I just uploaded ‘Crazy Snowboard’ to iTunes Connect! Everything went smoothly for the first step – I’ll keep you posted on any feedback during the approval process.

Once again, thanks heaps to the Unity dev team for making such an awesome tool!

Thanks for the support!

We’ve gone for the US$0.99 price point. The app is more of a quick jump-in snowboarding ‘experience’ rather than full-on game. Here’s our cheesy blurb:

Get ready for some wicked-cool 3D snowboarding action on your iPhone!

Can’t make it to the slopes? Stuck in line waiting for the bus? Snowed in? Well, just whip out your iPhone and Crazy Snowboard and you’ll be transported to the zen-like experience that is snowboarding. The iPhone and snowboarding were made for each other: just tilt left and right to carve down the slope.

Ready for some wicked airs? Just touch the screen (anywhere) hold down and you’ll crouch ready to spring. Release your touch right on the top of a ramp and you’ll get a huge boost into the air.

How about some cool grabs? Once you are in the air, touch and hold different areas on the screen to activate different grabs. The matrix-style camera lets you see all the angles as you slide your finger to transition between the different grabs. Make sure you finish your grab before you land or you’ll know it’s lunchtime when you stack it and eat it!

We plan to build on the gameplay with future (free) updates, but we’ll always keep this mode as an ‘Open Run’ option.

I’ll try and get a demo video up but I don’t know if I’ll get a chance – I’m going on a fishing/windsurfing trip tomorrow for a week and I haven’t packed anything yet because I’ve been having too much fun with Unity!

Nice.

Good job. I liked the look of your video demo earlier.

Shaking the iPhone should do something interesting tho’

Start an avalanche? :-p

anon_69217346 · October 29, 2008, 11:44am

Simon,

Shame on you for going on a fun trip ! Aren’tyou taking Unity with you?

Lol at the avalanche shake idea - neat thinking - I like it.

Congrats!

Congrats on the first game - its a great feeling!

anon_80985544 · October 31, 2008, 6:51am

It’s now live on the App Store. Not bad timing from submission to distribution.

dingosmoov · October 31, 2008, 9:47pm

I just purchased it Great work guys!

anon_76043229 · October 31, 2008, 11:19pm

Also purchased! Looking really good.

anon_10854433 · November 1, 2008, 1:43am

I bought it too. I think it has incredible potential to be expanded upon. I can think of countless options. Great work and I hope you do expand it!

6:59 AM first cup of coffee… Bought it! Well done!

Start up time feels like 6+ seconds. 15 fps seems like it works to me.

The artwork is great. Your music loop works also.

Hmmm… somehow I just hit a button and got my music to play. Didn’t think that was possible with Unity!

Feels a bit like a demo (as you said) but still worth my 99 cents.

My 6 year old son just grabbed it from my hands and started playing. His comments directly…

“Who ever made this is brilliant.”

Sweet…
