    The game title dilemma

    Oh oh, I think we have the same problem. 3 people I know suggested that the word 'Kill' is too violent for the casual audience. Happened to me before when Rubpix sounds like rubbing pictures to reveal something unappropriate for some ages.

    I think "Kill the Plumber" is an attention catcher. Whether if your players would be turned off or not, not really sure.


    As for my game's title, I've never actually considered it to be associated to smoking. I have no plans of changing it though. I like it. Plus, it was my girlfriend who suggested it. Haha!

    Thank you, egarayblas. Can't wait for your game as well! :)
     
  5. This looks like a great game. Something very "Triple Town" about the art-style. I actually prefer the old icon to the new but that can be personal taste.
    Surprised you didn't call it just "Pop Puff". Its sounds better. Like "Candy Crush" does.
    Will have this on my watchlist :)

    Funny you say thst because Triple Town is actually the inspiration for the art style. It was the game that my gf really loved and I wanted her to like this one. Haha.

    I totally agree with the above quote. The newest icon/logo is way better then the first. I also thought of Triple Town inspiration when I saw it. However it is not even close to the same premise which is a good thing for sure. I will be looking forward to playing it. Count me as a customer. Congratulations on the buzz generating press and roll out thus far.

    New Gameplay Trailer

    WE finally got around to making a more decent trailer! It is far better than the last one which had black borders and blurry graphics.


    In the next trailer, we are planning on making a short cartoon featuring the two characters. Looking forward to how that will turn out. :)

    It has been awhile since we last posted. Let's fix that.

    Expect the game by around end of June!

    We are not sure of the exact date yet but we are now in a state where we are confident to share the game to the world. The game now has five unique areas with around 15-20 levels each. We'll add more, of course, through app updates.

    Pop Puff and Away was at Casual Connect Singapore!

    [​IMG]

    Most of our time for the past few weeks was spent preparing for our Indie Prize booth at Casual Connect Singapore. We were ecstatic to have been nominated for the Best Kid and Family Game. While we did not win, the nomination was enough of a confirmation that we are doing something right.

    And I bet you guys have already noticed it by now...

    Pop and Puff Plushies!

    [​IMG]

    We had a number of plush toys made for Casual Connect. We are planning on giving them away soon or maybe even sell them as merchandise if permitting.

    There's still a lot more stuff to do. Hopefully we can post more updates in the coming days.
