The Balls! Website: http://theballsgame.blogspot.com/ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/SavantGames Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/theballsgame Description Hardcore sports Coach Timmins wants you to juggle as many sports balls as possible to prove your worth! Bounce different balls (soccer, basketball, bowling, and more!) a number of times until they burst! Be careful not to let them drop, or Coach Timmins will give you a verbal whipping! The balls are physics enabled and can bounce against each other for a bigger challenge. Tap the balls to bounce them up, or flick them in a direction for more precise control. Bounce them as late as possible for a higher score and crits! And watch out, sometimes the coach will lob a grenade at you to make sure you are paying attention! Features: -2 game modes: Classic and Balls mode (no time limit, score as high as you can!) -5 different types of balls (and more to come in future updates!) -Juggle different types of sports balls to get the highest score -Flick them up for more control -Open Feint Leaderboards (compete with your friends!) -Open Feint Achievements -Game Center enabled with Achievements and Leaderboards! Seamless integration with Open Feint! Here are some awesome comments from early beta testers! The Balls! Trailer Screenshot madness!
Out of all the games like this I have played on the iPhone this one looks pretty good. I am curious whether or not Apple will reject this due to the game icon.
LOL @ sekazi Seriously I didn't notice until you pointed it/them out.. great looking game nonetheless
Hahah yeah I had a blast when my artist came up with that icon, it was perfect. Will Apple let it slide, I'll see. I'll have a backup app icon if that one gets rejected. But really, why would it get rejected, it's just a pair of sports balls in a net?
Yeah that's true, but it's sooooo damn hard getting noticed on the AppStore, any kind of publicity will help me Not having a huge marketing budget really hurts for sure. Oh and if you guys like it, go to the Facebook page and "Like" it. I'm trying to build up the viral-ness, any little bit helps me!
New Coach Artwork! Here's some work-in-progress for the Coach! Art from the wonderfully talented Ludwin Cruz: http://www.lcruzdesign.com/
Yeah I have already integrated GameCenter through Open Feint. They are both in sync so if you post a score on the OF leaderboard, it also gets posted to the Game Center one. And if you have a device that is pre-iOS 4.0, you will post your scores to Open Feint only. That way everyone shares leaderboards and achievements regardless of the device OS they have!
My headline used to be 'BLOW YOUR WAY TO WORLD DOMINATION'. Our new game is about trapping enemies in bubbles and blowing them away via spinning petals. Obviously, I had to change it. I also had to change another line in the bonus game called 'TRAP AND BLOW'. Now called 'TRAP AND TAP'. Not as catchy but i guess it'll do! LOLz It's still in the trailer though if anyone wants to check it out
Wow Apple is pretty harsh! They flagged the text as inappropriate or obscene? I know "Balls" has been used in a quite a few games, so I think I'm safe for that. Yeah the App Icon is "risky" for sure, but I have other app icons that I can get produced if needed. My current icon I hope can create more buzz, so I'm willing to take the risk of being rejected
Actually it was decision on our end to change the copy Didn't mean to alert you! Hope the icon goes through.
