    Hi,

    I wanted to give you a short introduction to our new iPhone game "Whack A Foe". Here you can take a photo (or choose from image gallery) of a person you don't like (teacher, politician, class mate, your boss, your ex, etc...) and give him/her hell!

    Want to stay updated and get news on that game? Register on our website: http://www.whackafoe.com

    The latest game trailer, enjoy ;-)



    Here are some brand new screenshots of the upcoming game:

    Manage your friends and foes within a gallery:

    Extract the face out of any photo or image from your gallery:

    The main screen:

    There are different game modes planned:

    1st play against your foes. Earn points when hitting them in time. The game gets faster and faster with each level. You can define many different foes that arise randomly

    2nd game mode: beside foes, you can also define some friends. The game shows up friends and foes randomly, when hitting a friend you loose points, hitting a foe you earn points, until you reach the next level.

    The game gets faster and faster, when you proceed, try to get as much points as possible.

    The game supports the retina display of the iPhone 4, so you get nice graphics.

    There will also be a support for online-scoring and game center integration, to compete with others all over the world and to see how good you have performed.

    I hope you like it!

    What do you think? What other ideas do you have?

    The release is planned for late summer 2011

    Hi guys,

    the game is nearly finished, so I can invite you to a beta test. If you are interested in getting your hands on, please let me know and send me your UDID of your i-Device, so I can make a build for you to test.

    I am really excited to hear about your impression.

    Many greetings

    Oliver

    Whack A Foe is about to be released

    Hello,

    good news, we have finished programming on Whack A Foe and now about to release it. We are still doing some tests and will then upload the build to Apple.

    My english is not that good, for creating a real exciting text for the App-Store. Is there anybody who wants to help me, to create a cool and exciting text? That would be really great!

    Here are the features of the game:

    - Create your individual game: use any photo of a person from your camera or photo gallery and take him/her into the game. You can also record an individual sound for each person and pitch it up or down (sounds really funny)
    - Two game modes: Playing only with foes, or play with friends and foes. Friends may not be hit.
    - Hunt for Highscores and compete with other players around the world
    - OpenFeint/Gamecenter leaderboards and achievements
    - The game speed goes up with each face, that appears out of the holes.

    The most things you can see in the video in the first post of this thread.

    I would really love to hear from somebody who can help me out with the text!

    Thank you!

    Is "Bang A Foe" a good name?

    Hi,

    due to legal issues, we have to rename the game, our suggestions: "Bang A Foe"... but I don't know, if this is a good name, what do the native english-speakers think, should we use this name?

    Thanks for your reply!

    Now this is an instant buy from me :)
    whatabout "smash a foe"
    "bang" might have a sexual undertone...

    Thanks for answering...

    Do you think, that "Bang" is a bad name or a good name, cause of the sexual undertone? Would the game get less or more attention because of that? Or does this word have a negative touch? I am not a native english-speaker so I can't really estimate that :-(

    lol, i agree, though he's right 'bang a foe' would probably get more attention. :D

    personally i prefer smash a foe, its more clear about what the game is...:eek:

    I will make a new Thread for the new Game name to avoid name conflicts....

    See you there ;-)
