Hi all,
Just a small promotional offer I started earlier this week. You can get my game, CyberPigeon for free off the app store until November 26! I think I posted this in the right place?

Thanks!
And if you could help out and review it that would be awesome!

Edit: Since I'm posting this so late, I decoded to change it so it's free until November 26! Go get it :)
Played this game for a while earlier today and I like it, good mix of weapons and how they shoot to keep things interesting, plays smooth without a problem.
Do the enemies always spawn in the same spots? it's the only complaint I would give it right now.
Downloaded, will give it a try at lunch at work tomorrow :) (so many games to test out ;)
Nice little game, i saw your stuff on youtube a while back.
nice little shootemup the laser is fun to use.
only real crit i have from the first few minutes of playing is, i can sometimes see the bullet hit boxs show up... green for the player fireing and red for the enemies... but apart from that its fun :) i will give some more impressions on it when i have spent more time on it - goodjob
and nice to see you giving it away for free for a while (you should make a youtube video telling people if you havent already :) and i will make sure to review it on itunes too.
Works well on iPOD Touch with iOS 4 :D
Kinda reminds me of the old Konami game Twin Bee :D Cute and cuddly.
I'm not good at this kind of game, so I didn't play for long, but can confirm the display bug with the boxes. The FB link doesn't send me to your site, you may check this.
Thanks for the feedback guys! Definitely appreciated.
@Diablohead -
Yeah, they do spawn in the same spot. Originally planned it to be random on the play field, but the way they move they could easily go off screen and it didn't look so good if I had them wrap around.
@Reale & @JoKa -
I'm not really sure what you mean by the hit boxes showing up. As I haven't seen anything like that on any of my test devices. Which iDevice were you using and what version of iOS? I pretty much have everything I need to test the game except a iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
On iPad2 with iOS 4.3.3 I see small rectangles flashing up randomly in the path of the player projectyles. Looks like some fragments of detector objects.
Thanks! I'll look into it, I'll try to replicate it on my iPad 1.
i am using an iphone 4s :)Quote:

Out of curiosity, do you guys see these boxes in other MMF2 made iOS game? I am wondering if it might be some kind of incompatibility of the iOS Exporter with A5 devices.
No, didn't notice such fragments in other MMF games. So, are you using some objects which should be invisible? Or is there an other source for the graphical glitch?
Well it's weird that neither CyberPigeon nor the enemies use any sort of hit boxes. The only thing I can think of that you might be seeing is a red box that's 90x73px that's being used to detect if any projectile or enemy is close to the player.
I can definitely confirm the graphical glitch not being present on my iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch (3rd Gen), iPhone 4 and iPad 1 (tested on iOS 4.X and 5). I have not been able to test my brother's 4S yet.
How often would you say it happens? Every few seconds?
Thanks!
It happens very frequently right from the start and there are often some of them at the same time. Seemed to disappear after some progress in the level, maybe due to changed weapons? I noticed green rectangles and red ones. Green seems to be related to player shots, red to some enemy projectyles. They show up for a short moment, sometimes it's hard to determine the color, because they vanish almost immediately. They also vary in size, probably because only a part of them may show up.
The good news is I found out what was causing the problem, and have Andos looking into it. It's a glitch only found on A5 devices when a frame in the sprite becomes very small (I'm pretty sure a few pixels by a few pixels, but those objects went down to 1x1, so it could have been that frame).
I submitted a fix to Apple, should be out in about a week. Please let me know if it continues. I have other sprites in there that become that small, haven't seen the issue with those yet.
