Violet Storm - Neon-Glow Space Shooter, Universal

[SCSGames]

Low bandwidth Version | Pop Up


Hi guys,

Last time when we were releasing Train Titans we hinted at something kinda-cool (or so we thought) that we had coming up. We've been working hard at it ever since, and today, we can show you the result of all that work. It's called Violet Storm, and it's a crazy, over-the-top, no-holds-barred neon-glow space shooter.

The goal was fairly simple - to make a quick game anyone can pick up, blow up hundreds of enemies, relax, take their mind off things. At least, that's what it accomplishes for us.

There are no levels or puzzles here - just an infinite number of different and increasingly powerful waves of enemies coming at you, and a corresponding set of increasing powerful weapons to ward them off. And when you shatter approaching enemies to pieces, they make an incredibly satisfying glass breaking sound.

BETA TESTERS NEEDED!
While we think Violet Storm is a great little shooter (naturally), we also think it can be an incredible one - but only with your help. This is why we're looking for beta testers starting right now. Once you sign up, please send us *any* comments and suggestions you have. Not just bugs, though of course those are welcome, too, but anything you would change in the game - and the crazier, the better.

If you want to participate, just send an email to support at sadcatsoft.com or use the contact form on our website.

Cheers!

Forgot to mention a couple of things that may be useful:

1) If you're contacting us about participating a beta, can you please also include your UDID for the device you're going to be running the beta on? It just saves on emails back-and-forth. Thank you.

2) Since not everyone is going to be watching the video, the currently planned release date is March 29th, if App Store gods cooperate.

Are you guys going to be using testflight? It seems to make the process easier.

this game looks like it will be fun! I've never beta tested a game before, kinda curious though

This looks great.

You should post a recruit link from Test Flight.

I will certainly give it a whirl

Thanks for the tip, guys. I've heard of TestFlight before, but have never actually tried it - and having just done so, it does seem like a *very* convenient way to do things.

Here's the link to beta-test through them: http://bit.ly/zGQ7Pm
We don't have a build there right now, but we'll upload one shortly.

Take these claims as granted. This game is fast paced and intense twin stick shooter. Very fun to play in short bursts but the lack of modes should be addressed to give the game more replay value (other than highscore).

Another plus side is the over-the-top weapons . Missiles and lasers are extremely cool to watch and use.

One aspect of the game I don't understand is the icon - the featured ship does not appear in the game. I wish it did because the icon-ic ship looks cool .

I sent you a message with my UDID on your contact form. I used my ipod email, shotage*****@****.*** to sign up. I did have a problem trying to download the TestFlight Build. It was not set up for my Ipod Touch 4th Gen running iOS 5, according to the site. Or maybe you haven't uploaded the build yet. Shame, I wanted to try it over dinner tonight. It looks like Geometry Wars but better since we have all those fun power ups.

I'll keep looking on my email or on TestFlight.
