   Hi,

   Our first game has just been released to the AppStore.

   It is called Atom Splitter.

   You can find the game at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atom-splitter/id386907108?mt=8

   Perhaps of some interest is the use of a custom url scheme to ** UNLOCK SECRET MODES **
   - basically you visit a special url from your iPhone browser to start the game with extra difficulties unlocked.

   See here: Unlock Secret Stuff

   Here are some Promo codes.

   Nice game, though I found the left/right control bar a bit troublesome. Given how small the thumb is in relation to the rest of the control, it looks like it should be more of a gradual left/right transition, but it feels very abrupt. Maybe changing it from a slider to something more like a single-axis D-pad controller, where you'd have more of a pushing a button than sliding something that is only acting like a toggle.

   That being said, I really enjoyed the game. The graphics (esp. the backgrounds) are wonderful eye candy. I'm a little envious of how your backgrounds really pop. The character animation/art is also gorgeous, and definitely adds to the "curb appeal".

   Also - have you considered giving the player the ability to duck, perhaps for less damage when hit by the little atoms? Personally, I like when you can cover your head and hide for a little bit. :)

   Hi Dragyn,

   Thanks for the feedback - our gfx guy will be stoked to hear you liked his work!

   Cheers, Adam.

   P.S. Did you try going to here: Unlock Secret Modes from within your web browser on the iPhone to unlock extra difficulty levels?

   Hey Adam - the graphics do look great. I love the "dance" that he does when the level's completed.

   I think the unlocking of secret modes through the browser is an interesting idea (didn't realize you could do that,actually), but is there a particular reason you went this route as opposed to having it unlockable by beating certain levels or just having it as an option to begin with? I know personally I'm lazy, so chances are I'm not going to go out of my way to open my browser first to access these options.

   Looks like a fun game though,
   Chris

   Hi Chrisco,

   The unlocking of secret modes that way actually came about from me using a Custom Uri Scheme to let me change game settings easily without having to build any UI to do it.

   At some point I just thought it would be fun to leave the capability in there and use it to allow people to change the difficulty level via a 'secret' link.

   I think that having links somewhere that do special stuff in a game could be interesting from a marketing perspective (not that we are doing any), but it is interesting to note that you are probably right and people just wont be bothered. :)

   Cheers, Adam.
