But seeing as how I can't edit the thread title, I guess you guys are going to get a better deal than expected. Happy birthday. Gryphon Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2012 1,020 0 0 #3 Gryphon, Jan 15, 2013 Wait free or 99 cents? nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #4 nightc1, Jan 15, 2013 If its free cool... if not just contact a mod by reporting the thread and they can edit the title. Clash Force Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2012 78 0 0 #5 Clash Force, Jan 15, 2013 It will go free at 12:00 am eastern time. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #6 nightc1, Jan 15, 2013 Cool.

Been wanting to pick this one up, loved Clash Force! chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #8 chess, Jan 15, 2013 This looks terrific...and I loved Clash Force. I need to leave reviews at a minimum. Clash Force Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2012 78 0 0 #9 Clash Force, Jan 15, 2013 Okay, it's ready to go. Enjoy, it won't be free again for a very long time!!! Gryphon Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2012 1,020 0 0 #10 Gryphon, Jan 15, 2013 When will it go free? Clash Force Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2012 78 0 0 #11 Clash Force, Jan 15, 2013 It's been changed. It may take a little bit to show up as free in Apple's system. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #12 nightc1, Jan 15, 2013 He said 12am but I think he just flipped the switch and if so tha can take upto an hour to go live. Whatever the case I should be awake when it goes live. Gryphon Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2012 1,020 0 0 #13 Gryphon, Jan 15, 2013 Free now! nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #14 nightc1, Jan 15, 2013 Yep, downloading now. Thanks! ninjackid Well-Known Member May 27, 2010 9,380 2 38 #15 ninjackid, Jan 15, 2013 Sweet! Thanks for the freebie! Just wondering, are there any plans to add widescreen support for the iPhone 5? Clash Force Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2012 78 0 0 #16 Clash Force, Jan 15, 2013 It's possible, but I don't have the money to buy a widescreen device at the moment, and I don't feel comfortable releasing a product that I can't test hands on. I would of course like to support as many devices as I can, but it's also a bit tricky with a pixel art style game that is designed so deeply in conjunction with the resolution. For example, on some of the boss stages that take place on a single non-scrolling screen, there is actually nothing to the right or left to show, and that would have to be reworked. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #17 Connector, Jan 15, 2013 Cool game, not so great graphics but they may have been designed for that. Very retro type graphics. Not ipad retina or even close. Can't get myself to play on my ipad cause it's not retina, but it looks decently enough on hdmi tv. This game reminds me of a more primitive sonic the hedgehog in gameplay. It has a choice of controls iphone or ipad which seem to work for me. The gameplay is fantastic, and it has really cool music. Highly recommended! Psiufoxx Well-Known Member May 25, 2011 421 0 16 sustainability consulting paris (yeah, the one in france) #18 Psiufoxx, Jan 15, 2013 Last edited: Jan 15, 2013 A must own. Grabbed it! I'm a big fan of "blue sky games" like this - those of the upbeat, bright color variety. And I've got to say its a fantastic little game, hugely inspired by Sonic and Bomberman and other similar platformers, but not a simple rehash or clone. Great chip tune music and interesting level design, plus lots of funky little power ups to keep game play fresh. I don't know how I missed Polyroll up until now, but I'm really happy to have an opportunity to play it. Justin - are you a one man show? Did you design this and Clash Force on your own? If so, bravo! Have you seen much success from sales? squabs Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2012 317 1 18 #19 squabs, Jan 15, 2013 Thanks, toot toot! Reminds me of sonic 1 and 2 on sega master system. Clash Force Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2012 78 0 0 #20 Clash Force, Jan 15, 2013 Just me, although Lucky Lion Studios did all the music. Nope, still broke. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
