I am planning to release my game, Lil Smasher, soon, and I am looking for beta testers. Here is the video trailer: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Please message or email me if you are interested in joining the TestFlight team. I am particularly interested in testers who have iPhone 3, iPad 1, iPad 2, or older iPods since I do not have those devices. Thanks! Shawn
Yikes, this dropped off the front page without any beta test volunteers To be clear, I am happy to add testers with any iOS device, I just already have an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and iPad 4 so I was hoping for some testing on devices I haven't tried yet. Here are some screenshots: iPhone iPad Thanks, Shawn
This looks great. Taking the classic Angry Birds controls and applying into what seems like a pretty varied and complex puzzle game.
Thanks, guys! I've just found a bug that I'm trying to fix, so new TestFlight build will (hopefully) be ready later tonight or tomorrow. I will send an email when the new build is up. Thanks! Shawn
This game is fantastic! This is where the rock hits. Edit: I am so sorry. For some reason I can't get the pic to upload.
Thank you! Thank you, Lavender! And thanks for all the detailed feedback as a beta tester. You have definitely helped me make the game better
Submitted to App Store I've submitted Lil Smasher to the iOS App Store and I'm now waiting for review. I am implementing a "Staging" time between when the app is approved and when it will be available on the App Store. My question to other devs and possibly any TouchArcade staff that may be reading: - What should be the length of time between contacting press with promo codes and unleashing my game live on the App Store? I've read 1 week, 2 weeks, and even a month is needed to give press enough time to review and write. Thanks! Shawn
Lil Smasher has been approved for distribution in the iOS App Store and will be available (for free) on March 13th! 21 Unique Puzzles One touch controls Free to play with one 99¢ In-App-Purchase to remove ads if ads bug ya!

Congrats on making it to launch! I've kept an eye on this(from a distance) since you first posted a webplayer build on Unity's forums. I absolutely love Gary and his expressions and the game in general for that matter. Can't wait to pick it up when it launches! Congrats again and I hope it gets the attention that it definitely deserves.
Thank you for the kind words! Yes, this project has been going on for almost a year now. Lots of ups and downs. I am extremely happy to be launching
You're welcome! Yeah, I know how that is awesome that you were able to see it through to the end. Just one more week now. Can't wait!
Thanks! However, there has been a slight change in plans. While trying to generate a PR buzz for Lil Smasher I realized an undeniable truth.. I am terrible at marketing. So.. I'm happy to announce that Lil Smasher now has a publisher! Consequently, the release date is being pushed a bit. It is no longer March 13th. It should be on or around March 20th. I will post details here soon!
I was just interviewed about Lil Smasher on Shoost: Smashin it up with Lil Smasher: An interview with creator Shawn McInerney
Congratulations! This is one of my favorite games I've ever beta tested. Thank you for that! When I have the time, I'll write a nice review for you to do with whatever you want. I wish you luck & popularity!
