It’s another UpBot Goes Up screenshot! But now the game is using XNA 4 – which means it’s closer to being in a releasable state.

Here’s another iPod / iPhone / iPad game that me and a few other guys made at work.

It’s a sparkly, colourful physics-based puzzler. Simply tap the screen to drop coins from the top. Try to light the pins, capture the Bad Pennies, rescue Girl Coins, smash bricks, demolish things, and tons more stuff too.

It’s a game I’m truly proud of, so please give it a go!

Did I mention it’s only £0.59 / $0.99 / ¥115 / 0,79 € ?

Twitter Highlights

Coin Drop seems to have an ability to generate some imaginative comments on Twitter, so here are some of my faves.

@charltonbrooker (Charlie Brooker..!)

Arrgh. Coin Drop on the iPhone. Angry Birds crossed with Peggle. That’s like crossing crack cocaine with bubble wrap. SEND HELP.

@hanellison

Oh dear, I downloaded coin drop.

@timallenphoto

The dog is actually playing Coin Drop!! Might want to wipe the screen afterwards though.

Coin Drop has passed the ‘legs have gone numb on the toilet’ test #tmimonday

@ursine_benn

Trying to keep up the Screenshot Saturday thing! It’s just a mockup really, but the game does exist. I’m doing art, and Ricky Haggett / Kommander Klobb is doing code. The design just makes itself up as we go.

Well tomorrow is Christmas so I’m not gonna post stuff then.

I added a glow effect around the coloured tiles that the bots need to get too. Oh yeah!

Merry Christmas!

Thought I’d try and get into the habit of posting more on this here website, so I’ll try stealing Screenshot Saturday from Twitter.

Currently back working on UpBot Goes Up, hoping to finish it in January. So here’s a screenshot, even though it doesn’t really show anything new – all of the in-game stuff has been mostly done for a while.

8 Bit Horse recently did a startingly detailed feature on Treasure Treasure and my previous games!

It was part of a whole week of Xbox Live Indie Games features so it’s naturally worth a look.
