edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
This is my first GS game and I'm happy to announce Zeke in Orbit HD is officially out on the App store for the iPad! The iphone version is launching next Thursday July 14 so stick around for more updates...

iTunes Link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zeke-in-orbit-hd/id445283398?mt=8#

I've spent the past 7 months by myself developing this game as a project for my Master's of Science in game design and I believe it has some truly unique touch based game mechanics and physics that have not been utilized before. It is hard to describe but if I had to categorize the game I would say it is a physics-based-action-puzzle-adventure! Everyone I have beta tested so far has really enjoyed the experience and I know you will too but I fear I'm a small fish in a big pond and I need to make some kind of (indie) splash so I beg you to download it, rate it, and give me feedback!

Features:
-6 Strange Galaxies with 10 Levels each
-3 Bones on each level to challenge your abilities
-Smooth physics based mechanics keep you bouncing around levels for hours!
-New abilities and obstacles introduced every 5 levels to keep things interesting...
-Bonus Levels and unique modes of play.
-Original soundtrack for each galaxy and engaging sound effects!
-Emergent gameplay: never beat a level the same way twice!
-Paint the screen with Zeke's Colored rocket tails!



Since this is an ongoing master's project, I intend to upgrade to the GS Pro if sales are good enough in order to include GameCenter and perhaps hire an artist : )

Finally, I am willing to offer up 5 (iPad)promo codes to the first people who email me at bcwood[at]indiana[dot]edu and can copy and paste the first sentence of the App Store description.

    I just checked this game out from reading about it on TiPb.com and was like: I wonder if this is a GameSalad game. And sure enough, I come here and see that it is! Hot Dog!

    whoa @JPickard, had no idea it was on there (took a screenshot for my mum)

    @NextGen, sure, give me a couple minutes and I'll DM you with one...that makes only 3 more promos I can give out (for now)...who wants the others?
  • SecondNightmareSecondNightmare Member Posts: 5
    Wow that looks really cool. Great concept. I'd love to try it out on the iPhone if you have any codes left :)
  • floydianspiralfloydianspiral Member, PRO Posts: 308
    What a great response...DMs sent out to those who requested and now I'm out of the promos I can spare (for now). To all those who have bought the iPad version let me know what you think and to all those with the exclusive iPhone promo enjoy it and feel free to post in this thread about your experiences... : )

    After sending out all the promo codes to app review sites I will definitely post any remaining codes I have in these forums as GS really is where its at in terms of innovative games. I have been writing a journal of my experiences developing this game and will edit it and post it here in a couple of days, until then...Happy Orbiting!

    Got it, thanks! I'll play and review it tomorrow am.
  • floydianspiralfloydianspiral Member, PRO Posts: 308
    @m13 sorry I don't...but I will give you your money back if you play it and honestly can tell me it wasn't worth $2!
  • JPickardJPickard Member Posts: 477
    Woo Hoo. Nice review of Zeke here: (with promo code contest) http://www.tipb.com/2011/07/14/zeke-orbit-giveaway/

    The money quote you should put on iTunes store: "It’s a lot of fun and very well made with natural feeling physics. It only took a few moments of gameplay to get me hooked!"
  • floydianspiralfloydianspiral Member, PRO Posts: 308
    I know! Hopefully this drives up sales in a big way...how many visitors do you suppose TIPB gets each day? I got a review from iphonegamerUK coming soon, he has been tweeting back an forth with me REALLY enjoying the game, he was the one who discovered the unbeatable level 17 bug which I quickly expedited to apple.

    I'm going to giveaway 10 more promos here tomorrow...was wondering on advice for the best way to do it: should I just post them in the thread, make people PM me, or what? Let me know!
  • floydianspiralfloydianspiral Member, PRO Posts: 308
    Another good review from Blamza: http://www.blamza.com/zeke-in-orbit-is-awesome-and-it-is-on-iphone-and-ipad/
  • DoManDoMan Member Posts: 102
    Your game looks really impressive! Hoping I could ask for a pre-order promo code to give it a test drive. I'd love to see how advanced users can do such awesome feats with gamesalad. Thanks so much for your time! Q - how would I find your game if we don't have it on our App Store?
  • jb15jb15 Member Posts: 602
    Looks like an awesome game. What have sales been like?
  • floydianspiralfloydianspiral Member, PRO Posts: 308
