    We sent you an invitation on TestFlight! Can't wait to get your comments!

    To all beta testers : Do you prefer receiving multiple build with little modifications or only one massive build every week?

    One massive build :)

    I finally saw an achievement! The Game Center bugged.

    Yeah, Game Center is really buggy on iOS 7.x, even more when the app is running in Sandbox mode! We're currently in discussion with Apple to know if there's something we can do to fix this but it seems like a server bug!

    Also, we are preparing another build for you all adding some nice improvements and new "Blob Powers". There's also some tweaks on the gameplay that makes it even more harder!

    We should send it out to you on wednesday, and each wednesday you should get a new build with all the modifications! :)

    Could we maybe get some sort of warning for when the trax are about to burst out? I find them moving too fast to react to at times. This might just be my reflexes being horrible, but just wanted to throw that out there just in case xD

    Plax ? That's a brand named mouthwash in the UK.

    Like I explained before, the warnings are currently reserved to Plax spawning and patterns, so it won't be possible to add warning, as this would confuse the player. However, we will tweak their speed so they burst out slower than they do right now, I agree with you that they travel pretty fast haha, but this is part of the game's difficulty so we have to find them a good speed! :)

    Geeeeee... Should have made an extensive research haha! But we'll break this convention and now Plax will be associated to a wonderful iOS game! :)

    Hi guys! :) We have finally decided a release date for our game : May 1st! Write it down, it's gonna be epic! :D

    We've submitted a build to Apple for review, and we'll probably send another one next week to fix some other little bugs if we find some, so we'll be sure that at least one version will be approved by May 1st!

    Hope you'll enjoy our game, we think that it's mind-blowing! :)

    Have an awesome weekend!

    P.S I'll post a new Gameplay video this weekend, and the official trailer will come a little after! So stay tuned! :)

    So let me see if I got the gameplay so far.

    -Move the two plaxes to intercept bubbles but avoid trax and other plaxes.
    -If feeling bold you can intercept trax when you have exactly 5 bubbles in your plax.
    -If feeling bold you can intercept another plax AS LONG AS you have more bubbles in your plax.

    Can an enemy plax ever have 5 bubbles inside, and if so, how could you kill it?

    Absolutly, you got it all! :) However, Plax can also be destroyed if you have the same amount of dots (plaxie) inside you! And no, enemy plax can only have up to 4 plaxies, so it's always possible to destroy them!

    There's also the lasers, which are totallty fatal! And the Blob can go in a rage and shoot you around 5 trax/second! Pretty hard to avoid! :)

    And finally, the trax can make a special pattern, but I'll let you discover them! :)

    Any chance we could get 1.5x sensitivity?

    Haha thanks! 1x was too little, and 2x was too much, ya know? I guess you can just call me goldilocks
     
  18. Alright! Thanks for the notice! Good luck with the launch.

    Haha at least you know exactly what you want! ;) But seriously, that's nice to get feedbacks from different people, so this way we can make a game that fits the needs of almost every players! We've also added the option to change the sensivity in the pause menu, so you can see the difference right away and there's no need to always go back to option menu!

    Hi guys!

    After a lot of hard work (and a little delay, sorry) we finally have an official trailer for the game. Take a look at it, we think it's reaaaally epic, just like our game! :D


    We also had the confirmation from Apple yesterday that our app is ready to be released on the AppStore! Only two weeks left, be prepared!

    Finally, for the beta testers, we'll send you another build later on tonight fixing some little bugs. This will be, unfortunately, the last wednesday you'll receive a build. We'll continue to update the game, and we'll send you builds, but on a non-regular basis! Hope you liked working with us all! :)

    Share your thoughts! :)
