    Hi,

    I just finished an iPhone game I was working on the last months and would like to share it with you.

    Trailer:


    Some facts about the development process:

    - all game graphics were created on the iPad with a pixel art editor, interface graphics like the control buttons were done in Photoshop.
    - I used Bfxr for sound effects (http://www.bfxr.net)
    - ParticleDesigner for particles and GlyphDesigner for fonts
    - Also TexturePacker for spritesheets

    Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

    Trung

    Looks good looking at the screens. But having trouble opening the video links. Play button doesn't respond.

    I noticed you said "iPhone game" in the first post. Is this gonna be iPhone Only or will there be a universal/separate iPad version?

    Currently the game is iPhone only, I am working on an iPad version and plan to release it as an universal app.

    The other players are your nakama and fight with you on their own. The idea behind this is that every nakama you save in the story mode, will fight with you one by one in the story mode and all at once in the endless mode.
    So the more nakama you save in story mode the higher score you will probably reach in the endless mode. If you look at the gameplay video at 2:00 you will notice that the two nakama I just saved before now appears on the main screen too :)

    I really love what I'm seeing in the video, though I might wait for the Universal version. Waiting might be rough. :p

    @Cynuyt Money is only relevant in endless mode and can be used to buy upgrades for health, power slash damage and power mode duration.

    @AnarKitty Thank you! I am making some good progress on bringing Nakama to the iPad, so it might be ready before the review process :)

    Crescent Moon will be publishing this one, and we've done a few little tweaks.
    One major thing though - this will have iOS7 controller support! :)
