Yeha, it's finally out. Congratulations everyone and let's get some of them promo codes. :P

Sverx honey, even ipodtouch works and since Jungool supports everything from 3.0 onward, the used ones 1st/2nd gen must be like ... $5.

Also, women needed for promotion, men are not good in selling games.

Lobo dear, this is probably true for US but here unfortunately isn't so. I gave a look on ebay too, I could probably get one from US (1st gen. touch) for some 40-50 $, plus some 25$ for s/h. Don't know if it's worth, though. I'll ask friends if somebody has an old one to sell for few euros :)

Sverx, sweetcakes..that's still cheap. ;)
How much are they in Italy anyway? You can get on US ebay 2G iphone for around $100 meaning ipodtouch 1st/2nd should be even less.

Lobo, -I'm lacking adequate word-, on the Italian eBay they are well over 100 Euros, unfortunately.
I've got to find some friend who just want to throw away old stuff he's got home ;)

Serious congrats to the team. :-*

Looks very nice.

Still don't have an iPodperson device, not in a big hurry either for reasons other than being a contrary bastard, although Jungool makes the idea look more tempting than anything else I've seen. :)

Am curious about a couple of details, what is the control system (tilt, on-screen controls, or something else)?

How big is the binary (if it really is a binary, or are they all just some kind of super JVM bytecode type thing)?

Virtual gamepad as default controls, but have a alternativt 3 point controls (due mouse under dev cant use multitouch and hence still in the game).

The binary and its content went around 131mb.

131 millibits? Now that is tiny for so much action.

Can't resist lamely repeating that one, but srsrly, a bit surprised that iOS files are so big, I know enough to know that this team writes efficient code.

Code is one thing, but we have a lot of graphics, music, and sfx, and these all take a lot of space.

As far as size of the games goes, this is a medium sized game really, there is a lot bigger than this.

Rage is the biggest game I have, and is little over 1GB when installed (That is one of the big game). Its only have 3 levels, but awesome graphics.

With that game in mind, 140MB is very pretty normal for this kind of game and should not been trouble to download it. Since the game is over 20MB, this mean you need Wifi or iTunes to download the game, its cant been downloaded directly from a carrier.

The game did not use bg tiles at all, which is why it have that size.

PS. I have seen FlyTest files insize zip, which could save another 200kb, but no real big. hehe.

Flytest was left in for testing things - a blank canvas ;)

(who knows what may happen later?)

Found these concrete wonders by a brilliant but nameless council sculptor in a tiny park on the night of Fri. before last. Was struck at the time by a certain family resemblance to the Jungool 'sprites' (guess they are not handled by h/w so not really sprites?).

... kind of like distant cousins, different axis, but there is a certain facial resemblance IMHO. ;)
