Dungeon Tap 1.0 - Ready for Sale - Promo Codes Available!

General (non-technical) New Apps / Works in Progress
#1


We’re pleased to announce that our 3rd Corona-made game is finally Ready for Sale in the app store. It’s called Dungeon Tap.

You can read more information about it on the official iTunes page:

Here are some screenshots I shared previously (click to enlarge):
Dungeon Tap 1.0

PROMO CODES:

In the past, I just posted some promo codes which were taken very quickly, but I posted them under the condition that I get a rating/review in the AppStore. Unfortunately, most people who took codes didn’t provide a rating/review, so this time I’m doing things a little different.

IF you’re willing to leave a rating/review in the AppStore (it’s easy, in fact, there’s a button in-game that says ‘Rate Dungeon Tap’), then please send an email to: jb.11xi85 [at] gmail.com and I’ll be happy to send back a promo code asap! And contrary to what some believe, yes, you CAN redeem them from your device with the built-in App Store app.

If you tried it out, feel free to let me know what you think via email or as a reply to this thread! And for those new to Corona, I suggest downloading it to see yet another example (among the many from other members and myself) of what the Corona SDK can produce… and this is only the beginning :slight_smile:

Here’s the iTunes link once again:

Still need more ratings/reviews in iTunes (not asking for 5 stars, just honest ratings), and I have promo codes still available… anymore takers? [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8120[/import]

@jonbebe

Congratulations and good luck !
Consider better sound effects and onButtonPress animations/sounds, for the next version.

Just five-starred the app and wrote a review (will be visible after more reviews have sent).

Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely keep it all in mind for version 1.1… I’ll definitely re-consider the sound fx as well.

So far so good with sales… [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8365[/import]

Hello I downloaded your game. I am trying out Corona for the first time this is the 30 day trial I can’t even get a project going I have tried following the guide in the website and tried watching the Youtube videos again but nothing. Can someone help? [import]uid: 8511 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8419[/import]

looks awesome Jon! video shows some smooth gameplay! Nice!

I sent you an email requesting a promo! I’ll be sure to review too. [import]uid: 10361 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8546[/import]

#12

I sent everyone who requested a promo code.

UPDATE: Almost finished with the update. We improved it by A LOT… I’ll have a high quality gameplay video posted here once it’s complete (while it’s Waiting for Review). Don’t worry, it won’t be another cam-on-cam video this time.

So if you downloaded it, please keep it on your device until the update is approved!

Thanks for all who submitted a rating/review so far, I really appreciate it. Anymore takers? [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8547[/import]

@jon

I’ve been tinkering around with the game a bit more, and though I’m not much of a fan of Doodle Jump’ers in general, I have to say the gameplay in your game is pretty smooth and comparable. I know you said you have a major update coming, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out! Good job once again.

BTW, I’ll wait to rate in the new version :slight_smile: [import]uid: 10361 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8823[/import]

#14

Thanks! The new version is very close to being complete… It’s a much more complete game now, much better overall.

If you want, you can rate it now and also rate the new version… You’re allowed to submit a rating/review for each version and they all count towards the total–whatever you want to do.

Remember, for anyone who downloaded it, be sure to keep it installed so you can let me know what you think of version 1.1 when it’s released! Once it’s complete, I’ll post a video of it in action. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8824[/import]

@jonbeebe,
I just bought Dungeon Tap and it’s a lot of fun. Maybe I really suck at these types of games, but I keep dying very early in the game. :smiley:

I’ll post a rating shortly! Nice work!!!

One other thing, I have to close the app every time the share to facebook screen comes up because the login keeps failing and there is no close or cancel button. You might want to take a look at that… [import]uid: 8194 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8863[/import]

#17

@dknell: Thanks for purchasing and for leaving a rating! Don’t worry, the version I’m working on at the moment already addresses the Facebook web-popup closing issue, and makes the whole Facebook integration easier to bypass if that’s not your thing.

I also made a ton of gameplay changes/improvements/additions (the platform scrolling speed is also much slower to make the game easier).

I’m really excited to get this new update out there, it’ll be done really soon though, so don’t delete the app off your device just yet!

Thanks again,

Jonathan Beebe [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8864[/import]

Wow!!! That icon is going to look GREAT in New and Noteworthy!!! :slight_smile: The video looks really nice too? Can’t wait to play the new version.

BTW - how did you do the video of a tilt-based game without using a camera? Did you put a hidden touch-controller or keyboard controller in your game for the video? [import]uid: 8194 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8875[/import]

#19

@dknell: Unfortunately I missed my opportunity for New and Noteworthy, but I submitted the game to OpenFeint’s Free Game of the Day again (which worked wonders for Doodle Dash!) so I’m hoping for Dungeon Tap to be approved.

As far as the video goes, I actually had to resort to using a jailbroken device and an app called DisplayRecorder … it’s the only app that’ll record videos with support for OpenGL (so it produces decent framerates recording games, even though the framerate is still a little slower than the real thing).

It was really my only option for recording a video of a tilt-based game WITHOUT using a cam. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8888[/import]

Scratch the OF achievements for this version, I guess they don’t work in Game Edition 2010.109 (I saw another thread about it, and I did extensive testing myself–Achievements don’t work).

So unless a new GE release comes out before this update is approved, no achievements this time, but all the other new additions/changes/fixes still make 1.1 much better. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2710 reply_id: 8982[/import]
