Hi Corona people,

We just released our new app -GO-, it is new for us to build a casual game, it is a unique game, where the result

is going to be a real-life take. You and your friends decide a task and the loser, is the loser.

It is a soft launch, a lot of stuff is new for us, Ads, in-app, multi-user, we have testing it for months now.

Please download and let us know what you think, we are especially curious about the registration system and the balance between the ads.

You can download it here http://www.ocgstudios.com/go/

We also have written a making-of story and are going to keep people posted on the progress.

Hey, interesting app, and it looks well designed. As noted already, keeping a blog is great work too!

In terms of constructive criticism, I fear some people would always win / always lose within certain groups, as they just have faster or slower reaction times.

I haven’t downloaded the app, so apologies if you already addressed this within it, but if not, have you thought about adding different game styles, then allowing the creator to choose the type of game. E.g. give each user four numbers and they have to tap them in order. Or a simple equation, and they have to select the correct answer from several options, or have a word and then they have to choose the word with the closest meaning (or the opposite meaning, either works), again from several options. There are plenty of quick-response mini-games you could employ.

I would think this would keep the app fresh and more interesting, and hopefully stop the same person (or people) from constantly winning.

Anyway, good work on the app!

Thanks for the kind words and reaction.

There is no rule in which you will always win, things are random, some people will have a slower reaction and maybe lose more.

The tests we have done show that it is really random so far.

We are working on adding more small games but we first wanted to release the app the way we intended it to function.

It is sort of a test case for us, if you read the making of story you know the reasons why.

Thanks again and check out the app :slight_smile:
