Hi Guys

Yeah sorry about the upper case had a dodgy caps lock on previous keyboard. Swapped it over now LOL Anyway during the past 2 years we have been creating our debut app called "blast off bob." What makes this special to us is that we are total new comers to the app developing world and never attempted this before. Our company is called Sandlancer Games Ltd and there are just 2 of us. Myself who does graphics, art, design. My partner who is great in business etc so between us we decided to give it a go on the app front. It was a massive learning curve and we were surprised how much work was involved - just in the submission process alone! Never-the-less with determination and hours and hours researching we made it and on 11th Feb we released on app/google stores.

Me and my partner are around 30years old and were brought up on games like golden axe, pac man, ugg etc We decided to make our app in the retro style of the 1980's early 90's and I think we pulle dthis off. Its a simple platformer game using 2 buttons for our hero Blast Off Bob to fly across 80 levels across 8 different worlds resuing friends and dodging enemies. For us to actually have a working app has delighted us and we would like some feedback from the retro gaming world hence our posts.

If you guys want to download and check it out let me know on here the good/bad points. Your feedback would be fantastic! (see attached app icon so you know what you are looking for. Search for "blast off bob")

Look forward to hearing from you.

Andy

sorry for delay pete - both my kids have chicken pox so hands full - what do you think of the youtube video. new to th eapp world and this was my first trailer attempt so any feedback would be cool. at the min when you download blast off bob you only get the jungle themed world so releasing an update asap that gives you the first 2 levels of all the other planets so should be better variety then.
