The game's website Here goes into the game options and how it play. It also has the HD version of the video which is clearer then the version these forums automatically embeds.

great work
But you should make a "back to level" menu button in the pause menu.
I gave it 3 stars in the app store ;)

nice graphics! looks like one of those quiz games you find in a bar.

Hi Everyone. I just finished developing Hangman Wild West using the cocos2D engine. The game was developed for http://www.fatspanner.com/ and http://www.bluechilligames.co.uk/

Description:
Yeeeehaaa!! Can y’all save Johnny from being hung at the Glory Hole Gallows? The classic Hangman Game is back with a wholesome southern twist. All y’all have to do is spell out the word that is being described in the hint, its’s easy! Now y’all can play it at home so there are no excuses not to help Johnny escape Sheriff Shiner.

Game Features:
Fun sound effects and animations.
Game Center Leaderboard
In-App purchase extra content packs.

A few screenies:

We've had some pretty good feedback so far and we have a few updates lined up. There is a Lite version on the way which is currently in review by Apple.

Coming Soon:
Multiplayer Game Mode
More Content Packs

yea i dont get it either... and it's not free so i cant give it a try. is there a lite version???

Look, I'll be honest - I have no idea what your game is about after watching that trailer. I know it's a rhythm game, but that's about it. I saw some dots around the edges of the screen that kept disappearing...do you tap them, or tilt the phone or what? Could be really fun, but it didn't really explain why.

My options are limited by copyright, of course. Don't let my taste stop ya from giving it a try! That's the beauty of The B.E.A.T. , playing to your taste in music, not others!

Some likely unwanted musical marketing advice: change the music!

I haven't played the game yet so I don't know if the planks/strings move but one things you may be able to do is have a timer start counting once the character has stopped moving. I would say give the player maybe 10 seconds to try and determine if the player is in fact stuck or if they are just trying to plan their next move. There's a game called "Gravity Lab" that kinda does the same thing so that after you fire the character and he potentially can get stuck in some levels a countdown timer appears and as long as the character isn't moving it keeps going down until it reaches 0 which then called the game over screen.

Hi All,

I'd like to introduce you all to my latest cocos2d based game now on the App Store, <stong>The B.E.A.T. The B.E.A.T. differs from other games in the genre because it allows you to play a rhythm game to the music in your own library rather than pre-packaged song.

From a developers stand point, coordinating real time DSP into an iphone app was a fun and interesting challenge but one that allows for a great variety of game play. cocos2d made creating the game on top of that technology one of the easier parts of The B.E.A.T.'s development!

Here is a game play video to show you the feel of the game, screenshots really don't do it justice!

More details can be found our webstite The B.E.A.T.

Or you can get it directly at @ The B.E.A.T. in the App Store

Thanks go out to riq and the cocos2d team for maintaining a great library!
Also thanks to fellow cocos2d devs QcMat and ubert for listening to me rant in IRC about the various issues that came up during development :)

:)
thank you (please do rate the app,and leave a review)
i could add the button linking to level select screen,
but then,if u implement so many options u ultimately end up making a mess,
if i add a "back to level select" instead of "back to main menu"
some1 else will be unhappy as he/she would like a direct link to main menu,
and if i add both of them,id end up cluttering the menu...its wise to keep the screen real-estate as clean as possible and also leave room for some features that may get added down the road...

Hello Dani,

Thank you for your response! We are working on trailer video currently.

Hello. Looks good. Besides explaining the game rules, a live gameplay video will help your marketing and encourage some people to buy the app, so try it out. Use another iPhone to record the video, or Screenflick, for example.

wow! nice game!!
you could maybe also add in the pause menu, going to the level select screen :)

ima give this a try :) i see you're using level helper :) is it good?

I want to remind that Virus Wars on sale since yesterday!

I'm trying to implement the Game Center Achievements in my first game. The orientation of my game is landscape left only.

What I have done so far is to change GameConfig.h as below:

#if defined(__ARM_NEON__) || TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
#define GAME_AUTOROTATION kGameAutorotationNone

#elif __arm__
#define GAME_AUTOROTATION kGameAutorotationNone

My game is then fixed in the Landscape Left orientation at all times. However, when I enter the Game Center Achievement screen from my game, the autorotation is still happening. I am a bit confused with the concept here. Could you guys please tell me why this is happening? And How can I fix this? Do I need to change anything from RootViewController?

Thanks very much in advance. I would really appreciate for your help.

addicting just like max and the magic marker XD

this is gonna be awesome! cant wait for its release...

hey thanks @tiggybouncer
but i dint see ure comment,which(country) store did u comment on?

Thank you!

I hope you will like our game!

How often do you request on twitter while the game engine is running?

Just used TK3NKEXR74AY - think all promos is gone now :o)

Hello cocos2d forum!

I'm a team leader and iOS developer in small indie game studio Dash & Dot.

I want to introduce our debut game Virus Wars™ powered by cocos2d engine.

Virus Wars™ is a board game that imitates evolution of several hostile colonies of viruses.

Key features:
• Up to 4 players on one iPhone/iPod.
• Unique and smart AI.
• Online multiplayer through GameCenter or bluetooth.
• Clear interactive tutorial for fast start.
• Natural graphics, sounds and feel.

Game rules:
Each player can make 3 steps per 1 turn from his corner. Next step can be done in the cell, which is in contact with previous cell occupied by player's cross (virus), or through a chain of enemy's killed viruses. The main goal is to kill all enemy's viruses or to bring to the situation when your enemy cannot make a move.

Screen shots:

And as a present for cocos2d community here is several promo codes. If you will use any, please, leave a message in this thread.

Fixed. The image file size had a problem fixed that it runs on old devices too.

My game is running without problem on devices with ios 4.3 and above. When i first launched the game it only ran on ios 4.3 and above.
I added the armv6 architecture manually by typing it out, to make the game run on ios below 4.3. The game is launching on devices with ios lower than 4.3 but it crashes when you select play.

It is throwing the following exception

"Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSMutableArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil object at 0'"

at this code block on the fifth line.

'
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"bushesfrontSheet.plist"];
trees1 = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"bushesFront1.png"];
trees2 = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"bushesFront2.png"];
NSMutableArray *bushesFrames=[NSMutableArray array];
[bushesFrames addObject: [[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] spriteFrameByName:@"bushesFront1.png"]];
[bushesFrames addObject: [[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] spriteFrameByName:@"bushesFront2.png"]];
CCAnimation * sketchAnimationBushesFront=[CCAnimation animationWithFrames:bushesFrames delay:0.2f];
CCAction *sketchActionBushesFront1=[CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:[CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:sketchAnimationBushesFront restoreOriginalFrame:NO]];
CCAction *sketchActionBushesFront2=[CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:[CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:sketchAnimationBushesFront restoreOriginalFrame:NO]];

[trees1 runAction:sketchActionBushesFront1];
[trees2 runAction:sketchActionBushesFront2];
'

When running on ios 4.3 and above it has no problem and runs smoothly. Could some one tell me where i am going wrong please?

No worries! :)
I just sent a review, but it hasn't come up yet. Is that normal? :)

thanks tiggybouncer

:)

so next update :

1.reload gesture
2. bigger pause button

@seruK and @tiggybouncer,please rate it and comment on the appstore

thank you for playing the game and giving me feedback

I like the QR code, quite a nice touch in my opinion.
My personal thoughts:
-The start menu is rather nice
-When you go onto the Level select bit, having it more centralised would be excellent (but I don't know if this is just my iPod)
-The gameplay is rather simple as well.
-The pause button is a bit small, especially as I have a flip case on my device.

It is a excellent concept, and I love the graphics.
So its just generally great!

Your reality tweet feature is amazing reminds me of scribblnauts. How many type of tweets does your game support?

Can I ask if your events drawn in real time or do you have them all in spritesheets?
