Give us a day to mock this one up. You sure talk the talk, are you "in the biz"? Reveal your true nature by saying IAP a lot.

Thanks Rich ! I'm enjoying the "game" so far
Music and animations are the best thing in this app by far
.It's so annoying because you're forced to click on the thread, read it, and then post!
Agreed. I bought it.

That trailer was amazing.
I would buy the game just on how great the trailer was, but I don't own an iOS device.

Nope, just asterisks I think. I'm not completely sure though.
Y'know, I'm digging this. My only feedback thus far is that the level ending fart should be a long wet random sample of nastiness rather than a foghorn.
For some reason, the gameplay reminds me of Monsters Ate My Condo. I see why the tunes were being hyped too, they're cool.
Edit: No Gamecenter leaderboards?

We are pysched that people are digging it! We started the game as a joke, and then used a fun, iterative process to evolve the mechanics into something we found enjoyable. The process was basically:
Person A: I think we should try this!
Person B: Alright, let me code it!
(Everybody plays it, discusses the results)
Repeat.
After a week or so of that, we had what was in the final game. The rest was polishing up the look and bug fixing.
And yes, the stars in the As are exactly what you think they are. Travis Doggett is one helluva artist!

You're on GAF? sweeet.
There's no doubt about that since it combines "fart apps" (AppStore meme) and cats (internet meme)

These are all the things I don't like about app store apps, then I saw Grant Kirkhope's name in there and it is already purchased.

Here is also more explaination about my point of vue.... because my previous post coud seem harsh and I don't want to imply that there wasn't any work done here. It's just not what I'm looking for.
Maybe when the App Store first came out... It's not that I don't think it's funny in its own special way but it's that I won't pay or even download things that I would never have tried on any other gaming system (I'm not talking about apps obviously, only iOS games).
It's not nostalgia and it's not that I don't want games at all on iOS (I have plenty and I first said to my wife when entered this thread that I'll look at this because it's made by actual developpers and gaming specialists) but I think that if we want the iPad to find its right place in the heart of gamers (and like this I think it could help the industry in long term, not only for a few years and then do the opposite on more classic gaming plateforms) we must push quality games. No need for 20 hours long complex games but good use of touch controls implemented into innovative but accessible games.
As for your game it can be fun for a few hours and 99cts is nothing but I don't want to spend money because it's "nothing". I would feel like just giving money and not paying because I think it's what I want.
15$ can be ok even for an iOS game if I want to play it. The price people are ready to pay depends on their budget not only on the quality of the game, particularly on iOS because most of them can't evaluate the quality of the work that had been done... ence everyone is willing to pay for 99cts only games.
Edit: good thing more complex games are coming

Nothing wrong with that, I'd do the same for Yuzo Koshiro. At this price you might as well be buying a single.
I feel like the name is doing the game a disservice. It's no GoTY but it's much better than the bottom-of-the-barrel apps you'd expect when cats meet farts.

It's pretty terrible. There's basically nothing to it, you just tap icons for 10 or so seconds until the cat emits a hideous (and hideously loud) foghorn sound for some reason. I took to simply muting my phone every time I cleared a 'stage' - if you can call them that. Graphics are blurry and pixelated too, it doesn't look like it was made for a retina screen even though I know that can't be the case.
It's not worth the time spent downloading it let alone 69p. There are much better games available at the same price point. It's simply a bad idea, badly executed.

Scrolling through the fart names in Fartcraft seems to crash the app. Otherwise it is a fun little game

How long before an expanded 3DS eShop version with more Kirkhope Banjo-style music?
3D gaseous emissions...delightful! ^^

I think the trailer is more fun than the game. I like the presentation though.

True but does not mean that getting high scores and having fun should not but a qualifier for a game.
also game is getting way more attention right now from other press and media:

So, I am supposed to give them a dollar ironically?
Uninspired juvenile shit is uninspired junevile shit whether or not it is winking at me. The winking part just makes me want to punch it in the face for being smart enough to know better but lazy enough to not bother striving to reach higher.
I dont buy games ironically, even for $1. There are plenty of devs willing to actually try who deserve that $1 more.

Haha, I think I'm going to pass on this, but I'm looking forward to more iOS games from these guys. The song at the end of the trailer was so Banjo-Kazooie it hurt.
I think you missed the purpose of the game.
