Tilt-a-Bowl

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

Okay, my first iOS game is out the door! Just 72 hours in and I’m feeling pretty good–top 50 in Sports Games on the iPad and top 150 in Sports Games on the iPhone/Touch. Number 1 in the New and Noteworthy section in both Sports Game sections. (Not so lucky in the Puzzle game category…)

Here’s the blah, blah…

“Bowl like never before in this one of a kind action-arcade-puzzler with full HD graphics from classic game developer NO2 Games. This Universal HD app is compatible with the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and features 48 mind-bending levels and an Endless Mode for ultimate replay-ability.”

Just pushed a 1.01 release to Apple after customer reports of crashes on iTouch 2G and iPhone 3G. I bought an old iTouch and discovered that textures over 512px in any direction will crash the device.

So, using contentScale I was able to swap the couple of textures that were giving me the issues with much smaller ones for the 3GS and below.

I will post some code when I get a chance… [import]uid: 51498 topic_id: 10914 reply_id: 40261[/import]
