So I've been working on this game on and off for the past month. It's a super simple game that I wasn't too sure would be very good but I just went along with it. I like to think of it as jetpack joyride but the opposite, calm and portrait. You control a hot air balloon as high as possible without getting it by clouds, lightning, aliens and (angry)birds.

As I started making this just after tables and IAP I decided I might as well try and implement them into the game and see how it goes. As a result, you also have to collect coins. These coins can be gambled on the slot machine for more coins or different power ups. Players also have the option to spend coins directly on the power ups and use IAP to buy more coins.

This is a completely new art style for me and I like the way it has turned out. I will deffo be changing the look of the clouds.

At this point in time I need to do all the art for the shop, and smooth out some bugs and stuff.

So what I really need from you guys is some feedback and initial thoughts. I also need a name for this game. I'm thinking along the lines of simply Air Baloon or Hot Air or maybe something to do with pixels like Pixel Rise. Suggesting a name would be very helpful.

Cheers. :D

    Can't think of a name but looks a really cool app! Graphics are really neat, did you do them yourself?

    @Bright-Spark-Games Thanks, all the art was done by myself but it took ages, did some research on how it's done and gave it a shot.

    The first thing that came to mind was "Up Up and Away!" Great idea by the way!

    I was thinking quite simply, "UP". Do you think thats a risky name considering the Pixar film?
  • DimensionGamesDimensionGames PRO Posts: 993
    @olster1 really nice graphics I can imagine it will have taken a while.

    On the UP issue I think that they could probably get you in trouble due to the balloon involved as they can say there can be a confusion between the two products and may mistake this to be made by Disney etc.

    One of my game names was mentioned for a game i'm working on (24 hour challenge one I hope to finish) hope it doesn't get used xD lol.

    I don't think the word UP would get you in trouble.
    Maybe.. "Going Up" "Hot Air"

    Oh no! I'll let you know when I decide on the final name. Do we have the same sorta concept then?

    I also sent an email to apple to see if a name such as up would have any legal issues on their side, cause rejection ect.

    As an update, I have just finished the lovely looking store, the only issue I have is how to display the price of an IAP for each region, for now I have just put "press buy for cost in your region' I assume the pop up that comes up will display it correctly. Will apple allow this I wonder?
