HI Kaotick labs, I´m not sure but I think I watched some images on the forum Spanish of GP2X, I´m wrong?¿, make some time what yours are working in this game, not?¿.

Well the graphics are very nice.

Good luck on AppStore.

Un saludo, Iván J.

Yes, mentalthink. You are right!
I posted a video in gp2xspain showing an alpha demo of the game.

Here is the link of the video you are refering,  is the first alpha version so don´t to take to much in consideration:

Thanks for all the comments, I really apreciate the feedback.
We were a bit worried about the retro style animation that could scare the people, but eitherway we like it and we are even happier if you like it too.

iPhone land seems dominated by flash animations. Is time to become retro! :P

@kaotik - where did you see it was cracked? can you see if Dr. Shiver is, too???

Did you implement the iPhoneIsCracked() ??
Title: Re: DefCon Z - iPhone Game
Post by: kaotiklabs on 2010-Jun-28
@Kitty - four hours after the release google was flooded with links to the cracked app. Just search for "defcon z"  :(

Dr. Shiver seems to remain uncracked, at least is not in the main cracked games webs. using iPhoneIsCracked()?

I didn´t implement iPhoneIsCracked() but I tested it. I don´t remember very well why I discarted it, probably it was not working or crashing.
Eitherway I tried it sometime ago, maybe now is ok.
I shoud check it in the next update.

Eitherway, I´m not really worried. After all, those guys would never pay for my app. And well, is like a kind of publicity.
