After all the hard work Shadow Bug is finally out on the App Store! Get it while it's fresh! App Store: http://apple.co/1qpFXN5 Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel ----------------- Thank you all for participating our first Testflight Beta! We got a lot of valuable feedback from you guys. Thank you so much! Please sign up for our upcoming second Testflight Beta: www.shadowbug.com If you participated in the first one, you will receive the invitation for the second one as well. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Hi everyone, We are a new indie game studio from Finland and we have been developing a mobile game called Shadow Bug. It's an action adventure game for both iPad and iPhone. What we are most excited about in Shadow Bug is the unique core game mechanic. In the game you attack and jump at the same time by tapping on the enemies in the game world. This way the game doesn't need any digital buttons for the movement. The best description so far we have heard from a player testing the game is: "It's like Badland meets Super Meat Boy." What do you think, is that description anywhere close? We are aiming to release in early 2016. Please tell us what you think of the game. All feedback is much appreciated. Hope you guys like Shadow Bug! Screenshots for you: Some hitech enemies walking around the factory Concept art from the different worlds:
Looks good! The art is really nice. The gameplay looks simple and engaging too. Looking forward to its release.
Thanks a lot! Much can still change, but we are planning to have around 50 levels when we release the game. The levels will have varying sizes.
Beta version details We are starting our Beta test of Shadow Bug at 8th of August . The Beta will have the first one out of three worlds that will be in the final version of the game. This includes 19 forest levels and a boss level. Here are some new forest enemies we made for the Beta release:
Beta is now live! Our Beta is now live! Sign up at the website www.shadowbug.com and play the game right away.
A very interesting gameplay, from the video it seems too dark to me, but I've signed up for beta to see how it really looks on the device. Anyways good job and good luck!
