Here is a YouTube video showing the new features in Z is for Zombie 2.0, the locked freeplay levels, new weapons and the new High Scores and Statistics screens. It’s sitting in review, and I’m hoping it comes out early this week.

F is for Falling 1.5 is out!

12 Feb

Wow, that was wicked fast, F is for Falling 1.5 is out!!

As I said previously, this was mostly a bug / performance improvement release, but I did sneak in a few new items:
  • Bug Fix: Leaderboards button linked to wrong place
  • Bug Fix: If you did from a large hazard (balloon or plane) while spinning, the game over screen would be rotated.
  • New Feature: Reset Scores button to reset all the high scores. You’ll need this if you have a score from version 1.3 and prior.
  • New Feature: Backgrounds toggle in settings screen, allows you to turn off the background clouds for performance improvement.
  • New Hazard: A Big Bomb that will blow you to pieces
  • Performance Improvements: I was able to reduce the memory footprint by 10%! This makes a big different on 1st gen devices.

I encourage everyone to comment below, or use the contact form to send me some ideas of what to include in 1.6!
