    Make sure to get this on Amazon and Nook! I found both of those stores to be more profitable than iOS (by a wide margin).

    ORDiNARiUM NEWS:

    Wow! It's been an INCREDIBLE first weekend for Ordinarium! Sales are doing terrific, reviews popping up everywhere around the net and across the world, Twitter lit up about the game... there's just been so much, its hard to grasp it all happening at once! Super exciting!

    Thanks so much to all you GameSaladers who kept supporting us with this project. ORDiNARiUM is really a testimony of the power of GameSalad and its capabilities. :) We thank the GameSalad staff for all it's support as well!

    If you haven't taken a look at the game yet, we definitely invite you to.

    Here's a few updates on the game itself:

    - The minor fade out glitch in Act II of the story has been identified and fixed in the next update!

    - The raved about soundtrack is being released to YouTube on our channel track by track.

    @jonmulcahy Wow! Thank you! :D

    @UtopianGames Thanks! The art was definitely the backbone of this game. :)

    @FranzKeller lol! Dont worry... I took it as a compliment. :P When it comes to ORDiNARiUM, weird is good. :)

    @Wingnology The gameplay is pretty silly.. you rotate your character and feed on things around you.. while avoiding larger monsters. :)

    @FutureNewbApps Thank you! I hope they continue too. :) Mostly because I really want to buy the Pro Membership someday :P lol

    @Gyroscope Thanks for the support! Hope you enjoy playing. :)

    U mind sharing some sales figures? Congrats. I just read the app advice article :)

    They say the controls are slow and choppy but that can be fixed :)

    @3xL Thank you! :D ... and I'll have to get back to you on that. :)

    lol Yeah we're completely retooling the controls right now to make it more smooth and easy to use. :) The internet has spoken... and we intend to respond! :) lol

    @rittenhouse ... not sure if you aware but you made it onto IGN... http://uk.wireless.ign.com/articles/122/1222594p1.html ... well done mate, that should boost your sales, i hope frenzy pop can emulate that :)
  • SUMinteractiveSUMinteractive Member, PRO Posts: 49

  • iCliffiCliff Member Posts: 51
    Getting a Mention from IGN is really Hard, So Good Work!

    Picked up the Game over the weekend, and am LOVING IT! Great Work!
  • RittenhouseRittenhouse Member Posts: 305
    @SAZ_1 Wow! We found it this morning! Super exciting. :) And dont worry.. Im sure Frenzy Pop will do awesome!.. Looks great!... even though I prefer to call it Frenzy Soda :P lol

    @dereksum Thank you! Hope you enjoy playing :)

    @iCliff wow.. I didnt think we would EVER make it to IGN. That IS big. Its really weird to be reading these mentions and reviews about your work.. its fun but its almost surreal. lol Thanks for picking it up! :D

    Congratz on the coverage, well deserved. This is my favorite Gamesalad game I've played. Also would love to know numbers when/if you have some.
  • SAZ_1SAZ_1 Member Posts: 397
    you know what its just the weirdness to this app that makes it soo great.. i love the text inbetween the levels and the whole ..'this is ordinary' parts ..lol
  • RittenhouseRittenhouse Member Posts: 305
    @natzuur SUPER thanks! :D Glad you're enjoying it. It definitely took some time to put together but we had a lot of fun. :)

    @SAZ_1 lol weirdness is always a good thing in my book. :P Glad you're enjoying the "story" as well.. .its kinda wacky but entertaining :)

    Here's the complete info: http://rittenhouseapps.blogspot.com/

    Also, thanks again for all your support with this game, everyone. :)

    This is a great game! I had to lay off of it for a while because I actually got a blister on my left thumb trying to spin the squiddy thing around so much.

    New gaming term: "ORDiNARiUM Blister"
  • RittenhouseRittenhouse Member Posts: 305
    haha wow... sorry about that! At least its addicting then, right? lol :D... In the new update coming up we are introducing a whole new control style that might help smooth out that blister :P.. but dont worry, if you like the game as it is, the new controls are optional and you can play with the thumbstick as it is :P
  • BreckenBrecken Member Posts: 143
    haha one of the coolest art styles I have ever seen! Amazing work, will be sure to catch a copy when I get home!
  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394
    I never use my iPad which is why i haven't picked this up yet, port to iPhone or Mac and I'm in. As seems with all your work @rittenhouse ... excellent!

    Yup. Definitely one of the best art styles ever on an iPad game.
  • RittenhouseRittenhouse Member Posts: 305

    @PLStudio Thanks for the support! :) Let me know what you think after you've played it a bit!

    Hey everyone.. New ORDiNARiUM news!
    It's finally here!! We are pleased to announce the release of
    ORDiNARiUM: UPDATE 1.1.0 "REVENGE OF THE BERRY MAMA"
    …now available on the App Store TODAY! Check out the new update features:

    Update Info:
    This is the big one! You spoke... we listened!

    This update features an all NEW control style!
    - Sticky controls, you say? Get ready for "Evolved" gameplay! Experience ORDiNARiUM with a more fluid control system and increased precision. Say goodbye to the control stick.. because we have re-invented the wheel!

    NOTE: Are you a fan of how the game is right now? Good news! "Classic" controls will still be available as well with the new update, so don't worry.

    REVENGE OF THE BERRY MAMA:

    You're eating her babies, and the Berry Mama's not happy about it! Prepare for her revenge as she comes to chase you down. Evade the danger of her reaching grasp... or else you will lose valuable time that could cost you your very survival.

    Other Features with this update:

    - New Creature Surprises! You'll have to work harder to survive as some of your prey will flee when you come near.
    - You will no longer be returned to the Main Menu upon replaying a level.
    - Additional Big Fixes

    ORDiNARiUM just got extraordinary!
