Release (Attack of) the Kraken! :D

Posted in Amazon, App, App Store, Attack of the Kraken, FREE, Kindle, Shooter, iPad, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, shmup, space, stars on January 31st, 2013 by George K

Hey all! Hope you’re well!

The assault on non-iOS devices continues with Attack of the Kraken for Kindle devices! :D

Best of all it’s FREE – forever! No In-App-Purchases. No ads. Just a free game for you to (hopefully) enjoy!

The game will also be going free on iPhone from tomorrow (February 1st, 2012) so iPhone/iPad owners that haven’t tried it can have it for nothing too!

Working on the Android version, also free, which will be out soon with any luck!

Hope you like it! It was my first ‘proper’ iOS game, and while rather old (can I call it Retro?) it’s still quite fun I think!

Toodles!

QS :D

Another review for Sunshine and a quick thank you! :D

Posted in App, App Store, Apple, Games, News, Reviews, Sunshine, iPad, iphone, ipod, retro, space, stars on November 11th, 2011 by George K

Hello! :D

Well, launch day for Sunshine is drawing to a close for me. Still lots to do to try and promote my little game tomorrow, but it’s been a good day overall!

Thank you to everyone that helped spread the word, and for all the kind words for Sunshine! It’s really appreciated!

As the icing on the cake, this review came in late last night, and is rather wonderful! It’s by arcadelife.co.uk (and we always worry about disappointing them as they’re lovely and know their stuff!).

Fortunately it’s a good review, with an incredible 91/100 on the scoreboard for Sunshine! I had to sit down and have a cup of tea to recover, believe me!

Here’s the review!

Thanks to arcadelife, 148apps.com, theAppReviewer, Twitter and Facebook followers, people that left reviews and ratings on iTunes and everyone else that helped today! It’s been fun and knackering all at the same time!

So that’s day 1… time for bed methinks!

Thanks again!

QS :D

148apps.com reviews Sunshine! :D

Posted in App, App Store, Apple, Games, News, ProjectSOL, Reviews, Shooter, Sunshine, iPad, iphone, ipod, retro, shmup, space, stars on November 10th, 2011 by George K

So, the game is out today on iPhone and iPad, and you can find more details on it here!

I got a wonderful review of the iPad version from 148apps! It’s lovely!

You can read it here :)

It’s so wonderful that the reviewer absolutely got what the aim of the game is – to make you smile like an idiot! :D

I’ve always liked the site – our previous games scored 3 stars (Gravitrixx) and 3.5 stars (Air Supply) from them. They’re hard to please, but they’re fair!

But most importantly, they give someone like me the chance of a little exposure in the sea of Apps that are out there.

And for that, above all else, I’m always very grateful!

Hope you enjoy the review – it made me smile lots!

Cheers,

QS :D

Making bugs in the sun…

Posted in App, App Store, Apple, Games, Music, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, Sunshine, iPad, iphone, ipod, planets, retro, science, shmup, space, stars on October 19th, 2011 by George K

Hello all, hope you’re well!

Just wanted to give a quick update on the status of “Sunshine – Here comes the Sun”.

The game has been with testers for over a week now, and I’m listening to all the feedback. Most of it has been very positive, which is lovely!

There are some bugs/niggles though which I’m trying to work through.

The feedback has been awesome though, and I’m excited to nearly be finished (again!).

Seems that when a game is 80% done, there’s always another 80% to go ;)

Anyway, I’m working on it! Keep your eyes peeled for the Sun! :D

In other news, I’ve finally decided what ‘ProjectCAP’ will be – as in what type of game. That’s a long way off of course, but I’m trying to source the music right now, while also keeping an eye on Air Supply: SOS.

So much to do. So little time!

QS :D

Here comes the Sun! :D

Posted in Games, Music, News, ProjectSOL, Shooter, art, iPad, iphone, ipod, planets, shmup, space, stars on October 8th, 2011 by George K

Almost!

Good progress made is the good news coming out of Sheep Towers! The game is done – it works – you can play from start to finish.

I’ve implemented GameCenter leaderboards for each level, and put in the level progression. It’s all *touch wood* working!

I am having some sound issues, and there are about 100 small things that need tidying up. But it’ll be with the testers in the next day or so, just to give it the all clear.

Hopefully submitting by Thursday/Friday this week, for a release the week after.

HOPEFULLY!!!

Fingers crossed, eh?

Here’s another pic to keep you going!


Cheers,

QS :D

Blimey, this is taking a while!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been working on Sunshine (!) trying to get it just the way I want it. It’s coming along ok. I’m *hoping* to have something for the testers this weekend.

But then I’ve been saying that for a few weeks now :O

Sorry!

To tide you over, here’s another work in progress screenshot.

Again, it doesn’t give much away, but I hope it intrigues/charms/scares you (delete as applicable!).

Keep looking for the sun! :D

GameCenter comes to Air Supply!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Apple, Games, Music, Shooter, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, space on May 18th, 2011 by George K

“Finally!” I hear you exclaim!

Indeed!

My little game now has GameCenter. A whole new world of addiction for seasoned Air Supply players, and a nice incentive for new players as they unlock colours!

I did something a little different. The scores submitted to GameCenter are based, of course, on how far you run. But there are leaderboards for every colour, for both Air Supply mode and Fuel Supply mode :D

Additionally, these two modes have an ‘overall’ score. So whichever colour’s your favourite that you like to play with, you’ll get a score for. And if it’s the highest score of all the colours unlocked, that will be put into the overall score for that mode!

It’s already got me addicted and playing my own game more and more trying to beat people’s scores when I should really be working!

Thanks for playing, and I hope you all enjoy it!

:D

Apple is playing Air Supply!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Apple, Games, iphone, ipod, sci-fi, space, stars on April 26th, 2011 by George K

Yay!

Many thanks to our Apple overlords who have featured Air Supply in their ‘What we’re playing’ section in a few countries! It’s greatly appreciated!

More and more people are playing the game, which is wonderful! I hope you’re all enjoying it! :D

There will be more updates to Air Supply in due course, and a rather nice surprise too! Meanwhile, Air Supply – SOS is currently in full production, and we hope to have that out in about a month for iPad and maybe even Mac.

It’s a brand new adventure for Spaceman Sam, and we hope you’ll enjoy it!

:D

Turning up the heat! Twice! :D

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Apple, Games, Gravitrixx, iphone, ipod, puzzle, retro, space, stars on April 1st, 2011 by George K

Hello everyone! :D

In continuing the commitment towards Air Supply with another update – 1.2 is out now and features:

*Added a new short and sweet track by Mister Beep – this gives the game an awesome 1bit soundtrack of 8 chiptunes in total.
*Added user requested option to allow buttons to remain visible. This can be found in ‘options’ under ‘control settings’
*Added ability to adjust opacity of ‘always visible’ control graphics.
*Reduced amount of stats visible at game end. You can still see the full stats by pressing the button in the top right hand corner of the game over screen.
*reduced loading times slightly
*Some tiny bug fixes

A tiny sneak peek of v1.3 can be found on the arcadelife website here.

Hope you like it and I’m working hard to get the 1.3 to you all as soon as I can! :D

In addition, Air Supply is listed under ‘What’s Hot’ in both arcade and action categories on iTunes US!

You know what’s fun about that?

Well, in the ‘action’ category, Air Supply is joined by another Quantum Sheep game – Gravitrixx! :D

Check it out below, top left, bottom right!

I hope they get along!

Thanks to everyone who bought the game and to Apple for the continued support! :D

Another Air Supply review rolls in!

Posted in Air Supply, App, App Store, Games, New and Noteworthy, News, Shooter, art, iphone, ipod, retro, sci-fi, science, screenshots, shmup, space, stars on March 9th, 2011 by George K

Hello lovely people!

We’ve had another awesome Air Supply review over at technobrains.com

You can read it here.

Some choice quotes for you:

“The graphics in Air Supply are deliciously retro. And I’m not talking about that garbage where people draw really poor graphics and call it “old school”. It’s clear that a lot of effort was put into making the graphics look like they belong on a pre-NES console. What it proves to me is that such graphics could actually look pretty cool!”

“The bottom line is that this game rocks! As it is I’ve become strangely drawn to this genre of game, but Air Supply has kicked my obsession to a new level. I love the look, I love the music, and I love trying to unlock all the unlockables.”

“If you do not own this gem yet, go out and buy it now.”

We’re so excited and humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response the game has got since launch on Friday!

Thank you everyone that bought it, played it, enjoyed it, reviewed it and then wrote to us to tell us!

Cheers!

Air Supply is available on the App Store now, and can be found here.
