Pewdiepie - Attack Of The Barrels - iOS game

s.horsfield · Jan 3rd 2013, 4:43am

Hey bros,

This is my first post, but i'm a longtime bro!

Over the past couple months I've been working on an iOS app (the first Pewdiepie iOS game I believe) and it's just arrived on the iOS App Store. It's not the most amazing game, but it's fun and i've found myself spending hours playing it. The goal is simple. Pewd's has been trapped by BARRELS and he has to escape. Sadly, we all know barrel's... There evil and there trying to kill Pewd's (who you play as). Barrels continue to throw objects at you until they kill you (hopefully they won't). Mr. chair, barrels themselves (suicidal basterds), untrusted statues, Jennifer and spiders all make appearances (by being thrown at you) as you climb and dodge the objects you get a higher and higher score. That's the premise of the game, unique, simple and fun

I figured i'd tell as many bro's about it as possible! The one issue at the moment is that Apple charges $99 US a year for the development program. I'm not looking to earn any money from this, but I don't want to lose any either as i'm in college and i'm not exactly rich... So what i've done is charge .99c for the first few copies to pay off the cost. It will then go free and be available to anyone. I'll update it as time goes on and theres still stuff I want to add (more levels etc)

I wanted to pay something back to the broarmy (and Pewds) for being so awesome!

App: itunes.apple.com/us/app/pewdie…els/id590969818?ls=1&mt=8

Remember... It's .99c until Apple is paid for the development fee then free forever and everyone!

It's not really unique since I have seen/played many times that platform climbing games that objects just "thrown" at you but I guess it would be fun.

Sounds like a really cool idea, Can you give us a heads up when it is approved?

Definitely. Thanks for your support

Remember there is always a chance Apple won't approve it for whatever reason. So it could take some time

Android is a little tricker to develop for. After the iOS version is done (all the extra features and levels are in) i'll start working on Android. There aren't any bugs in it from what I can see (I play tested for a couple hundred hours on different iOS devices) but after the bro's start using it i'm sure they will find some. So that's the priority right now

if so , you lost all my respect by being a leech on someone elses fame.

Approving by apple could take weeks tbh.

But I will deff try it if it's free.

I've submitted for an expedited review but according to Apple, 99% of New Apps have been review and accepted within 5 days anyway (as at 21 December 2012).

I'm not trying to profit off this at all. But i'm in college and if you weren't aware, it's hugely expensive so an extra $99 US on top of everything else doesn't really help me. But if I can find the cash i'll happily have it free. Otherwise 99c until the debts paid (debt meaning $99 Apple development program cost required to submit apps) then free for everyone.

Hmm oke, well my experience are weeks :P.

The app's been approved by Apple and is on the store worldwide! Currently there is one known bug... Objects can occasionally get stuck IN pewd's (probably the Barrel's messing up our code) but a fix is on the way shortly!

The barrels are back attacking Pewds in his new arcade adventure game!

I'm not sure if I'm ok with this description ... :huh:

Imo it gives the impression that pewds was involved in the development.
But then again ... I'm not sure if anybody really cares XD.

Sorry about that. I was referring to Pewd's as a character and not as a person. Funny how you can write something with one intended purpose and someone else get something completely different out of it. I'll look into changing it soon. Thanks for telling me!

I'm actually a kiwi as well but I use US pricing as that's more universal. .99c American is (using Apples magical never changing currency) is 1.29 NZ. Apple only pays 70% of the cost to the dev anyway (or in my case, right back to Apple until there fee is paid).
