Yeah been loving the sliding. I'm not sure if its just me but I can't always slide... Any reason?

You
  • can only slide left and right
  • cannot slide pieces that are shaking
  • cannot slide pieces once the "fall" of the shaking parts has started.

Other than those rules, you should be able to slide whenever you want.

Very nice! I knew it was coming to PSM, but they (er, you) had very little info on their website.


edit:

Come of think of that, that kind of puzzles me. Why hide information about an upcoming game away on a trade group forum? Why not post it on your blog, or Facebook or something? Videos on youtube, put out press releases on Game Press.

I mean, I know PS Mobile is a very small market, that Penguin Party game is almost literally free (while they plan on selling level packs, right now it's donation ware, basically) and it only has 10,000. But at the same time, you really need to let people know about your games. No one else is going to do it for you. So many indie developer do almost no publicity, then are puzzled when their games don't sell.

We're sort of waiting on some more things for a proper marketing blitz, but you're right. I'll have to jazz up the website. Especially before E3.

Thank you.
 
Ascent of Kings is kind of fun. Wish there was a little more done to the environment to make it not feel so dull.
 
I went on a shopping spree, and I have a question about Rock Boshers DX...the text windows are covered up by random pixels in many cases, is that how it's supposed to be, or a bug?

Bug brought on by the PSM 1.11 Runtime package, same issue as with Bullion Blitz

LittleToaster said:
It never did that to me when it came out. I played it again right now and it's doing the same thing. The game has no updates, so I'm guessing it has to be the new PSM Runtime Package that is messing it up.

Yup, I let both devs know about this after the live stream. Bullion guys are looking into fixing it.
 
Thanks kass, I've gotta say that your youtube efforts are great, they sold me on a bunch of games I wouldn't have known about. Now that you have the direct feed going I'm going to watch your channel for new releases, thanks for the effort.
 
Might as well give Sword of Rapier a go I guess, the first level is free.

Also, ugh:

Edit: Holy fuck, Yu-Nama's price has literally doubled on the Australian store. It's now $10.
 
Well, Cytus was the only one I wanted and it's not there. I just tried Sword of Rapier and couldn't make it more than a minute in. It was terrible IMO.

Sounds like I wasted $5! I am inquiring about Cytus since everything else on my list that I received was there

Yea it was an introductory price.

It's a nice game but it's essentially just a match 3 game with somewhat unique mechanics reusing the art assets and music from the Badman games. It's only $5.99 on the US store but you could get Bejeweled 3 which has 8 modes for $4 on iPad. I've bought much worse games for $6 though (Gun Commando)
 
What is the consensus on Haunt the House? The visual style is nice and the gameplay mechanic seems interesing too, But the couple of mini-reviews Ive read theres hardly any replayability, so I am not sure if its worth the 3.49$.


Also I bought Life of Pixel today mainly because I felt bad for their kickstarter failure :(
 
Just heard back from the Cytus devs. They took advice from Sony and will delay the release until after E3. Something is brewing?

New release date is now June 26th.

A proper marketing treatment/revamp for PSM announced at E3 from Sony? Some titles there deserve some loving.

The only bad parts of the game : VERY short, no replayability as I remember.

But really charming and fun game. Artistically awesome, really easy to play and with an yep, hasn an interesting innovative gameplay mechanic. Girls love it.

I think that deserves the 3.49$ IMO and to follow these developers because they will deliver great gems soon.

Heh, in addition to Cytus Lambda, looks like the PlayStation Blog 'heads-up' just listed two more PSM games that were supposed to come out today but didn't.



Also, really enjoying Chiebura!

Boss Rush is a mode from Sword of Rapier, Cardboard Castle is next week :P

SCEE has the same list I got, but didn't get the updates.

Also Cytus is out if you click on the banner. Base game is free but then there are IAP (£9.69/€11.99)

The 10 free songs you're given (chapter 1) are quite cool. As with all music games, it's hit and miss though.

It looks like paying the £9.69 unlocks the other 5 chapters and the 10 exclusive songs. On iOS, it's £1.49 for the game and from the looks of it, you have to pay £2.99 for 2 chapters to get to where the PSM version is at (minus exclusive songs).

The only other bugbear I have is that playing while holding the Vita is tough :P. It's probably easier when it's lying down flat.
 
This might be a dumb question, but are there any regular ol' "Apps" on PlayStation Mobile? I've been thinking about porting my iOS App for the fun of it, certainly don't want to waste my time if there's no place for it though. It would give me an excuse to mess around with an interface that uses actual buttons and all that jazz. :)

Yes, there's a separate section for non-gaming applications. I've spotted things like a calendar, task list, and notepad.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that you can't make it free. If you price it for free, there will need to be some sort of IAP to get approved.
