Sushiboy in Mac App Store!

Posted by Buzzwerd - February 7th, 2011


Well first I should announce my new flash game that might be coming in the next month or so called Pop. It's sorta like the mario levels where the levels scroll, and you've got to get by everything quickly. We're still looking for a sponsor and everything but I'll include a screenshot at the bottom of the post.

The bigger news is that Sushiboy, my iPhone game, will be available tomorrow afternoon in the new Mac App Store for $1.99 for those of you's with Macs. If enough people get it in the first week or so we've got a pretty good shot at getting in the top 50, maybe even the top 10.

Sushi Boy is out!

Also, I've got a new iPhone game coming up, but there's isn't a lot to tell yet.

Good luck with that; I know the app market is getting ever more saturated so to have a succesful game is getting increasingly harder. I've no idea what the desktop Mac app store is like though. Best of luck with it anywho.

Luckily only a fraction of what comes through is that great, so indie developers still have a shot at some success.

Damn if only I could get the mac store. I have a mac D: but can't get the store for some reason. Oh well. Good luck with everything. I wanna buy Sushiboy. Looks great :)

Strange, maybe you need to have Snow Leopard.

i've got a mac. do i just buy it through itunes or something?

Not sure if you've got to have Snow Leopard or not, but it should self-install when you get the latest update on your computer. You just go to the top corner where the little apple is and hit "software update". I'll post a link to the actual game in there once it releases.

to people above ^ when you click the apple in the top left corner and press app store option. You might have to get the most recent update to see it I think

What was development like for the iPhone? Is the leap from Flash hard? It's something I've been considering lately.

It's not hard, if anything it's a lot more involved. The exporting process, if you're using Flash for your artwork is a bit of a pain for animation. I still haven't found a real efficient way of making it work. Objective-C is a pretty big leap from AS3 and completely different than AS2, but if you've got the time to learn it all it can be pretty rewarding. Apples and oranges though.

i like apples and oranges

i thought you were more into bananas

How exciting!

What did you build Sushi Boy in for the app store, im using flash to build an iOS app atm but I was wondering about creating a HD version for desktop machines.

Built it in xcode using cocos2d

BUZZ IS YOU GOT THE WERD, MAIN MAN!

I downloading it right now
