edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
Hi all, I have been working on this game for about 6 months. I just finished the game, and was about to upload it as "Block Blast"

But of course, "Block Blast" is already taken, and I googled it and here is the other game: http://blockblast.sankeydesign.com/

So, Here I am, with an app with no name!
Here are the Screenshots:

Ok, so all you do in this game is this: Use Bombs to move different blocks around the screen so that the blocks hit all of the orbs.

The following are some words that could be part of the game name.

Blast
Bomb
Bombshell
Bombard
batter
blitz
launch
strike
Block
Brick

Can't wait for your feedback!

    What do you guys think of "Bomb Camp" or "Blast field", or "Boom Town"? or are these irrelevant?

    OMG, please, please stop using Comic Sans in your designs!

    You should follow this chart when deciding if you want to use Comic Sans in your designs:

    I agree with the above comment... Or if you're going to use it get rid of
    The drop shadow.

    I like the name boom town too man!

    Whoa! Sorry guys, I didn't know that people hated Comic Sans so much! I won't use that font any more!

    Anyway, what about "Pocket Bomb"?

    @scitunes, That's a cool name too, but It is a little to long for an app name

    Thanks guys.

    What about just something simple: "Blocks and Bombs", "Bombs n Blocks", etc. "Bombin Blocks"? Or "Blomb" lol
  • VoidedSkyVoidedSky Member Posts: 1,095
    Ooo, "Bombin Blocks" I like that one!

    What about:

    Short Fuse
    Ka Boom
    Tick Tick Boom

    Font: Try something that looks it's eroded (like its survived a blast) 28_Days_Later font is sort of what I'm thinking but you would need a approval to use that.

    Not sure about the new font. Seems a little 'ancient Roman' looking, which doesn't tie in with the game style at all. I'd recommend 3 general cartoony fonts that are free:

    - Badaboombb
    - Grobold
    - Massive Headache 3

    All look pretty cool.

    OK, I took your advice @jasongreeno, and this is what I came up with:

    I hope this is better!

    So what do you guys think of "Pocket Bomb" or "Pocket Bomber"?

    Thanks! Which name do you like?
  • juzcookjuzcook Member Posts: 259
    I'd definately go with that final font you picked!

    One thing to consider when making a name is Google. If you really want to track the game on the web, come up with a name that doesn't exist anywhere when you Google it prior to release. For my game "Nesen Probe", I searched for alternate words for "nose". "Nesen" is Scandinavian derivation of "nose."

    Before my game was released, searching google for "Nesen Probe" (in quotes) gave no returns at all. Now I can google with quotes and find exactly where it is mentioned. My first game was called "Food Fight", and I could never find anything relevant on the web unless I added our company name to the search string.

    Just something to consider.

    @design219 great points! That is what I did with my company name, I made something up that google didn't recognize!

    @everyone, Thanks for all of the names! Now its going to be hard for me to choose one!
