    Hi,

    I was about to finally submit my game Freefall when I got the message that the name Freefall is already taken - even though I can't find it in itunes.

    So I need a new name. More info on the game : http://mudloop.com/?/upcoming/iphone/freefall

    Some ideas I had are :

    - Falling
    - Extreme Falling
    - Superfall
    - Falltastic
    - Freefall : Extreme
    - Help! I'm falling!
    - Plummet

    But I'm not satisfied about them. So any suggestions are more than welcome.

    EDIT : Off course, if you find a fitting name for me, you'll get the game for free.

    Thanks!

    how about "AAAAH!!!" like in the intro of the levels. and even though the whole i____ moniker cheapens an app, how about iFell?

    Sven -

    The word that comes to mind when watching the video is "Falling" - however - that has no grab to it - is too dull. You need something spicy to grab people's attention - so AHHH might work - I thought "Endless Pain"
    or
    "Infinite Fall",
    "Things that Go Bump"
    "Headbanger"

    Don't know -Maybe I'll get an inspiration...

    Bottomless Pit

    Terminal Velocity (*actually this fits the falling and the eventual dying quite well.)

    I like that - but I would just leave it at "Bottomless" - I think that would be good.

    Terminal Velocity and Descent are already taken. (The latter being one of my all-time favourite shooters) Freefall: Extreme won't work because if the author of Freefall has a trademark on the name he can pursue legal action because yours is likely to cause brand confusion.

    Too bad Pitfall is also in use. :)

    Nasty Plunge? :D (Let's see who gets that one...)

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    iFall already exists. So does Descent, and Terminal Velocity. I like the "Aaah" suggestion, but people wouldn't remember how to spell it (how many A's wa it?). The infinite/bottomless ones would be false advertising I guess since the game does end.

    Some of the other suggestions are good, but nothing that really convinces me yet. Keep em coming!

    How about :
    - Project Freefall
    - Survifall
    - Fallic (not serious about this one)
    - Fall House (or this one either)
