Hi Everyone!

On behalf of CodePlay Studios, I'm pleased to announce Pochi in Space on the forum of the engine that made it all possible - cocos2d! Many thanks to Riq and the cocos2d community for helping us along the way!

Pochi is a curious little explorer who straps on a jet pack and makes his way across the universe. Help Pochi on his journey by steering him away from meteroids, space debris, UFOs, and other dangerous obstacles. In a jam? Deploy shields! Want to cruise in style? Hop into a spaceship! Feeling the need for speed? Test your skills in a space race! With unlockable outfits and themes, Pochi in Space will always be a fresh experience.

Here is a gameplay video:

We're wrapping up development and will be submitting the game for approval very, very soon!

Some development tidbits:
- Designed and developed by 2 guys over 4 months of "spare" time
- Many sleep and hygiene sacrifices made
- Uses manucorporat's awesome CCNotifications (thanks!)
- 240 sprites drawn with love
- 17000 lines of code written with hate (kidding!)

For up-to-date information about Pochi in Space, please visit http://www.codeplaystudios.com. Thanks!

It does look adorable! The gameplay looks similar to Teragati, but with a very cute and colorful design - and with more powerups. Good luck in the store - post back when its available.

Thank you both for your comments! We submitted to the App Store 3 days ago. Current Apple stats say 82% of new apps get reviewed within 7 days, so we'll see how it goes!

Unfortunately, I'm all out of promo codes. However, I'd like to give more people a chance to play Pochi in Space. I have the funds to gift 10 people a copy of the app, so if you're interested, just PM me with your email address. No shady stuff, I promise!

Nice game. I just rated it. I like the music and the sound effects. Was a bit difficult to get the timing on the shield at first.

I noticed that you didn't let the Pochi wrap around the screen like Doodle Jump and Super Blast. Any reason why, in particular?

Thanks for trying it out! To answer your question, we don't do a wrap-around because our control scheme is different from, say, Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump maps tilt to velocity whereas we map tilt to position. We feel that position mapping is a more appropriate control scheme given the nature of our game, but we're looking into adding more control options so players can choose what works best for them :)
