   Hi

   Here is new game for iPhone. Thanks everybody involved in Cocos2D project and especially Codemattic for improving my English :)

   
   Alex the Fox - Catch the eggs - feed the fox!

   It's an idyllic countryside evening with crickets and owls echoing in the fields. Can anything disturb this beautiful night? Unfortunately Yes! There is something odd going on in the neighborhood...

   Alex is a good boy, but because of his hunger he's forced to be the egg thief. He's up to his foxy foray but he has one slight problem. It's the evening of the Full Moon and he's exposed to the weird stares of the curious villagers. As soon as they spot him, they're afoot and the mess begins. Pots, pans, pumpkins, scissors, everything they reach they throw on poor Alex...

   Help Alex to avoid falling objects and catch enough eggs to feed himself. Go through as many levels as you can, while the situation complicates and quickens more and more. Then share your success with your friends on Facebook and Twitter through the OpenFeint integration.

   Hey PhilM, thanks

   Btw, sorry you couldn't use promo code. I don't expect to earn millions from my fellow developers ;)

   Hey

   Got featured by Apple in "What We're Playing". Not as good as "New" or "Hot" but at least something...

   congrats on the feature!

   Played the game & really liked it.
   I love the graphics, they work really well, especially the simple parallax. Gives it a nice effect as you move. Left you a review on the store.

   One thing I noticed, it may be intentional, so ignore me if so. I played a while then paused & exited back to the main menu. If I now continue that game & then die, when I go back to the main menu I can still continue from the previous save state (all lives/chickens still in tact). So you could always progress further. Perhaps thats how someones got upto level 505!

   Good luck with the game.

   @EmmaLynn
   Thank you :)

   @PhilM
   First, thank you for great comments. About continuing game... Yes, that was my intended feature. I wanted it that way exactly so whenever you have some time to play, you can continue where you left, so you can always improve your score, little by little over time. There are unlimited levels btw...

   That makes sense. Maybe you should list that as a feature, as it kind of makes it more relaxing/less tense, as you know you can pick it up & progress some more at any time. Which is a good thing, as I've played so many games that can get frustrating having to start from the beginning repeatedly (probably because I'm rubbish at them ; )

   edit: & by 'simple parallax' I actually more meant 'minimal parallax', as its done in quite a subtle way.

    Yes, that's good suggestion. Only problem I see is I don't think anyone actually read those descriptions :)

    About parallax. Yes I like those small details. Maybe you didn't notice, but Alex's eyes rotates slightly to the top-center when you're moving him left-right. I know, nobody will see that maybe, but I lost about 1-2 hours implementing that, because I forgot trigonometry pretty much :)

    haha, so he does! Nice little touch. Its the kind of thing you might notice after playing it for a while, and wondering why you hadn't seen it before.

    Hey, thanks everybody :)

    I had plans improving the game with difficulty modes, bonus levels, more falling objects and bonuses, and now I have a doubt what should I do with new "updates" policy?!? It's nice thing supporting the customers that already bought the game, but then, it's hard and time demanding work and if you can't make any additional sale with update, hmmm... :( Any thoughts on this?

    My advice is to move onto the next app unless you have bugs that annoy users. Users paid for the app as is and you aren't getting any more money out of them. A month ago my opinion differed, but this is the reality Apple has forced on us.

    Eh, suppose you're right. I don't have any bugs I am aware of, so probably no updates if Apple doesn't change its policy somehow...
