    Hey guys, long time no see :). So finally didn't win the Top5 position on SlideDB contest, but still being in Top50 was kind of good among more then 15000 indie games.

    My update on iOS has been rejected and have submitted another one on January 31, so it might come online next week at some point, if it is approved :).

    Meanwhile, developing the Android version, and improving the game. Here is a quick gameplay of the game on Android LG Nexus 5. I know you guys are iOS only, but once Android is published, I plan todo much more marketing, and players on iOS will be able to play with Android users seamlessly, and more players means more fun :).



    Cheers,
    Eric

    Hello,

    I've been quiet for a while here, very busy polishing my game on iOS and completing it for Android.

    Finally, I'm in the last steps to launch the game on Android. I had some problems with my iOS update, but everything is resolved now and both will came out on the same day: February 5th (iOS update + Android launch).

    See you on the battlefield soldiers. I'm currently developing new features for the next release which will came out in maybe 1-2 months or so, like camos and live chat, how that sounds :)?

    Cheers,
    Eric

    Hello folks, new Update has been submitted to Apple for review yesterday :), here what is coming in. For those of you which want to see an upgrade into graphics, new weapons and new maps, you will have to wait for the next next update, I'm already working on reload animation for the weapons, and also improving the graphics in general :).

    —=== NEW FEATURES ===—

    ● In-game Chat & weapons skins (Camos - some come as premium features, sorry the game is FREE and there is no Ads, please support me if you like the game)
    ● 2 Daily matches period to gather players together. The user base is still low which is not too easy to find players online, hopefully this will help a bit until the game gather more players. The score on those matches is also doubled, so another motivation to unlock weapons faster
    smile emoticon.
    ● New game mode called Super Soldier. This mode will basically replace "Hunger Soldier" which was an Elimination survival match, but was not bringing enough traction, so I decided to replace it for now.

    —=== IMPROVEMENTS ===—

    ● Search & Protect game mode improved. Now the team spawn as a group, and the wolf is spawning next to the protecting team. That will really move this mode to the next level smile emoticon.
    ● Movement improved (added a new static joystick)
    ● Aiming made easier.
    ● Hit detection improved on all the weapons
    ● Sometimes it could take about 1min. to connect to a match, this has been fixed in some context, it should happen less often.
    ● Getting disconnected has also been improved, it should happen less often.
    ● Sounds effects added for footsteps, jump and when firing enemies in some context.
    ● Recoil & light effect improved on all the weapons
    ● Cave level graphics improved
    ● Showing the number of player online
    ● More blood
    ● Improved shotgun range, power, spread, reload speed.
    ● Many many bug fixes and other things I might forget.

    Cheers,
    Eric L.
