   Hi all,

   I'm happy to say Nukeball for iPhone and iPod Touch is finally available on iTunes. It's very simple and easy to play arcade game based mainly upon multiplayer experience. Two players can compete each other in real-time using just one iphone / ipod device.

   Target of the game is to destroy your opponent using your shots or hitting it with the nukeball. It's not as easy as it seems! Each player is protected by laser shield at the beginning of each match. The only way how to destroy the shield is by hitting it with the nukeball. Direction of the nukeball can be changed by hitting it with the shots, so only the fastest nukeballer with the best aim wins the mach!

   If you have no friend to grab and compete, you will be satisfied with single player support. Game includes three different AI difficulty levels and a very sophisticated scoring system based upon your accuracy and dominancy over the opponent. Rule the AI, share your score online and prove, that you are the best nukeballer ever!

   This is our first iPhone application. Development cycle took 3 weeks including learning of obj-c and cocos2d stuff - I learned everything on the fly. App was approved after 2 weeks. Almost same time period as the whole development :)

   Thanks everybody for helping me with some cocos2d stuff and great thanks to Riq and others for cocos2d api!

   Two weeks development time is amazing for such a solid looking game. Maybe next version you can add p2p networking for OS3.0 - at your rate you could finish that in a weekend? :) Good luck in the appstore!

   I was developing games in j2me for mobile devices, so I think that this is why development cycle was so short. Anyway, I was also making graphics in the meantime, so what you see is programmers art ;-) I was thinking about p2p multiplayer, but I wanted to have compatibility with 2.2.1 - more customers. But p2p will definetly be in Nukeball 2 :)

   Very nice! The gfx remind me a of a flash game with a robot I was playing a lot around one year ago.

   Little remarks:

   - It was not clear at first how to shoot.
   - Texts are a tad smallish.
   - No option to turn off music ?
   - How do high scores work ? The game always throws me back to main screen after saying "you win".

   Hi ob1,

   high score system is available only for hard difficulty - it is written with that smallish text in new game menu :) Only music + sounds can be turned off together by switching the iPhone's HW button.

   You have to win over easy and medium difficulty to open hard difficulty level.

   @awolCZ - you can have p2p multiplayer and 2.2.1 compatibility. I posted a link recently about deployment targets which explains how you can use features from one OS (3.0) but still be compatible with another OS (2.2.1) that doesn't have that feature.
