Fade Out Lite released

2D-Sprite-Box

The first game in my series, Fade Out, has been released in the App Store. The game is called Fade Out Lite, it's free, so if anyone could download and give some feedback, that'd be great. Fade Out is in the review process now, if you like Fade Out Lite, I'd be happy to provide a promo code for Fade Out and any other game in the series. Thanks!

I just downloaded the Lite but I don't have an iPhone at hand to try it out right now, will give it a go later.

One thing i noticed though, the second screenshot seems somewhat pointless. It doesn't tell the potential purchaser anything about the game. Better to be short and sweet in my opinion (i.e. 3 pictures rather than 3 and one seemingly pointless one). Correct my if I've missed something other than the 7,10 and black background.

When I uploaded the screenshots to Apple, I loaded them in one order, they displayed in the reverse, if you look at the screenshots from the 4th to the first, it makes sense, I'm hoping the update will fix it

You know, the screenshots really don't do this justice (probably to be expected!) It's actually quite fun!

A few points:

I like the minimalist black 'n' white look. Another way you could go is the trippy psychedelic route a la Jeff Minter and Space Giraffe. That would probably give me a headache though!

Maybe have the square flash again if you don't get it within five seconds or something. Sometimes you can miss where the square appeared. Maybe that's the point?

Perhaps have the square beep when you touch it. Just to confirm that it's been hit. And/Or have it beep when it's spawned. If you use positional sound, you'll get a audio clue as well as a visual one (if you're wearing headphones I guess!)

Good simple stuff though. I kinda like it!

I definitely want to do an update later that will allow the user to pick the background color, should be nice to give them some control over it.

I didn't want it to appear again since in the full version it does move and appear in the Med level if you miss it.

I tried using sound with it (the beep), and was using the positional sound, but the testers I had said that it made it too easy, you didn't have to really pay attention to know the general location of the square.

I might make that optional in the updated one.

Thank you for the review, it really helps.
