    Hi guys!

    After our flash physics balance puzzle game called Perfect Balance got a pretty warm welcome in flash games sites around the world we decided to create a special version of the game for iPhone/iPod Touch: Over 60 new puzzles, better graphics and controls, and an unlockable bonus mode. Now the name is Perfect Balance: Harmony. Inferno and Perfect Balance 2 are in production. ;)

    For more info, news and the flash version of the game, please check out our www-site: http://www.ttursas.com

    We just need to do some paperwork, and the game should be out next week!

    Yes but only much better. ;) In Super Stacker (2) you can't see the shapes that are coming (some numbers wtf?!), you need to stack them in the given order, and you cannot rotate them. Pretty limited to my taste. :p

    Topple with better controls? :) Depending on the price I might get it upon release.

    Thanks for the support, man! ;) And the price shouldn't be a show stopper, the game is going to be _almost_ free. ;)

    Apple sure thing is taking their time, the game's status has been "pending contract" for over a week now. The game was complete on 1st of March, and I submitted it 4th of March...

    Anyway, while waiting for the game to come out, we quickly put together a 30 level level pack (flash 9). Perhaps too quickly (two evenings) as we missed a couple of bugs. But I'll fix those later today. Just love those Kongregate players keen on whining about every small detail. ;)

    Anyway, back to making the sequel to Perfect Balance iPhone, even though the first part hasn't been released. XD

    Nice nice nice

    Apple still hasn't approved our contract, or it still says "pending contract" on the iTunes Connect page. Really fun. Love it. Apple is spending more time on approving the contract than we did on making the game.

    Anyway, while we wait for Apple to make a few clicks, here's another 40 levels of Perfect Balance for flash. Really easy levels this time.

    Seems like Perfect Balance for iPhone is gonna be out in April. Or so I hope.

    You did fill in all the relevant information within the Contracts link in iTunes Connect right?

    You need to fill in the Contact Info, Bank Info and Tax Info before they even start to process your paid contract.

    Yes, I've filled everything they have there, got an EIN from IRS via phonecall, all that, even filled and sent the Japanese tax papers and App Store icon contract thing contract. For some reason they deleted a couple of weeks ago my contact info I had written there, it showed a red cross, but I retyped all the stuff back in...

    I tried emailing their tax department (using the email they have on that iTunes Connect tax page), but no response. I wish I could do something here to speed up the process. And I'd love to know what's wrong... But without any feedback from the Apple I'm feeling really negative at the moment. :confused:

    Yep, Apple, the behemoth that it is, can't even handle simple time-sensitive materials. I'll be looking for the game when released; hopefully not 3 months from now:p

    Finally I got a reply from their tax department, and they said everything should be ok. I just wonder what's taking so long then... :confused:

    ;) Yeah, well, I guess we can finish Perfect Balance: Inferno for iPhone with 100 new levels (kinda like Perfect Balance 1.5) before Apple manages to do two or three mouse clicks and approve our contract... And we already have some levels for Perfect Balance 2.

    Ok, we have 120 levels already in Perfect Balance: Inferno, and the game should be done and complete at the end of this week, latest next week.

    And I just checked Perfect Balance: Harmony's iTunes Connect page, now it says "Ready for Sale"!!! Yahoo!!! XD Cannot find the game in the App Store yet, but should be there pretty soon! Sweet! <3
