Progress on First Patch

egaal — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 07:28:06 +0000

Got some good work in over the weekend. We now have two game modes to choose from: easy and hard or “peckish” and “gluttonous”.

There will be two levels of difficulty now available. Peckish will be what the game is like now. While Gluttonous will feel like starting at about round 7 with all the obstacles (shark, seagull, iceberg) out and the fish avoiding bombs.

We also have a large portion of the Game Center integration done with online high scores and rankings and a few achievements to keep things interesting. We should be submitting some time this week and the patch should be out before Christmas, Apple willing.

Game Center integration is almost done

Some of the new achievements soon to be available
