    Hi guys
    We are a two man team and have been working on our first project for almost two years.

    It is finally Beta O Clock! You can sign up here:

    http://tflig.ht/1iW3dKu

    A bit about the game:

    We wanted to focus on a simple one touch game play mechanic with lovely visuals and lots of appeal. The games visuals are inspired by lots of things but the foremost influence is Studio Ghibli's films. We are massive fans of Oga Kazuo's beautiful paintings.

    Tanuki Forest, sees players taking control of a mysterious forest creature as he strives to save his beloved home from the dark forces that surround it. As you fly into the forest you rescue animals which when collected join a trail behind you. Periodically you reach Shinto gates, where the animals can be left with the forest spirits and returned to safety, making it easier to fly again, or you can decide to keep the chain going making it more difficult for yourself but earning the player a higher score multiplier.

    We are going to take the game to market as free so the balance of the IAP’s in there is important to us.

     Super fun and accessible one touch controls
     Beautiful hand painted artwork
     An amazing soundtrack from the super talented monster that is Leavon Archer
     Awesome guest heroes to help you in your difficult quest
     A Shinto Shop full of forest 'treasures' that the spirits sell back to our simple hero for all of his hard work

    Thanks in advance for those who sign up and test it for us.

    Due to the restriction with Apple with are only able to sign up so many testers. Please only sign up if you have the time to play the game and are interested in giving feedback.

    I updated our screens shots:

    I've been beta testing this and it's good fun. If you like endless runners like Jetpack Joyride then it's worth a spin. It has lots of power-ups that change the way you fly. Oh, and the screenshots don't do the game justice, the graphics look amazing on screen especially when it's moving!
     
  3. Thanks to those that have signed up to give our game a test. The first build has just been sent via Testflight, enjoy!

    We really would really appreciate any feedback, feel free to post any comments here or by e-mailing us personally.

    If you wish to take part in the beta, sign up using the link in Jake's post and we'll do a new build shortly.

    Thanks again!

    This looks amazing.
    Signed up.
     
  5. Thanks, Jake has done a cracking job with the visuals. As one of our early beta testers, Chi said, it does look so much better in motion :)

    Let us know what you think when you've had a go.

    Hmm when I click the link here Testflight doesn't recognize the device, yet it does when I open testflight through other means. So I can't really join at the moment. Darn

    I'll PM my Testflight email so you could invite me that way if you would like
     
  8. That's strange, PM me your e-mail and I'll try and add you a different way.

    This games beautiful.
    Initial thoughts:
    This games going to be special.

    I kind of wish I felt like I had a little more control of my guy. The up and down coin(?) lines are kind of difficult to grab.
    Also, when my iPads low on battery I play it with the screen pretty dim. When the screens dim the spikes are hard to notice. Personally, I think if they had a different color (yellow?)surrounding than red they'd be more noticeable.

    I signed up about half hour after the very first post but haven't got any reply, nothing showing up on test flight, does that mean I've not been successful?

    Wait until they accept you. You'll get a notification email about the first build
     
  14. Hi, thanks for the reply, we think the game is beautiful, we're so pleased you do too :)

    We'll collate the other feedback and go through it all when we've (hopefully) had a few more replies.

    Thanks again!
     
  15. I have accepted everyone who has requested to join so far (although I only accepted 2 new users this morning so they haven't been sent a build yet). If you PM me your e-mail address I'll try and get you added directly.

    Is the doubler IAP working now?
     
  18. Hi, yes it does, my instructions in the Testflight e-mail were incorrect, the username you need to use is '[email protected]' (note '-' instead of '_')

    Sorry about that!!!

    Ohh cool
    I was going to pay for the doubler.

    Umm.
    So, can you clarify what I need to do?

    Nvm
    Got it

    I just had to switch to UK app atore
     
  20. As the game is still running the development sandbox you can't make IAP using your own accounts, I sent the instructions on what to do in the Testflight e-mail with the build. I'll PM them to you now.
