Yeah, an update!

I just released version 0.9.9 a second ago, recent changes are:

- Added a Calibrating-Function, this should fix the bug that it's not woring on the moto xoom, if it still doesn't work, please sent an e-mail asap!
- Added an option with which you can align the buttons on the left or right side of the screen -> improving one-hand playing
- Fixed the character-selection bug on HTC Hero (yes you can stop giving bad ratings because of that now)
- Added a new Character!

and we even made the cat unlockable for the free version!

Enjoy! I could upload some screenshots of the new character now but the screen-capture function of my phone somehow bugs around, I'll probably add some of those later! Oh and it's a sheep, btw.

What the- ?

Ha, I thought nobody would actually read this blog, that's why it wasn't frequently updated.... but, I checked just now, and we actually have a bunch of visitors, that's amazing, I'll make sure to post the updates sooner and more often ;)

Future Updates.

As you might have seen, piggy drop doesn't have a 1.x.x version number. That's because it's not finished yet. There are still a lot of features that we will add in the up coming weeks.

1. Some new gameplay possibilities. You don't have to use those but if you do, you might get a better score.
2. Improved graphics.
3. Sounds.
And we will add new game modes from time to time. Like "classic" or "disco".

SCORELOOP!

Piggydrop does have an online highscore! We added scoreloop support as a easy to use and decent leaderboard. Try to get to the top of the list!

0.9.6.3

This night piggydrop was updatet to version 0.9.6.3. We added a mole for the full version and some bug fixes, graphic improvements and new highscore layout for both, ad-supported and full game.

Some bug fixes and some nice particle effect

Update finished and new features for free version

Our new design is almost done and we put some new features in the free version. Since it is ad supported now it has almost all the features of our full version. And another update will arrive today and brings even more awesomeness :)

Due to some problems (ram management etc.) with weak smartphones we decides to umpublish our free version untill it is fixed.

COMING SOON! New interface

Version 0.9.1 and LITE Version

A new version of Piggy Drop is online
changes are:

And even better, there's also a free lite version of the game now, it has all the features of the full version except that you can only save 1 Highscore instead of 10 and you can't unlock characters, the gameplay and powerups are still the same though!

Version 0.9 released!

Enjoy! If you have any question about any of those changes please leave a comment on this post ;)

New PowerUP

Added a new powerup or rather powerDown which shoots you straight up in the air
I also modified the fire a bit so it might either harm or help you, except if you play the dragon it'll always be good for you

Screen of the new PowerUP

(click to enlarge!)

A simple red arrow pointing upwards, nothing special atall.

Improved the platform shrinking and extending powerUps

I updated those two powerUps, because it had almost no effect atall in the last version, I also added some colorfull glowing effect to those platforms
Screens:

(click to enlarge!)

Green PowerUp: Increases the distance between the platforms

Red PowerUpDown: Shrinks the holes

Other things I did: Imrpoved performance, doesn't allocate that much memory anymore, hope it works better on some weaker devices now

Hint to unlock characters

I added a tiny note about how to unlock the characters
I'll also show a screenshot of those hints here, so you won't have to wait until the next update to see them:

I also fixed some bugs about the teddy glowing like mad when activating it's special move and the penguin's air-speed statistic crossing its border
