    The relaunch version of Omicron will soon be available on the App Store!

    EDIT: Omicron and Omicron HD are coming to iOS on June 14th

    Owners of Omicron (/HD) will receive the new version with the next (2.0) update.

    About Omicron and Omicron HD:
    ====================
    Omicron is a color reaction game for 1 or 2 players on the same device.
    Eliminate tiles and earn bonus time as the difficulty increases.
    Omicron offers 3 game modes, many power-ups and achievements.

    A color appears at the beginning of each level.
    Tap tiles while they show up in that color to win.
    Discover the 3 different game types of Omicron:
    - CLASSIC
    - ARCADE
    - VERSUS

    - C L A S S I C -
    Eliminate all of the tiles while they appear in the right color
    and finish the level before you run out of time.
    You lose time with each mistake you make.
    You win time for every correct tap you make and
    time gained is transferred to the next level .
    This helps you to reach higher levels.
    Speed increases level by level.

    - A R C A D E -
    In this mode, there are no single levels.
    The rate of color changes increases
    contstantly while eliminated tiles respawn.
    For each mistake you make you lose one life.
    Without extra life bonus the game is over after just five mistakes.

    - V E R S U S -
    Play Omicron with a friend on just one device!
    Eliminate all tiles while they appear in the right color.
    The first player with 3 points wins the match!

    Omicron comes with Game Center leaderboards
    and many achievements to unlock.
    We appreciate your feedback!

    About the relaunch:
    ===============
    Omicron was first released in 2010 and featured by Apple as
    "New and noteworthy" and in "What we play".
    After some time our sweet little app started collecting dust and
    almost passed out of our minds. Since we still like the gameplay idea
    we decided to create a relaunch version.
    The most obvious change is the complete redesign.
    We also added a combo scoring system, new power-ups and 2 new game types:
    Arcade Mode with respawning tiles and the Versus Mode for 2 players.
    The Versus Mode is a fair split screen match (on the same device).
    Gamecenter integration , retina- and widescreen support will also be
    part of the 2.0 update. Stay tuned ;)

    Hi everyone!
    Right now we're working on a gameplay trailer while the final version of the game is starting to take shape.
    The trailer should be available within the next two weeks.

    Stay tuned!

    Cheers,
    Nemo (Canupa)

    Omicron's App Icon

    [​IMG]

    Here is our final icon for the game! After experimenting with different colors we think this icon does the best job of representing Omicron. It's is all about colors so it should have a colorful icon! ... Hope you like it!

    Expect the trailer within the next week ;)

    All the best,
    Nemo (Canupa)

    Omicron Arcade Mode Screenshot

    [​IMG]

    This is a screenshot of the ARCADE MODE in Omicron.
    Cleared tiles will respawn and color changes become faster over time.
    With each mistake you make you lose one of these little hearts/lives in
    the upper right corner. 5 mistakes = game over.
    The Arcade Mode comes with separate highscore lists and achievements.

    Versus Mode

    Thanks ;)

    Right now we're working on making the VERSUS MODE as fun as possible.

    Here's a little screenshot:

    [​IMG]

    The versus mode is a split screen match of Omicron.
    Both players get the exact same Omicron tiles. The tiles get locked for 2 color changes if your opponent is faster than you.

    You can find more screenshots on our homepage.

    Stay tuned,
    Nemo (Canupa)

    Coming soon..

    Okay guys... after some unexpected "real-life stuff" interrupted the development process of Omicron (for a few weeks) we can now start working on the game again.
    We are almost there! Some minor polishing and testing has to be done and we can finally publish "our precious" (Gollum voice).

    So please stay tuned...

    New Omicron Screenshots

    We're in the final testing phase of Omicron and will probably submit the game next week... In other words: a release in June is most likely :) Stay tuned for the exact date...

    Here are some new screenshots:

    Waiting for review...

    "Omicron" and "Omicron HD" are now uploaded and waiting for review :)
    The iOS versions of the game will soon be available for download on the iTunes App Store. People using Android will have to wait just a little bit longer until we've made all necessary modifications.

    Now we're just waiting for the Apple reviewers to do their part and right after that we'll tell you the exact release date! Pretty sure it will be in June ;)

    Thanks,
    Nemo (Canupa)

    I thought this was "Omikron" the PC title perhaps getting ported and got a lttle giddy... Then disappointed... Then interested! I will have to check this out when it releases!

    Omiwhat?

    Nope...
    I have to admit that I didn't know The Nomad Soul until your post.
    Just saw some gameplay videos on YouTube.
    I will definitely check it out - looks like a real piece of history!
    We also couldn't afford David Bowie for the game soundtrack
    but our musician "SQU!L" is at least equally talented...
    You can find a lot of his music for free on bandcamp.

    Hope you will like our game despite the confusion ;)

    Enjoy,
    Nemo

    iPhone Screenshots

    This is what Omicron looks like on the iPhone:

    [​IMG]

    And the VERSUS mode on the iPhone looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    Because the versus mode is a split screen match, we had to decrease the number of tiles to 10 per player (instead of 16 per player on the iPad).
