    Great job!

    Just played the PC and Mac version and this is a very cool concept.

    I must say that it almost seems that the controls will be MUCH better and more natural feeling on the iPod version

    This game is perfect for the iPod. Playing with a mouse was OK, but playing with a laptop trackpad wasn't all that great (then again, what game is?)


    Awesome job, hope it's submitted soon as this is on my list!!!

    Thanks for your feedback man, and I am glad you already liked the PC/Mac-version. We put really much effort in improving that one with much better graphics and a really improved gameplay.

    You are right about the controls thats why we directly decided to launch the game for iPod/iPhone.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    we got further in the production of Somersault and implemented the enemies. Please watch our new video were you can see the latest progress and the first enemies.

    Unfortunately we will not be able to release the game in the next week. Therefore we had to move the launchdate to end of December. I hope you all can wait a little longer but we want to release a 100% finished game. There were too many ideas we wanted to implement :)

    Enjoy the video and stay tuned!

    Thanks for all the great feedback we got from you. Somersault seems to have already a lot of fans who are excited about our game. We started a facebook group for all those who are interested in Somersault and the story of Flip Fullfeather. Please join our group and become an official fan of Somersault :D

    Thanks!

    Hi colorsound,

    unfortunately we were not able to finish the game yet. We had some problems in the production process and again we added some new ideas. For those reasons we have to postpone the release date to February 2010. We hope you guys can understand that but this is our baby and it has to be perfect :)
    We are really sorry and believe us that we cannot wait to release the game to see how much you like it.

    Until then we wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    Somersault on iPad?

    Hi!

    We were excited about the release of the new iPad and that it will be compatible with iPhone apps. But we were wondering how especially 2D games will look on a bigger screen… Somersault should work fine as the whole game is 3D but we are not sure if the processor of the iPad is strong enough to let the games run smoothly on a higher solution.

    What do you think or did you hear anything about that?

    We published two more tracks of the game on youtube! As we want to produce a high class game in all aspects we hired a professional musician and DJ from Berlin for the sound part. His name is Fabian Gatti. If you are interested in more of his work please visit his myspace site!

    The songs are from the last (still secret) level and the sea world.



    We also started a developer blog for the last time of the production of Somersault. Here we will show you a little bit about us and our studio.

    Cheers!

    At the end of the video it says coming to iPhone, iPod, and iPad

    This means we are getting an HD version of the game right?
