Brief Description

Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be James Bond, Jack Bauer or any other awesome person that manages to save the day just in the nick of time? Now is your chance!

Fuze gets rid of all the actual difficulty and danger of defusing bombs and just leaves in the cool part where you get to save everyone.

You will earn more points, which can be thought of as a digital version of awesomeness, by waiting till the last second before defusing the bombs.

** Features, Benefits and Cool Stuff **

* Fast paced action that requires you to tap stuff.
* Glorious handdrawn artwork fit for the best fridge doors.
* Bombs and explosions!
* Three different game modes and more coming soon.
* Local multiplayer on your iPad!

Looks AWESOME!

Love the graphics. Did you draw those using a tablet Graham? (If you do not mind answering sure)

The trailler on youtube is great too! How did you get “hands” playing looking so real? :slight_smile: Did you record someone else playing it?
Congratz!

Glad you like the look! I drew all art by hand on giant paper ( I have sheets of bombs/buttons all over the place :slight_smile: ) and only after all that did it hit me that I could have just used my iPad for that. Would have saved all the scanning and approximately half a forest :slight_smile:

The hands are provided by this awesome and free app - http://wonderwarp.com/phonefinger/ - you can change the size of the hand and also have a female one :slight_smile: [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16619 reply_id: 62067[/import]

No worries, hope it helps! It certainly helped me as I didn’t have to film my own hands :slight_smile: [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16619 reply_id: 62121[/import]

Fuze was just selected as Gaming App Of The Day on Kotaku - http://kotaku.com/5853467/fuze-lets-you-play-around-with-throbbing-bombs-and-premature-explosions - will be interesting to see if it affects the sales at all. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16619 reply_id: 63586[/import]

That tell you that you do not need an expensive graphics art to make a great app! Great job!

I also want to make a multiplayer game only on the iPad (because of the screens size of course). I see that your app is universal. How did you make sure the multiplayer mode is only available to iPad even so it maybe running on a iPhone?

Thanks and congrats! I wish I cannot finish my own app as you did.

Yup, definitely don’t need expensive graphics. They might help though :slight_smile:

In my Game Mode Select screen I only show the Multiplayer mode button if the device is an iPad. I’m not sure what I will do with the Android version as I don’t think I can just check if the device is a tablet or phone, unless anyone has some ideas?

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it

I do not think just looking at screen size would work since there is so much different screen size on the Android plateform…

In any event good luck on your app!

Yea that’s what I thought, an idea I had was to be able to check if the device can make phone calls. But I don’t think we can do that.

Thanks! I will be reporting back with news tomorrow if the sales have changed at all after the post. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 16619 reply_id: 63610[/import]
