Hey everyone,
I’m proud to announce the upcoming release of our new indie game, ShadowArc. It’s an original rhythmic multi-touch game that pits the player against waves of colored arcs that approach the player’s circular base. The player must maneuver colored paddles around the circular base and block all the arcs to survive. The 45 handcrafted levels produce a simple but deep experience that engages gamers at all skill levels. There’s also an endless mode where players can compete for the high score through GameCenter.
Features:
* Upgrade and power up system
* Original soundtrack and sound effects
* 60 fps gameplay
* Universal app
* Retina optimized graphics
* Enhanced for the iPhone 5’s wider screen
We just submitted it to Apple so we hope to release it on November 15th. Once it gets approved by Apple, I’ll post some promo codes.
As a programmer, Corona SDK was an excellent tool for this project. It allowed me to be productive with very short segments of free time and made it really easy to iterate on game mechanics. Since I work full-time as a developer and have very little free time (wife and 2 kids), I don’t think this project would’ve been possible without Corona. Thanks, Corona Labs!
Please post any feedback or questions you might have! We would love to hear any and all thoughts, especially since this is the first game we’ve worked on as a 2-person indie team.
