Rocket Weasel Launches!!

A project I’ve worked on over the past year called Rocket Weasel. This is my 3rd game out with Unity3d but my 1st out as the programmer and tech artist. I want to thank you guys in your posts and tutorials on the forum for helping an artist learn to work over the past year on the scripting and coding side with this awesome engine. Out now on the Amazon Market, the iOS store outside the US and coming soon to the iOS US Market and Android market.

Check out the game on amazon here.

Edit:: Though it is a known issue finding that it doesn’t play on super low android devices, apple no problem. We will be issuing a lite version in amazon and subsequent stores so one at least has the chance to try it first. This at least while we work to some better solution for the lower android devices.

Also a video setting the game up.

Love the artwork, love the video. I can’t speak to the game play but what you’ve displayed here is top notch, well polished and compelling stuff.

Thanks jmatthews The artist my company hired did a bang up job of helping to create an awesome look and feel, of course I just may be biased.

Since videos do gameplay no justice a guess a best description is it’s a physics based puzzer where we wanted to add interactive activities along with the flight mechanic so it wasn’t just waiting for him to land everytime. It has been described by a focus grouper as ''angry birds meets cut the rope" I would think that’s more a reference to the mechanics than anything else… I hope :slight_smile: .

Definitely looks very polished! - but how about some gameplay footage? I think most of the people on here are more interested in the specifics of the game, mechanics, in-game graphics etcetera -not so much the advertising material (even if it looks awesome) :slight_smile:

yeah gameplay footage please :slight_smile:

You guys asked for it :slight_smile: . I went back to work to request a trailer and a couple people were able to put one together. Although they did speed it up a little bit, I guess some other videos do the same to fit time. Looked weird to me at first, after seeing at in a specific time scale for so long but it’s snappy at least.

Now officially out on Android, Amazon and iOS. Working on the next update, adding some content and tweaking some functionality.

If you guys get a chance to check it out, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Loving the latest video! Very cute animations and animals.

Judging from Amazon you already have quite a nice community and a few customers as well. Kudos! :wink:

Looks great.

Who did your artwork if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks guys for the feedback!

@Obatztrara - Hoped that cute animals atop game mechanics would help. :slight_smile:

@ Justin Lloyd - I’ll pass that on to her, she was an artist we brought in while trying to hammer out the look of the game and I think she nailed it, the link to her DA page is http://doingwell.deviantart.com/ and the hammer pun was totally unintentional.

Thanks for the info.

Also, just got the press release from your PR team. I don’t cover game releases but at least you know the PR went out.

Oh, that’s funny I know they sent it out today but I didn’t know to whom. If it’s some sort of list would you like me to pass what you said on to them?

It is like playing Whack-A-Mole. Getting yourself removed from and then automatically added back to a contact list is just something you get used to putting up with as a journalist.
