Would you like to play a game? :)

DeVore

Heya! We're looking for a bunch of people to test our about-to-be-released game! Its quite polished so we are just looking for people to play it and tell us how they got on!

The game is a 3d escape game, a bit like Temple Run but with an "end" and with designed track. It needs a half decent phone/tablet to run it but try it and see.

There's even a high score competition!


We use TestFlightApp.com to distribute the game. Its really simple:

1. Visit this link and create an account. http://tflig.ht/UAEB0f

2. Testflight sends you a mail which allows you to register your device (one-button click). You need to do this through the device itself.

3. We will (shortly) send you a link to the app which installs it just like AppStore would.


It would be a great help to us if you let us know how you got on and if you enjoyed the game! Have fun and remember that high score competition!...

Many thanks, we're only just starting out as Irish games developers and this will help enormously. (plus, people seem to really be getting into the game! )




How To Play:
1. Tap either side of the car to make it move one lane that way.
2. Swipe across the car to make it jump to the far side of the track.
3. Yellow pads make you speed up, blue slow you down.
4. Powercells need collecting. Dont they always??
5. Fire makes you slow to minimum speed.
6. Speed too long at the slowest speed and the helicopter will getcha

I've set up an account but there's nothing there when I hit apps, I'm using iPhone 5, have you a direct link to the download?

guil

It can take a while for betas or anything to be distributed through test flight but you should get an email when it's available in the app

drunkmonkey

There like 0 apps in test flight, how does it know that I should have access to it if I can't see anyone else's apps?
i.e I don't see how it can know that I want the game...do you see what I'm getting at?

For apple devices we have to snag the DeviceID from you (which is why you need to click the button with the device in question) and then we have to kinda "compile" for that device. Because Apple say so. Its some kinda security thing to avoid other AppStores opening up.

You'll get a mail in a while with the link to install the app, we batch compile twice a day.

drunkmonkey

I'll sit tight, I still don't see how your going to know it's me as apposed to some chap who just randomly signed up to test flight.

guil

They won't but only devices that have linked a device to test flight and have joined the gone gaming group will get invited to test the app and possibly any future apps aswell

mmalaka

Ok I am waiting for the link to the App

guil

I've joined aswell. Hopefully it runs smoothly on an iPhone 4

No mention of joining any group in DeVores post, it would make sense then alright but it doesn't at the moment.

DeVore

on an iP4_S_ it runs like butter... unfortunately the iP4 original is very low powered by comparison in the graphical area. I dunno if it will run well on that version.

Cal of Duty 5 will be out before this game.

Dades

I'm in.

Where's the buffet?

iOS build update - we're planning to push out a build via Testflight to everyone signed up so far, tomorrow morning. You'll get an email as soon as it lands. Sorry for the delay but we've done some last minute tweaks so we can include iPhone 3GS.

karlh

Slightly later than scheduled - hope it was worth the wait... Testers signed up so far will get an email in a few mins to tell you latest build is now on Testflight.

You'll notice some jerking in transitions between menu/intro/game, this is known and fixed for release.(and much better after first game)

Remember controls is tap left/right to change lane, not swipes.
Swipe up to jump
A long swipe will change to the leftmost/rightmost lane.

More info on the Gone Gaming forum

Good luck!

Quick thing - tutorial is a little messed up atm but you can still play through it - just ignore the text timing

What time did you register? We need to manually push build to newly registered devices so you may not have made the last batch

So... signed up again. Hopefully I'll be able to run this, when you send it out to me...

There's a lot of feedback about jumping so I've created a poll over on the Gone Gaming forum to zero in on what most players prefer controls to be. We'd really appreciate it if you could add your 2c...

Can you check that you clicked the link 'Login' link (must be from the iphone) sent to you by testflight on registration. We do have a batch of new names waiting for a push but all since Fri.

Unless you complete the step above there's no device registered on your account so a build won't appear. Might be your prob...

Wicklowandy

I've definately logged in, just wait so?
