Hey guys, huge thanks to cocos2d for this. As well as box2d for the amazing physics engine. Here's some of the details from the app store.

Game Story

Welcome to a world where a little bunny rabbit has one goal in life, to make it to the clouds. However, each time he reaches a new height something horrible happens, helium blocks of varying shapes and possibilities block his path and attempt to lead him astray! You're his only hope. With you ability to remove blocks at will, Rabbit may finally reach his goal and find a resting place in the clouds where he can enjoy himself and a wonderful view.

Game Features

Fly Away Rabbit takes you on a gaming adventure perfected in the iPhone and iPod Touch. Use your finger to touch blocks and remove them from the game. With each block removed physics based reactions will occur. Use these reactions to guide Rabbit to the cloud and complete each level. Play through 48 levels in 3 difficulties and enjoy a truly exciting physics based puzzle game.

Screenshots

Once again big thanks to cocos2D.

Looks cool and the bunny is so cute. Who wouldn't want to help it? I guess you couldn't get around the jagged line issue?

Talking about the rope? It does look kinda bad in the screenshots now that you mention it.

I actually took the smoothing off of it because it seemed too blurred to me. I think it looks a lot better in motion than it does in stills like this though.

Thanks for the compliment.

Hey, you are right about the string. You don't see jaggies in the video of the gameplay. Cool.

really curious - can you lose in this game ?

other than reaching the cloud - is there any other gaming condition ?

It's an incredibly simple game. Reach the cloud win. Miss the cloud lose.

So yes you can definitely lose and you lose A LOT. The cloud takes up most all of the screen but it's hard to guide the rabbit to the cloud when the blocks start sliding and throwing the rabbit off course.

jd, yeah definitely looks better in that video :) If you pay attention in the game you'll notice it's not perfectly smooth but the string never stops moving so you rarely get the chance to notice anything but a clean crisp line.

oh, so basically if you hit the blocks they can "push" you left/right, so you go off the screen and lose ?

clever

Exactly, all you have control over is the blocks. The Rabbit and the Balloon move entirely based on whichever way the blocks fall combined with the influence of helium and gravity.

It's not a new idea, but it's just a different take on it.

Just got a tweet from Web Design Ledger, big thanks to those guys.

took PRJLXR9N7H97 - the game is almost ridiculously hard :D but the concept is original, graphics are nice and the animated menus... menus are awesome

I have OpenFeint integrated with a high score system that I think will work great. I'm waiting for OF to approve the game so I can submit the update to the app store. I'll post when it's updated.

However, if anybody is just wanting to play the game and see if they like it.
It is released as a flash game now. The Flash game will not have any highscore systems so if you like the game and want to compete, you have to get the iPhone version.

There's even a walkthrough you can access from the flash version if you find the game is too hard.

This game was about impossible to develop a learning curve that works for everyone. I have people who complain it's too easy and too hard. I even had a reviewer straight up say the game was only beatable by brute forcing your way through it. This game really isn't about speed. It's about good timing. Watching the balloon and the rabbit's movements and making your choices with that in mind. I think the hardest part is thinking of the physics from an upside down perspective. Takes a little getting used to.

Thanks MikeSZ for the compliment on the menus :) And thanks for playing the game and letting me know you got one of the promos.

My 6 year old was able to do levels 1-8 yesterday in a short amount of time. I'm not sure how hard it gets after that, but it seems simple enough so far.

Wow! Thanks Genji! This is absolutely awesome. I saw my sales spike this morning and had no idea what had happened. Just signed up and started tracking it with appFigures.

I'm pretty excited, Thanks to God and Apple for this.
And a huge thanks to cocos2d because without it, there's absolutely no way I would have made or released this game for iPhone. I'm a flash developer, OpenGL gives me a headache.
