    UPDATED: Thanks to all our beta testers for testing and helping us refine the game. We're now ready to submit KatchUp to the appstore and if all goes well we should see Katchup in the appstore 2 weeks from now!

    We're finally ready to unveil our next game to everyone here at TA!

    First off, the game is called Katchup and you play as a bottler, if that's an actual word :) or occupation, HA! Your job is to bottle as many bottles of ketchup ( !! hint hint - the name katchup !!) and not screw up.

    The game is easy to pick up and there's two parts to the main game, you start off by flicking stuff that doesn't belong in the vat off the top conveyor, as you collect more tomatoes, the vat meter goes up. When the vat meter is full, you flip the switch and off you go, the bottom conveyor moves and bottles start coming in.

    The second part of the game requires you to fill up the bottles with ketchup as the bottles appear. Control the nozzle left and right by swiping left right, and dispense ketchup by pressing the dispense button.

    We've also thrown in a physics engine that takes care of moving, flicking and knocking things around, beware of a propelling duck or TV and make sure that nothing other than tomatoes goes into the vat. Discover more fun objects as you bottle more & more and be the top bottler of the year!

    We're starting to accept beta testing for KatchUp!, so anyone who is interested PM me with the following information, if you have participated in this thread, we'll PM you soon to get those information:

    Email Address
    Your Device ID
    Device Type
    Device OS
    Also if you have a Twitter/Facebook account, that's even better!


    New video updated!!

    Here's some screenshots!

    So we need your help, we've designed 3 renditions of the game icon and help us by telling us which icon you like most.

    We feel that this game has a very unique game play and is not like most iPhone game genres out there, TD, Line Drawing, 3rd people shooter, platformers, etc... This game will promise to be fun, entertaining and educational too (urg... maybe .. :) ) but if you are an avid iPhone gamer, we like you to help us make this game as fun and entertaining. "How can I help?". Well, we really appreciate everyone's participation in this thread discussion, comments, feedback, etc. And finally we need beta testers soon!

    So here's the thing, we're gonna start reveal details to the game bits by bits for now, plus it will be fun just to have people take a shot at guessing what sort of a game it is, getting into the suspend and very thing.

    As we progress, we will update this thread with more info, screenshots, video, etc. If you would like to beta test, participate in the discussion here and if we think you have the potential to be a kickass tester, we'll get you setup to be a beta tester.


    ++++++++++++++++++ UPDATED ++++++++++++++++++++++
    So without further ado, here's a screenshot!

    Here's another graphic for part of the game. First to guess how Rubber Ducky plays in the the game get a promo code for smackBOTS. So no one has correctly guessed how Rubber Ducky plays in our new game but no worries, here's another game object to play with. Same deal, guess how does the hammer play in the game, have fun!

    Adding another puzzle to the game! Introducing our newly built machine interface THE BOTTLE MASTER 3000!

    [​IMG]

    TouchArcaders are going wild with guesses on how these objects will play in the game and here's a few that we personally love the most - right or wrong!

    The rubber ducky is perhaps a bonus item on the conveyor belt. Grabbing him will give you extra time?

    "item on the conveyor belt" is partially correct, since there's 2 conveyor belt. But the rest is wrong. Keep trying! You're pretty close.

    "does he attack you?" chuckling away.. sorry that made us laugh non-stop.. but no he doesn't attack, he's too cute to do that.

    "He is on a package? is he the thing on the bottle? " - Nope, we love Rubble ducky, it's too cruel to bottle him.
