Push Panic
Introduction:
Tap the blocks as quickly as you can and remove them before they fill the screen! Link as many same colored blocks together as possible to score more points with massive combos. Random power-up blocks include chain-links that combine multiple color strings, point multipliers, time freezes, bombs, and a raise-the-bar blocks that give players more wiggle room.
Four exciting, fast-paced gameplay modes alter objectives and keep players in a frantically fun tizzy. Push Panic also uses a live ranking system which allows players to see how they stack up against the competition in real time.
Push Panic will be released by Appular later this month.
Why developers will find my game interesting:
I think the most important thing is the implementation of the in-game live online rankings. It is using the openfeint api for browsing the scores. It was hard to debug, but it works perfectly now :) You might also like the GFX a lot, they where all done by Ricardo de Zoete, who I met on Touch Arcade. He did an excellent job!
A lot of polish went into the game, and I guess a lot of that won't even be noticed hahaha :)
For example, I use box2d for the physics of the game. When the blocks fall down and hit eachother the loudness of the sound depends on how big the impact of the blocks are. It's very subtil, but Im very proud at such details :)
Why gamers will find my game interesting:
For players that don't know Push Panic yet, I hope they will get attracted by the looks of the game. Once they play the game they'll find out how much fun it actually is. I'll post some reactions of the beta players so you guys can see what they think of Push Panic.
I just wanted to mention that my wife and son continue to really enjoy the game as it progresses. They keep asking about it, and today I was forced -FORCED, I tell you - to surrender my phone for almost an hour so they could trade it back and forth and try to beat each other's scores. Whine concludes :) - Phoenician1
So I'm really liking this game. It's VERY addicting. Now my only question is does anyone know where I can purchase a wireless powersource so I'm not plugging in 50 times a day lol - jenii
I played the beta last night, what a great game, right up my street of interest as well. Highly polished and something to be proud of, couldn't find any bugs during playing etc. - DavidH
I hope you guys will also like the game as much as we do :)

The game will be available at the end of the month. I would like the thank Riq for creating cocos2d as I couldn't have made this game without it!
Hope you guys like what you see,
Cheers,
