"decidedly!"

A brand new version of Floyd has been released!

Here’s what’s new:

• A new game element: Moving platforms!
• Ten new levels (41 through 50)!
• A new background music song (hear it in levels 41, 42, and 46)!
• Two gorgeous new level backgrounds
• A counter on the main screen that shows your total number of hats
• Finding Floyd slips off those platforms a little too easily? Now, you can reduce his running speed by changing the “Controller Sensitivity” setting in the “Settings” dialog. (More virtual gamepad settings on the way.)
• If you are a GameCenter user, your game progress should now sync across all of your devices.

Enjoy!

• Ghost hats! These turn Floyd into ghost for short amounts of time. Useful for sneaking past dangerous animals such as…
• Packs of vicious dogs. Watch out!
• Ten more levels!
• Intro animation with voices
• When Floyd gets three ribbons at the end of a level, we can now hear Muybridge say “Well done, my boy!”
• It’s no longer possible for Floyd to continue running when he falls off the bottom of the screen.
• Floyd now longer dies twice when he gets bitten by a dog and then falls off a cliff.
• The game should now work for iOS 5.0 users again (sorry!)
• Build 2680: Game has been built 658 times since last revision (11 days ago). That’s an average of 59 builds a day.

Enjoy!

For the past eight months, I have been working on an iOS game based on the photography of Eadward Muybridge. As of this week, the game is now in the App Store. Since my quiet soft-launch earlier this week, it has already been downloaded more than five thousand times!
