I uploaded an update of PewPew. From what I read, it will probably take a week or so for the game to be available on the App Store. Anyway, PewPew now: encourages doing the tutorial when playing the game for the first time asks for confirmation when quitting a game permits the activation/deactivation of rotation during a replay makes it visually obvious to the player that he has taken a bonus has a lower amount of particles has prettier explosions puts the game in pause when a low battery alert (or a music menu pop up) appears ignores replays that can no longer be played make the difficulty increase more slowly in the "Assault" mode respects the players that are listening to their own music :) Under the hood updates: versioning system for the scores precalculation of the explosions needed models are loaded at the beginning of a game (to avoid ingame slowdowns) externalized descriptions of the game modes What I should have finished: The 3rd mode An obvious optimization to the ...

Yesterday, I made PewPew available in all countries, except the english-speaking ones (US/Canda/UK/Australia/Ireland...)

The downloads, so far.

Here is the current list of tasks I need to do before releasing an update for PewPew: force/encourage doing the tutorial when playing the game for the first time ask for confirmation when quitting a game permit the activation/deactivation of the rotation during a replay make it obvious to the player that he has taken a bonus load some of the needed models at the beginning of a game (to avoid ingame slowdowns) somewhat precalculate the explosions, and reduce the number of particules make the explosions more spectacular put the game in pause when a low battery alert appears create a versioning system for the scores i gnore replays that can no longer be played externalise the modes descriptions finish the 3rd mode make the difficulty increase more slowly in the "Assault" mode optimize [a small] part of the collision detection Green = done Red = might not be done

Overall, the ratings are decent, and the reviews are good. It is a good surprise, since this game is really not for casual gamers. I expected more people to not understand/like the game, and subsequently give it a poor rating. I expect the average rating to decrease though, as unsatisfied people uninstall the app and give it a 1 star rating.

Ca y est, PewPew est disponible sur l'appstore Francaise/Belge/Luxembourgeoise d'Apple. J'ai crée un groupe de discussion pour pouvoir parler de PewPew, là . There, PewPew is available! Since I released PewPew only in France/Belgium/Luxembourg, this post is be both in French and in English. To ask questions/talk about PewPew, go here .
