Bumps Video Update

UtopianGames

Hi Guys,

We have a new video to show off our latest game Bumps...thanks for all the nice feedback in previous videos it has really spurred me on!

We have added in a lot more content and i'm really pleased with the water effect we have implemented (Bumps sink then float back to the top bobbing on the surface) along with reverse gravity power ups and loads more...

Anyway better to show rather than blabber on....



We also have a 50% off sale for the PC version $4.95 (£3.45) to celebrate the start of the iPhone version and if you would like a hard copy Bumps can be found in all good games shops in the US, UK and AUS.

AppChogie

Might be a silly question but your games look like they are made with Xcode not gamesalad?

UtopianGames

100% Gamesalad! but thanks if it was a compliment.

How'd you do the curves (unless I missed something and we now have pixel collision in GS)?

iPhoneDevForMe

This game looks amazing! Very simple but addictive gameplay!

Like Kamazar asked, how did you do the curves?

UtopianGames

The curves are pretty simple but a pain to position and get working good enough...all i did was pop in at least 5 rectangles (invisable) over the platforms to make the curves.

Even on levels with a lot of these invisable rectangles im still getting 40 fps but mostly it runs 40-60 fps so with a game like Bumps its still really smooth.

The water effect was the biggest brain basher because we wanted the Bumps to sink then float to the top then have boyancy but we have cracked it after many hours of head scratching.

I'm commenting here because I like the idea of bumping a thread called 'bumps'



It's looking great, mate! Definitely the kind of game that there's a strong market for on the app store I'd say! Best of luck!

Hey Guys,

Adding in some mini games and wondering if you have some ideas?

I have space invaders..bumps v aliens

Pump the Bump..tap the bump to increase size and catch a key before it gets beamed up

Tilt to live style...bump the Alien (alien carries keys in beam) into locks.

Any other ideas for simple mini games that would fit well with Bumps theme?

Cheers,

Darren.

giacomopoppi

well a Pachinko minigame could fit well in! :P

then you maybe could have a small minigame (30 seconds) in which you are the ball/blob/actor and you need to avoid all keys falling from the top of the scene. move by tilting left/right.

then..... mhhh..... not sure... :P are these the types of minigames you are looking for?

UtopianGames

Thanks and yes these are exactly the games im looking for.

Maybe have an alien to control and avoid the bumps falling for the tilt game.

How'd you make a PC version with GameSalad?

UtopianGames

I made PC version last year with game maker.

Could you put the alien in a bump(s)er car?
