    Are u on the right track? Absolutely. Game has great potential however, with platformers like this, its all about final execution.

    Looks nice :) very clean, I would however say there is nothing that kind of unique about it that would make me buy it. If you could insert some kind of killer feature then I would be more inclined to make a purchase :)

    Great work so far though :D

    The game looks potentially good. I suppose the main areas you need to really nail are the controls and the level design. There's not much that really stands out about the app at the moment... what makes it better than the other iOS platformers out there? Also, be careful with your spelling and grammar. If you make mistakes in your marketing materials etc. it can project a less professional/polished image, which people could associate with your game (there were a few mistakes in the teaser video).

    you're right , i should look for something to make this unique , some kind of feature , i will think about that , and yes the marketing texts should be carefully chosen and checked (y)(y)

    The music of the video is stressfull.
    What make super meat boy fantastic ? -> the level design.
    Many platforme game with the same mecanics exist before meatboy. But they made their success on the level design.

    In you video, it seams that the level design is boring.

    The maniability seams good, but it's hard to tell on a video.
    good teaser.
    I like cheese :)
     
  9. Some ideas for features:

    How about a Swiss cheese where you go through one hole and then randomly come out another?

    Flying Cheese board as a craft or weapon?

    Have giant mice after you.

    How about mousetraps that let you escape from mice, but when you jump on them (and time it right) you get a super boost jump up the screen?

  11. A hover cheese board or frisbee style weapon ( you could call it a Fris-brie :D)

    I was actually having a think about that haha! but something that would make me go oh wow, that looks awesome, like epic amounts of levels / ability to powerup and become some new type of cheese with special powers :) Something like that..

    Okay sorry if that was cheesey ;)

    looks good. nice and clean. definitely very derivative, but then there's no end to that on the app store. curious if you could say what engine you used?

    you might want to go overboard and concoct some kind of compelling storyline (or hire someone to do so). Find a cartoonist or someone and get him to make you a crazy promotional animation. It won't be cheap, but you can raise the profile of your game significantly. Make a compelling world with some cute and charming characters and it does go a long way to stand out from the pack.

    More boss ideas - a giant French chef trying to slice you up.

    A supermarket manager trying to put you in a cheese slice processor. (You know, those square pieces of plastic processed cheese)

    A pizza guy with a giant cheese grater.

    Quest ideas - rescue fellow cheeses that have been captured by the above chef, pizza guy and supermarket manager.

    lol guys those are some crazy ideas
    - the character evolve with some power ups to become a more powerful cheese :D (i could do something like the star in mario or maybe something permanent that you unlock )
    -i would definitely need a cartoonist , i have a friend who can do that i just need to give him exactly what i want to not wast time :)
    - i would make another playable character that you can switch real time .
    - bosses
    -the giant rat , the french chef , pizza guy , and the super market manager are crazy ideas from you guys i would really try to do at least 3 of them
    - the quest from saw seems great for me as a visualization of finishing the levels , like at the end of each level a cheese fella that you need to save (y)

    thank youuuuuuuu
     
  16. 1) Maybe he wants to become "Head cheese" of a cheese factory.

    2) His life long ambition could be to become a wedge in a well known trivia game :D. Fame and stardom.

    3) Maybe he has to fight an evil Chinese cheese master called Fon-du. :D

    i should say that the music and the character is so funny. but i also have to say that there is nothing unique in game that pushes me to own it. ur game still need further polish.
