The Twist is on the home stretch – at least for the initial release.  Today I’m sending the game out to some people for testing on various devices.  Personally I only own a Nexus One, Samsung Galaxy S 2, and a Google Nexus 7.  So getting it tested on more devices is a no brainer.  I don’t think I need to write a blog about the importance of testing!

I’ve set up a lander page which will be updated when the game comes out, you can visit it at http://anthonymassingham.com/thetwist/

I’ve also recently uploaded a trailer video.  Have a look

So I’ve had a few questions about the game I figured I’d just answer a few of them here.

“Will the twist be free?”

The Twist will cost 99c.  However, soon after release ( not sure exactly when, could be days, or weeks ) I’ll be submitting a free version.  The Free version will lack Damsels (which provide time bonuses) and the online high-score system.

“What is it coded in?”

The Twist is coded in Adobe Air, using Starling.

“How many game modes are there?”

Currently, just the one ‘Twist’.  However a second ‘Grab’ is in production, and will be added sometime after the initial release of the game.

“Will it come out on iDevices?”

Not in the foreseeable future I’m afraid.  In order to develop for iPhone, you need two things that I am without.  Money, and a Mac.  If my situation changes, then I will most certainly look at porting it.

“When will it be out?”

Very soon!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
