Thank GOD this is finally coming out. Best news I've heard all day. Better news would be "its out right now", but this'll have to do.
I love Peggle as much as anyone but I'll take Rockchinko first... maybe I'm biased http://www.rockchinko.com/
Wow dude, I think you might have some problems on your hands. I have not seen a more blatant copy of Peggle than this game. You even took the whole "slow motion, last peg" thing from them, complete with the same style music afterwards. I truly hope that your game is pulled from the app store. While I actually think it looks pretty good, I hate it when devs steal game ideas, especially when the actual dev is releasing a real version of the game a few days after.
And also, you are promoting your game on a completely unrelated thread. Im pretty sure you are breaking the rules.
I'll be the first to say that we were certainly influenced by Peggle and I was disappointed that they've taken so long to release it for the iPhone/iPod Touch. But I wouldn't say we blatantly copied them any more than I'd say any first person shooter is a blatant copy of Doom. Like I said before, I love Peggle and I think what we've done is an evolution of the genre. That said, you're right - this is a Peggle thread and this conversation and maybe my tongue-in-cheek statement was inappropriate here.
Just posted a comment to your thread - I think Rockchinko can hold its own!!! Looks great. I appreciate the heads up - never heard of it before. Peggle is gonna rock - soooo glad to know a date. Looks like I'll get a week or so to enjoy Rockchinko before Peggle hits, too!!! Good games a'comin'!!!
3 MORE SLEEPS TO PEGGLE!! I've never been more excited for another game to come out on my iPod touch! I think it's only right to stir the hype machine until release, this will be 'game crack' for many people!!
I'm totally stoked for it. I'm going to try to convince my mom to buy it, mostly because she's already addicted to Bejeweled 2, and mostly because I'm broke.
Well the PC ver. gets a lot of replay from me, it's just a really easy game to jump into and out of... This has been my most anticipated game yet... Only 4 More kittens to go!
How do we know for sure its going to be out on Tuesday? when has any developer known the exact date for an appstore release?
Rolando had a release date. You can submit a game to the App Store and have it approved, but you do not need to make it for sale immediately.
Ah, I see. Any news on price? Peggle is quite a high profile game so although a very casuall and simple game I'm guessing they may go for a £5.99 pricepoint.
You'd think they'd release it right away then, or at least by Sunday. I'm sick of waiting. $4.99 is likely. Bookworm's regular price is that amount.
Hopefully it isn't that high. As much as I love Peggle, I'd rather check out Assassin's Creed or Need for Speed if it came to $10.
I though the dev said they were SUBMITTING on the 12th? I guess I'm wrong, even better if it's actually being released on the 12th
