    How fast can you think? How nimble are your fingers? Frantic Fingers will put you to the test! Frantic Fingers is a collection of three second mini-games in rapid succession. Under guidance from a brief instruction, you must figure out the objective of each presented scenario with a slide, tap or spin of your finger! You earn points by figuring out how to clear each scenario and will lose a life if you fail to do so or if time runs out. The difficulty level increases with your score, and you can compete against your friends and other players on the Game Center leader boards. Can you react quick enough to earn a score worthy of the #1 rank by playing through 60 mini-games.

    This game draws heavy influences from the WarioWare series – in particularly WarioWare: Touched! for the Nintendo DS. We thought the touch-based mini-games would be perfect on iOS and the style of gameplay is very fitting for the predominately casual market of the AppStore – and thus, Frantic Fingers was born. Although iOS devices support multiple touch points, Frantic Fingers (for the most part) was designed with single finger gameplay in mind due the appeal of the simplicity.

    Looks fun, and judging by the screenshots fairly creative! :)

    Thanks for your interest guys :)

    It's creative to a degree I guess. The foundations of the gameplay haven't strayed too far from its inspiration, but I've tried to make most of the individual scenarios as creative as I can. With some notable exceptions - 'break the targets'. Haha.

    Game Delayed until Mid-May

    Hi all!

    Unfortunately due to that thing known as 'life' getting in the way of things, Frantic Fingers has been delayed until mid-May.

    Hope no-one is too disappointed by this :p

    Game Denied!

    Unfortunately our game was denied for the AppStore as it featured an iPod looking device in one of the mini-games. We have altered the design of this graphic and are resubmitting ASAP.

    Looks great! Good luck on the launch! I'd happily test a build, but It's completely optional.

    Couple of questions:
    Will we be able to "unlock" and play only specific minigame, like in Warioware inc for GBA ?
    Will there be minigames for 2 players ?
    Price of game ?

    Looking forward to it :)

    Do you have TestFlight for your iOS device? Currently that is the only way we can distribute it. If you have it send me a message and I will try and figure out something for you :)

    There is a 'Mini-Game Mode' which has all 60 games available from the start for you to practice on each difficulty level. You can earn achievements by "mastering" a certain number of mini-games in this mode :). A little crown icon appears on mini-games you have completed on all 4 difficulty levels.

    Currently the game is only single player, but if there is enough interest we will be releasing free updates of mini-game packs. I can't see any reason not to consider 2-player mini-games in the future. I actually hadn't even considered that yet but what a fantastic idea! If we do develop 2-play mini-games I will be sure to mention you inspired that idea.

    The game will be $0.99, with no extra In-App-Purchases.

    Thanks for your interest!

    Thank you for answers and kind words, even though you should mention Nintendo as inspiration , not me ( or not , because they might ask you to put in banners that advertise their games :p )
    About 2 players games ( on same device or with GC ) I was thinking about something like this from Warioware:
    http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=_5LtE6x5gpI&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_5LtE6x5gpI
    But obviously there can be much more unique ideas for short 2 player games on touch displays :)

    Well yeah haha. My sister and I used to play the WarioWare 2 player games like that. I remember there was one for the DS where each player would use a trigger button to play ping pong. It's definitely worth considering!
