No, the humble widget will only be for the pc version with a steam key. Android is not included, at least not for now... actually I might do that, so will think about that before I release it on mobile

Re: 'Chrono&Cash' Review - Arena-based Robbery on the Run

orangepascal — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:18:19 -0000

thank you! we indeed had Bomb Jack as one of the role models ;) the enemies move in Pacman-ghost like patterns, and even the starting text "who much can you rob" should remind people of the "who high can you get" from Donkey Kong ;)

I guess some game reviewers simply don't know games older then 2007.

There is iCade support ;) that's why there is a portrait mode to play the game !

oh and if you want to get strict there are two endings: get out of the cave, or do nothing and don't get out ;)

wanted to add a "died of boredom" feature when doing nothing for 5 minutes but figured nobody would get to see it.

thanks guys, Orangepascal is fine ;) officially it's not an orangepixel project (but I do have it ported to Android now, so who knows!)

Re: RIM Extends Free Playbook Offer by Two Weeks

wow, why all the whine people? you don't HAVE TO do this, but you all read FREE and you jumped on it ;)

so it doesn't take 10 minutes of your valuable time, but maybe 20 minutes, so BlackBerry isn't having the biggest market share, it's still a free gadget you get for very little time you put in with possibly earning some extra cash on a different market

You can't make money with your apps if you don't put any time into it, this is one of the easiest porting processes there is; try porting your Android code to Object-C for iPhone, there is no magic button for that and you will definitely not get a free gadget from Apple for it.

Re: StarDash Review - Dashing with the Stars with a retro flare

I usually hate seeing a game on Android with an onscreen-pause button.. I immediately know it's an iOS port :p

orangepascal — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:14:20 -0000

are there Android devices without a menu button these days? our games always pause by pressing the menu button :(

honestly influenced by it, and yes it's fast development (about 6 weeks in total)

you can walk backwards in this game ;) and it has normal controls, and no cool 3D gimmick

Re: Orange Pixel's Latest, 'Stardash,' Should Hit This Week

orangepascal — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 13:50:23 -0000

it's not a speed-run game.. you can ignore the time if you want, it's just an added challenge for those who do like it and want to unlock all the achievements and stars available

It's only a good thing if you like it! you can turn down the sound or switch off the music, but if you don't like this type of game you'd better not get it ;)

Re: The Hills Are Greener: Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Villainy?

orangepascal — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:26:26 -0000

right now it just reads as Angry birds having many copy-cats.. while the other games you mentioned are (as far as I know) original ideas getting cloned. Doesn't feel like it fits in that same row of games.

Personally, as a game developer, I don't think cloning is a bad thing. It brought us most of the games and styles we have now. Although it can certainly suck that someone else is taking all the fame and where possible fortune, for your game idea!

It's true that because Angry birds cloned that little-known flash game, it spawned new clones that in some rare cases enhance the gameplay and slowly move towards another type of game.

cloning is just evolution.. it has to happen to make sure we get new and interesting game styles.

Re: The Hills Are Greener: Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Villainy?

orangepascal — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:53:49 -0000

you are aware of the fact that Angry Birds itself is a spot on clone from Castle Clout ? a flash game that was a few years before those birds copied it ... bit silly to mention it as the game that got cloned ;)

Re: Editorial: Why the Just In section on the Android Market is good

orangepascal — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:06:38 -0000

Well written. The Just In section actually helped Meganoid get visible, and kept me updating the game every week with new levels and uploading it, knowing that it would hit the Just In section and new people would try the game.

It's very noticeable that many people have the new market and lost the Just In section, cause downloads of Meganoid have dropped from 2000 per day down to possibly 2000 per week if that.

It also made me rethink and delay the release of new game INC, because right now it means the first release has to be spot-on, with a lot of content and as perfect as possible.. cause tweaking and updating it later on won't get new people to notice it, and won't get any coverage anywhere.

Even on the Apple app store it's a missed feature, where games only get that first shot of getting in the "Whats new" section.. after that, any update you do won't get you exposure unless you are lucky to have an apple-reviewer to like the game and place it somewhere in a special list.

Special lists don't exist on Android, and the lists that are there are basically locked up with the same apps/games.. no editor to review stuff, no people picking specific "whats hot" lists or fun categories like "cool tower defense games" or "trippy arcade games"

The Just In category is a must-have list, shouldn't be hard for Google to filter out "spam" companies, cause no serious company will update 10+ games every day or even every week.

But for smaller developers that list is important, and getting your game back up in that list every week by doing some updates to your game (and improving the experience for the users at the same time) is important.

Re: Another one hit by Lodsys patent infringement. This time it's BitHack.

orangepascal — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:17:25 -0000

how many of those devs are outside usa? cause I thought they were only attacking USA devs, but bithack obviously isn't... and they dropped their suit against that vietnamese developer..

Re: 'Meganoid' For iOS Now Has Even More Content

orangepascal — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:14:05 -0000

the game is pixelart.. we will make it run in fullscreen on iPad in the future, but pressing 2X basically gives the same effect.... because "pixelart don't do hd" ;)
