Not sure about the graphics style, probalby a simple cartoonish style with some cool particles. I got some really neat particles im working on now, ill post a video when im done
I'm just working on a bit of art for my game, it's late here so I'm going to make a video tomorrow.
Ace
some particles
Were doing a game at the mo that could really use particles.
Are they very memory hungry? ie destroy framerate?
Marc n Soph
60 fps on iphone 4 and memorys around 17 mb, with the particles and the ramp drawing
Marc n Soph
more particles haha:)
look forward to seeing this grow.
Ace
and that is telling you... Smashing! work, John!

Im having alot fun working on it, and cant wait to see waht today brings!
Added some of the art and scrolling backgrounds
Ace
You cant tell cause it gets messed up at the beginning of the video but its endless gameplay, all in a 480x320 scene. Might have 2 types of game modes

added the graphics for the ramps and stuff you draw, there sheets of ice
the storyline is your a super penguin that can spray sheets of ice out to guide you, kinda like how the silver surfer does.
The character will have animations of the ramps being sprayed out and formed from him
also wil be adding a indicator like clumbsy bob for when the character is in the air above the screen
mock up of a android type slide out menu
like how yours slides! total control!

1. What's the FPS on devices?
2. Are you going to sell it on the App Store?
3. If so, WHEN CAN I BUY IT!!?
4. Are the ice ramps final or are you going to make them respond a little better?
Now some suggestions...
One thing is to have different game difficulties... easy freezy [no obstacles, w/ notification at the top of the screen to show where the character comes back down when it goes off the screen (look up the Cookbook vid)],
icy intermediate (with obstacles, but minimal, and the notification), and ho ho hard (twss
Next, I'm guessing your going to add a main menu, but if you weren't planning on it, please do because than you can sell it...
Last, include some sort of death, like a penguin ghost floating up (or something along those lines)...
Besides that, everything looks superb!!! Great job...

Fps is around 50 on the iphone 4. Yes i plan to sell it in the appstore, hope to have it all finished by the contest end.
And for your suggestions, im acutally in the process of adding the indicator in the game right now for when you jump above the screen. There wil be differtn difficultys as you suggestion with obsicales and stuff, im thinkgin enemies as well you have to try and land on and draw off them, as well as some things you can land on and slide across like glaciers and such.
The ramps are extremely smooth on the device(we all know what youtube likes to do to videos), of course you get stuck if you draw a straight up and down ice ramp in front of you, bbut thats part of the game.
And as for the menu, the sliding menu demo posted above is how it will be set up. There wil be the tital with some game animatiosn as well as a nice particle display (im a fan of particles if you havent notice
I really appriciate you taking the time to type all the out and to look at my project, thanks again!
John
Sounds great, and again, I can't wait to purchase it... Also, how'd you like some of my difficulty names? It took me like an hour (a couple of minutes
