Mutation is about to be completed!!

PACMAN Reloaded is on final stages to become Squid Trap !

Apple has approved the latest update yesterday. Ever since, I have already changed all the marketing material and as the servers get updated, the migration is being completed.

I can see totally updated material in the United States, it means that most of the countries where people see the English descriptions should be fine. I still see some issue with the Brazilian translation that shall be fixed over the next few hours.

I do apologize for any inconvenience that this migration may have caused but I hope to compensate that with you when I release new versions of Squid Trap during this year.

More than 400 people have already upgraded their software. Thanks !

PACMAN Reloaded will become "Squid Trap"

Hello Everyone

We have received a notice from Apple telling us that NAMCO has complained about PACMAN Reloaded.

As usual, I have decided to do a little research about the topic by myself and based on my findings, the only option that I could find was completely remove PACMAN Reloaded from the Market.

As such, we have completly changed the look and feel of the App. The good thing about it is that we could use more updated graphics and sounds. In my opinion, it has become an even better software.

Over the next couple days (assuming that Apple approves the new App version and NAMCO has no more requests), our "Squid Trap" should be made available at the App Store.

In case you want to keep the PACMAN look and feel, make sure you do not update your software. If you want to keep receiving the latest and greatest updates, upgrade to the new  "Squid Trap".

Here are a few screenshots of the upcoming version:

PACMAN Reloaded Version 1.2 is available !!

We in Babs2Go really appreciate all the feedback we are getting from the PACMAN community. As of now, we are particular interested on hearing your opinions about the game controls.

PACMAN Reloaded 1.2 adds the capability of controlling pacman via accelerometer.

As we saw a few reviews, it seems that some people are not happy with the current Arrow-based controls. As such, we have added the option to enable Accelerometer at the Configuration Screen. We would appreciate if you could try this other option and let us know if it works better.

Your feedback is very important to drive our activities for the next release!

Thanks

PACMAN Reloaded

Hello Everyone

I'd like to announce our latest product on the App Store. Babs2Go is glad to bring to you PACMAN Reloaded. The greatest thing about this game is that it is already born with a few millions of fans :).


PACMAN is a classic arcade game that almost everyone who ever had a computer have already enjoyed. My daughter is about 5 years old and she just learned to play PACMAN herself. As she liked, she asked me to get PACMAN for my iPhone so she could play while we were driving her to school.


I have browsed a few options and didn't like any. As usual, if I do not like what is out there, I build my own. Ever since yesterday (Feb 12th)  the App has been available on the App Store. It seems that people are also liking it; with no marketing at all (even the Apple new release list has started showing it only today) it is already the 49 most sold App of the Entertainment category in Brazil.


I hope that you enjoy it!


If you have suggestions on what game to build next, let us know. My main source of information now is my daughter, but I'd love to bring to live your favorite game.


Here are a few screen from PACMAN Reloaded:

Thanks

Have a great New Year !!

Hi Folks

It has been a while since I do not write on the blog. It has been a very busy couple months :)

However, I'd like to wish a Great New Year to all of you !!

About my last post, iToon 2.0 was submitted, approved and it is available on the App Store. However, I can't wait to submit the next release. If you thought that version 2.0 was a major update, you will be surprised by the 2.1 version.

Before telling about 2.1, let me share a few issues with you: Apple has changed their "New Release" list policy on the App Store and, unfortunately, "Updates" are no longer considered "New Releases". As such, I have no efficient way to let everybody know about new iToon versions.

On the previous policy, iToon used to show up on the very first page of the "New Releases" list for each update. However, on the new policy, it not longer happens. I trust that you will be happy with the new releases and let your friends know. I really need this "advertisement" help from you in order to keep the updates going. 

In a glance, here are some of the iToon 2.1 features:

- Frames : You will be able to add frames to you picture, take a look on some of them at the end of this post.
- Background Painter : You will be able to overlap pictures and interchange the backgrounds.
- Artistic Highlight : You will be able to build dramatic effects with Colored Themes on the top of Black and White background.
- In-App Purchases : This will allow you to buy features and content packs directly from iToon Store.

These are major enhancements that will bring iToon to a new level. 2010 is promising great things.

Best luck to us all !
