Nautilus, our first iPhone game
by Phillip O'Shea · 12/23/2010 (3:37 am) · 8 comments
I've been working on a game for the iPhone with Torque 2D. It is called Nautilus and was inspired by the Helicopter flash game. Hopefully I'll be able to get it launched early next year after a bit more polish and background improvements.
I'd like to extend an invitation for a few people who would like to give it a whirl and give me some feedback on their experience with it. I've setup an online form for you to submit some information so that I can send you a build:
violent-tulip.com/nautilus/
If you would like to have a go and have the time to write up a short description of your experience after playing the game, please sign up!
Here is a short video of it in action:

@Mack: During testing I found that too much on the screen (especially movement) was distracting enough for players to consistently crash earlier in the level. No bubble particle has been attached for performance reasons. Thanks for the thoughts though. Its been really interesting to see how subtle variations in aesthetic elements of the game affect gameplay. Crazy!@Aun: Time and money :P I'd love to do a platformer (my 2nd fav type of game).
