]]> http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?feed=rss2&p=122 0 iZappem 1.1 Update Released http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=117 http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=117#comments Wed, 29 Sep 2010 13:30:23 +0000 admin http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=117 iZappem version 1.1 has now released. We are working on the next release which will contain an adjustment in the nuke weapon for iPhone 4 users. If you are using iZappem on an iPhone 4 you must set the shake option to “easy” for the nukes to work properly. We expect to have this corrected in the 1.2 update.

Future Updates Include:

  • New Minimum OS Requirement 3.0 iOS
  • Updated Backgrounds
  • Updated insects and a new robotic insect mode
  • New weapons upgrades
  • New arcade levels
  • OpenFeint & Game Center Integration

The leader boards are over 400 and still growing. Thanks to all of our users and supporters. We look forward to any ideas and suggestions you to make iZappem even hotter.

iZappem Lite is in the works!!

]]> http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?feed=rss2&p=117 1 iZappem Update http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=107 http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=107#comments Sat, 18 Sep 2010 19:00:46 +0000 admin http://www.binarywerks.net/blog/?p=107 iZappem version 1.1 has now been submitted for Apple approval. This update contains a couple of minor bug fixes and the following improvements:

  • Reduced Binary Size
  • Improved power bug logic
  • New Super Ammo Power-up
  • 2 new OpenFeint Achivements

Planned Updates Coming Soon

  • Twitter & Facebook Integration
  • Updated OpenFeint with Game Center Integration
  • New OpenFient Achivements

On another note we found out that our game has been cracked and is being made available for free. We discovered this because the number of users on the OF leaderboards more than double our sales numbers.

We recognize that software piracy is part of our business and we are flattered that someone liked the game enough to take the time to crack it and share it to the masses, but nevertheless this is disappointing.

We are also not blind to the fact that someone who is going to take the time and look for a software crack rather than pay 0.99 cents would never buy the game in the first place. However sites like AppTracker make it so easy that it puts independent developers at risk. It undermines the imagination, ingenuity, and the many late nights spent in development.

With that said we will not let this distract us from our goal. We want to thank all of the early supporters. We appreciate all the feedback and comments that we receive. We are striving to make this one of the hottest games on the App Store.

We plan to submit an iZappem Lite version in the near future.
