added bit of challenge has really upped the fun. We can't wait for everyone to try it out! Last, but not least, we have a look at animation for She-Ra-Ra's idle: That's it for this Saturday! Thanks for watching and we'll catch you at the next character reveal! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
As we work through the last stages of our game dev, the team just can't help but be blown away by all the views we've consistently gotten for our posts.

It's time for another character reveal! Say hello to Bloodpouch! This hero is a favorite of team member Brandon Leach and is straight 90's nostalgia. It was a total blast to work on. Here's the character banner and stat card: Here's the original concept sketch: Here we have a deconstructed view of the character's idle: Here's a 360 view of the character model: Last, but never least, we have a look at the character's unique Super FX: That does it for this post! We're actively working on the last stages of development. From here we're fine tuning things and planning out the game's release strategy. We'll be back soon with more updates and another character reveal. Until then, have a fantastic week! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
Well, it's been a little bit, but we're back to share more upcoming work from Heroes Fally! The team has been hard at work retooling some things, designing levels and adding some new features for players. We're really excited to be so close to final. Our target release is October. Stay tuned for more on that in further posts! For now, here's our latest character release for the game! This week we have a personal fav: Tassel Master Check out his character card below... As always, thanks for watching. Tune in tomorrow for some Screenshot Saturday goodness! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
Well, due to technical difficulties our Screenshot Saturday post turned into a Screenshot Sunday one. Here's some extra Tassel Master goodness. Hope you enjoy! First up we have the original concept art for the character: Next up is a 360 view of the character model: Here's a look at the hilarious Super power FX for the character: And who would we be if we didn't leave you with a looping gif of the tassel whip idle? Warning: It's hypnotizing. Set an alarm. And that wraps us up for this week. We're on track or a fall release and can't wait to get the game in everyone's phones soon! Have a good one and thanks for looking! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
The HF team submitted our game for first pass App Store approval, from Apple, this last Friday. We're excited to be so close to paving a clear way to publication by October! All the team attention has been focused on fine-tuning the game for submission, fixing minor bugs, play testing and smoothing out last minute details. I haven't had time to post much in the way of publicity, so I thought I'd show the screen shots put together for the App Store. It's been almost a year since we started posting to Touch Arcade. It's funny how much has changed and how much hasn't from this point last year. • We've introduced a number of hazards, and found fun ways to make those simple hazards combine into significantly more difficult ones. • We've curated over 100 level blocks, meaning there's a possible 100 BILLION possible level combinations for players to face during repeat play! • We've integrated video capture into the game. Now players can record their play and then record a picture-in-picture of themselves reviewing the recording. Audio only recording over game play is also available. • The burglar at the end of each level has become more devious, changing positions closer to when the hero makes a landing. Hit the burglar for extra medals, or miss and pout about it like we do. • There are 27 unique characters at launch. Two will be available immediately upon download, five are unlocked only through game play and the other 20 can be unlocked via game play or individual purchase. • The interface has gotten tighter, the memory footprint is the lightest its ever been and the load time and frame rate are both really great. Once app approval (and secondary, full IAP approval) is received from Apple, we'll begin our final countdown guerrilla marketing blitz. We're thankful, as always, for your time viewing these posts. We hope everyone will find the game as enjoyably addicting as we do when we release it later in October! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
We're very very pleased to announce we've obtained review approval from the App Store! We'll be announcing a release date soon. The game drops this Fall! __________________________________________________ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/heroesfally Twitter | https://twitter.com/HeroesFally Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heroesfally
