    No problem. Anytime. I've had Max Vector for awhile and really enjoy it. Will look at the other two. Thanks for the gifts!

    You're welcome!

    Unfortunately with Max Vector there is a bug that sometimes causes the ship to "disappear" when the player removes his finger from the ship while firing... I can't fix this, as I made this game before I'd learnt to code (it's the only one of my games made with GameSalad) and the project files are no longer compatible with the newer versions of GS, so I can't update it :(

    I am thinking about re-writing it in Unity or natively, but I have other games to finish (including a new game for Mega Drive, YES, MEGA DRIVE!).

    Although, there is a fix for this... keep your ship control finger on the screen at all times! lol.

    Wow! Really great freebies! Thank you very much. I hope you do rewrite Max Vector in unity, because that is a nice game, but it would better in code. My favorite is the racing one, followed be Bogan's Run. Thank you again!

    You're welcome :)

    Yeah, Max Vector is on the "to do" list. If the next game pays the bills, I will have some spare time to re-write MV. I can't afford to do it right now as it's not a huge money spinner (never was, being a niche market) and I need to be able to eat. LOL.

    I also plan to do a port of Max Vector for Sega Mega Drive and possibly Commodore 64 too, as I'm branching into developing for older systems - partly for the learning experience, but mainly because I love classic gaming :)

    Thats great.
    Okay imP time:
    Bogan's run:
    Endless runner behind the back.
    Focus on pure distance, no coins power ups or char.s to unlock.
    I enjoyed it a good deal. Will be staying for awhile.

    Max Vector
    It is fun, but I think a V-Stick control would massively help here. The touch anywhere scheme just doesn't click well.
    Otherwise fun, hampered by control.
    Waiting on update.

    Project downforce.
    Retro arcade racer.
    Think Outrun.
    Fun, Sorry I knocked down all your billboards in new zealand.
    The controls are tight, the car is too fast for me.
    These tracks have tight turns. A slower car would make them more managable, at least for me. I am not the best racing gamer. Fun game anyway, will learn to master controls.

    These imps are based on three runs each game.
    Overall, the dev's retro style is nice.
    I like the games, tough had my issuses.
    Will appstore reveiw later, its been a night. Thanks dev.
     
  12. Had max vector from before, really nice retro shooter especially on my iphone 4. Looking forward to trying the other two games. Thxs.

    A question for the dev, your games seem well suited to have icade joystick support in them. Do any of your games have joystick support? And if not, any plans in the future for bluetooth joystick support?

    Never heard a thing about these games or this dev but I love retro themed games and the attitude of no IAP is one I can get behind.

    Unfortunately my new game is not retro and it has IAP. lol. Though the IAP is simply to upgrade to the full version. I will never charge for anything other than an upgrade to a full version, as I hate the whole idea of IAP. I have already spent around $30 in Real Racing 3 and it got to the point where I just deleted it, because I couldn't afford to play it anymore. IAP can REALLY ruin the whole experience!!!

    ^ Sadly, I have had to change this point of view, after speaking with other developers and doing a heap of research... and I do need to be able to eat. Still, the IAP is fair. I wish the market had stayed with cheap, paid games but they just don't seem to work these days... with the odd exception, of course.

    You ever think of releasing a seperate, demo version? Frankly, I ignore most apps with an "unlock" iap.
