    It's a pretty noisy game when you get it going but I think you'll like it!

    Here's a picture of the Slug... I'm capturing a game play video this morning.

    If you know anybody who wants to Beta test have them ping me:

    I'm glad you are enjoying the game! We love feedback and are constantly looking for ways to make Slug Bricks more fun.

    If any other gamers are interested in helping to build a better Sonic Slug Bricks let me know - we are getting towards the end of the beta period...

    Thanks!

    @glimmerawave, whilst playing ive notice some odd rainbow discolortations in game. took some screenshots and will attach them to this post a little later, other than that the game is awesome. I havent run into any crashes with this version, the controls are smooth, and everything is well done.

    Thanks - I would like to see the screen shots so I can fix the problem. I'm glad you like the game! I will be posting a release-ready version with final artwork (new backgrounds and spaceship) in a day or two!

    Awesome - glad you like the controls and that the game has been stable.

    Things are looking good - we'll do a final test on my new iPhone 4 tomorrow and we should be good to go!

    Slugs rule!

    Yes - *all* iPod Touches will work!

    Yup - it works.

    As you pointed out, 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touches have audio input - so when the headset (with microphone) is plugged in you will be able to activate sound-driven powerups *and* record sound effects. If the headset with microphone is NOT plugged in, or if you have a 1st generation iPod Touch, then all of the sound-driven powerups can be triggered by shaking the device. (Actually - shaking works to trigger powerups with all devices all the time).

    The only thing you can't do with a 1st generation iPod Touch (or a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch without a headset) is to record your own sound effects. But GOOD NEWS! You can still download sound effects from SoundCloud - so you will be able to customize the sound of your game.

    The first i-device I ever had was a 1st generation iPod Touch so when designing this game I wanted to make sure that the game was playable and fun on all generations of iPhone and iPod Touch.

    One thing to watch out for is that Apple ships 2nd generation iPod Touches (and maybe 3rd generation too? Does anybody know?) with headphones that do *not* include a microphone. But if you use a headset with a mic things will work. Actually if you go onto the Main Menu and try plugging and unplugging your headset-mic with a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch you will notice that the text on the bomb changes to reflect the status of audio input....

    Only a few more days now!

    If you have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod Touch you really can

    Sorry you're dropping off but thanks for the testing. You know you actually *can* do all of the sound effects stuff if you have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch. If you have a 1st gen iPod Touch then you can't record - although you *can* download sound effects that others have recorded on SoundCloud.

    But anyway thank you for testing - I really do appreciate it. Maybe catch you again on the next game!
