edited December 2015 in Announce Your Game!

Well, this is the result of a really crapy year. Starting with a Divorce (she left me for another woman!?), then dealing with a suicide attempt and last week loosing my job of 9 yrs. Well, on the positive, I had some spare time to finish is baby off. But this may also be my last published Project until I can find a new income. I had planned to get so much more done this year.

So, Please give "HEIST" a spin, it's FREE and if you could, leave a honest review on the appropriate store page.
Any feed back is most welcomed here too.

    Sorry to hear that. Your games have always been a joy to play and I'm sure this one will be no different. Love the art! Will download and review.

    @dimsdale Wow that must have been a really rough year for you, I'm really sorry to hear that. I had something similar but not as bad as your situation, try to keep positive:)!!
    I really like the idea of playing with Fiquette on a tiger like handheld device, I will give it a go and leave a review!

    In the mean time, watch this video. The nerd hates tiger electronic games, but it might just cheer you up;)

    Sorry to hear all the bad news, I think bad year is putting it mildly! Love the look of the game though, I'm old enough to have played games like that first hand so this looks awesome. Going to check it out for sure.

    Best of luck in 2016, things HAVE to get better!

    Yeah your year was crap. I will download and leave a review......

    Too bad she didn't take my wife with her.

  • GnarlyGnarly canadaMember Posts: 840

    Great game. I love those old games.
    Good luck in the new year.

    Toughen up and move on to bigger and better things. Go out, breathe some fresh air and screw everything that moves and has 2 legs (thats what i did). Head up brother.

    Damn ! I though I was having a difficult year (dropped a boiled egg on my foot mid June, made a couple of basic trigonometry mistakes in early September), I think you are underselling it with 'crapy year', sounds like a lot of trouble to me !

    I really doubt you'll struggle too long to find a new income considering the talents (both technical and aesthetic) it takes to piece together (and deliver!) an app like Fiquette - and the majority of the skills are highly transferable to other areas.

    Thanks for all the kind words people. I probably should have left out the life rant :) Just loosing my job this time of year really topped it off.

    May the Force be with you all

    @Dimsdale,

    Don't worry about the life rant. Sometimes it's nice to have a chance to vent a bit. And hang in there, man. Trust me when I say that everyone has sh*t to deal with. As I've already said here in the forum, "when going through hell, keep walking".

    As for the game, I love the LCD concept. I've toyed with the idea of doing something in that vein, a la Game & Watch. The fact that the phone has no physical buttons lends itself to this concept pretty well. And the beeping sounds... everything about this app is nice and cohesive.

    Regards,
    Marcos

    Installed it on my phone. This game is awesome! Had me grinning even before pressing start.

    I do have one suggestion for an eventual update. Keep the score displayed until a new game is started; I knew what the score on my first game was because it was the high score.

    @dimsdale I grabbed it for my iPod and showed it around to some of my more design-oriented and retro-game oriented co-workers. It got a consistent thumbs up. The one that usually nitpicks the most just smiled and said 'it's so nostalgic' then cranked the volume. After a bit he said it would be cool if there was a line of these games.

    LOVE THIS! Any game that can take me back to feeling like a 10 year-old playing a favorite game is a winner in my book.

    Please keep making games! :)
