We just learned that "Sword of Fargoal" is now featured in "What's Hot" in Games on the iTunes Store. And from the iPhone or iPod Touch, under "WHAT'S HOT > HOT NEW GAMES" — Click the banner at the top of the page! Thanks to all of you who have given us great feedback about the game. We are working on a mini-update that adds some new features and surprises, so please "stay tuned!" -- Jeff McCord, "Sword of Fargoal"
I'm convinced the Ogres are Shakespearean actors reciting bits of Hamlet with their skulls in hand and are clearly annoyed that your adventurer has interrupted their rehearsal!
Hey - congratulations from me, too! Looks like you've made it within the Appstore and it seems like you can already compete with the big corps... Just keep on the good work and show the big guys how real game design has to look like!
Congrats! Sword of Fargoal is a great game and I think it actually does many things better than my all time favourite dungeon roamer Diablo 1. Here's a silly comic inspired by the comment and pic above
Tickled Pink "Alas, poor Yorick " We are tickled pink by your illustration!! "Alas, poor Yorick " -- Jeff McCord, "Sword of Fargoal"
Congrats! The game is outstanding! I can't wait for future updates. Love the animation, music, color palette and gameplay! Huge fan!
WOW - that's relly cool! Looks so good and is absolutely funny - so, I want another one, please. Btw., why did you devs code the following line into the game?: IF player = "Vovin" = always KILL on lvl16 THEN restart game.
Congratulations on being featured. And it's quite literal too, as I play this game for so long at a time that my iPod gets pretty hot! *rimshot* Ok, comedy fail. Seriously though, this is one of the (or possibly THE) greatest games I have bought from the app store, hands down. I hope it gets tons of publicity, visibility, and downloads so that more people can enjoy this beautiful work of art. And out of curiosity, when are you planning on bumping up the price to $5? Cause I think a good time for that would be... NOW!
Big congrats from Germany. This game belongs to my all-time top 10 now - on any console. I love this game. And I can't wait to hunt again after the update arrived. After getting the sword up I take a rest, since I already spent way too much time This game is a bomb.
Thanks so much for the nice feedback! -- Jeff McCord Also check out forums.fargoal.com for more "Sword of Fargoal" community!
Maybe I should actually go and buy that game. I still remember playing the original Sword of Fargoal years years years ago on C-64.
Ditto from another one of us from Mountain Sheep, I grew up playing countless of hours of Sword of Fargoal on the C64. My only feature request? Play the staircase sound (DU-DU-DU-DUM) the second time when going down before starting on the intermediate video. Other than that, it's pretty flawless.
Yay Mountain Sheep! You guys rule We had the stairs sound that way before actually... so maybe we'll change it back. I'll confer with the board.
