"This game will be bigger than Skyrim!” - Bill Corbett, Rifftrax/MST3K

WARNING: This is REAL retro gaming! Be prepared for vast, unique levels with challenging boss battles!

MANOS is an homage to the great games you remember from your childhood! Remember how every film and cartoon had it's own platform game adaptation? When every man, woman, child, animal and inanimate object were out to get your character? When the streets were filled with bats, ghosts and Frankenstein monsters? MANOS will take you back to the fantastically absurd games of the past!

Lost on their vacation, Mike and his family have wandered the desert trying to find a place to stay, only to wind up in the haunted Valley Lodge. Maintained by Torgo, an unusual man/satyr who "takes care of the place while The Master is away", the hotel is swimming with paranormal activity which Mike has to brave through to find his now missing family. Who is The Master, and what does he want with Mike's family? Armed with his trusty revolver, Mike will have to wander the haunted halls, venture out into the desert, uncover a dark temple and battle the forces of darkness to find out!

- Huge levels with boss battles at the end of each!
- True classic gameplay!
- 100% authentic retro style!

Erf..all gone :(

Brought it, love it. Congrats on the entry DistantJ.

Do you have any plans to maybe have an options screen where I can change the size and layout of the A/B and directions arrows? Thanks, was looking forward to this game for a few days. Hope you get a lot of coverage and sales from this.

HI,Bought it...Congrats DistantJ...Is Android version is on the way?

Yeah, it just runs really slowly on the latest beta of the Android exporter, so just waiting for CT to optimise the rendering engine better. Might be 30FPS on Android.

Which android phone have you tried it on?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Tegra 2.

Great game DistantJ! Im curious to see how this release affects your previous releases sales wise. Im sure you'll see a nice jump :)

Great game, love the graphics. Very well done.

Wasn't there a movie call Manos: The Hands of Fate? It was made in 1966... Any relation?

Yeah at least 1000 are pirates though. Go to the Manos thread in the main iOS exporter forum for sales numbers etc.

Holla! Honestly? At least 1000? Oh boy still that many jailbroken phones out there. On the other side: you have 1000 more players DistantJ! It´s part of the game I guess.

Messing about on my ipad, MANOS is in the games new and noteworthy area for me, second dot along next to alien breed and blazing star.

No idea how long that has been there but maybe it will bring some more sales in.

They have increased slightly lately. It's been in N&N Australia and New Zealand for a while, the UK one has likely popped up recently.

How are sales now?

5,413 as of August 17th. Averaging about 110 a day. After it hits certain milestones I may have to give some revenue to the folks who found the copyright forms for the original film's screenplay (either that or just remove the app from sale and re-upload without the movie's characters if the deal their offer isn't fair).

Decided that I am going to aim to sell 4,300 games a season (that's every 3 months, launching different games etc.), cut back on my graphic design work and call this my full time job.

That is very impressive! You kinda really made it as an app developer if you can live of it. Very good job!

Seems like a brave thing to do but if you can hit that every quater, why not!

Don't know if you already know or not, but Manos is featured in this months GamesTM magazine (n126 the OUYA issue, p67). Is covered in a piece on the launch games for OUYA.

That's cool, I will buy a copy, though I haven't confirmed MANOS as an OUYA launch game :S

There was a full review in the following issue too :-)

So, MANOS v1.2 is out. Fixed all of the exporter related crashes and the iPad control issues that popped up in 1.1, and added continues for those who can't beat the game.
