Awesome eh! Please take a minute to skip on over there and vote for us. Thanks so much! Christmas update coming SOON!

Punch Quest has been submitted to Apple and is waiting for review. Madgarden is busy adding some additional features that will go in shortly after (or before if he gets them finished up). We are really excited about this game and can’t wait to have people playing and punching stuff!

In other news, Sword of Fargoal 2 Kickstarter Campaign was funded! It was a real nail biter right down to the last minute but thanks to generous backers who upped their pledges and new backers alike, it broke the $50K mark with just seconds to spare. Have a look if you’re interested at http://kickathon.net/ part “E” and catch a glimpse of our very own Madgarden (Paul Pridham), also with  Kevin Hill of ChronoSoft, Jeff McCord and Randy Nargi. All sweating it out while the last seconds ticked down.
As soon as the details are settled from the campaign, Madgarden will get back to work on Sword of Fargoal 2!

Lots of good stuff coming up from Madgarden so stay tuned!

I’ve fixed the problem already in the core, and will submit an update at the first available opportunity. Along with that update I will also include in the iPhone 5 widescreen support.

Expect this around mid October or so, after PUNCH QUEST is wrapped up.

Thanks a million!

Punch Quest is an arcade fighter (like Final Fight or Double Dragon) about pummeling hordes of enemies. Simply tap with your left and right thumbs to jab, uppercut, and midair-slam monsters in a varied, randomized dungeon with branching paths.

Customize your character with unlockable special moves and abilities. Get huge combos and unleash devastating Supermoves. Punch an egg that explodes, while you explode, and inside the egg is a gnome, then YOU ARE THE GNOME, and the gnome explodes after a bee sting.

Anyway, here’s what’s new in 1.1:

- Interactive controls in the form of two XY pads/sliders, and eight code preset trigger pads. Along with these comes new input variables (x, y, u and v).
- FAST FORWARD and REWIND controls, so you can scrub through your glitchtune in forward and reverse at various speeds.
- PAUSE control for the expression, and combined with the FF and RW buttons, you can now single-step through your expression’s wave output in both forward and reverse.
- Fullscreen visualizations, and transparent overlay modes for all screens, so you never have to be apart from the funky waves.
- Multiple named session saving, so you can set it up just how you like for performance
- Extra MUTATE button so you can mutate code and numbers separately.
- New screen navigation methods for

Here’s a nice lil’ screenshot demonstrating the pads:

Those pads/sliders are configurable, you can set them to be all pads, all sliders, or any combination. Once you include their respective variables in your expression, SH*T GETS REAL. The numbered pads are code presets, so when you touch one it insta-loads an expression without resetting state. You can do some pretty funky switchups with that.

I suspect it will take about a week to be approved… stay tuned. And make sure to send me any future feature requests. I still have a few outstanding requests, but intend to cover them next time.

Also fixed a few bugs including the “black boot” that some have reported… basically the custom colours just got all wonked out and everything is black but still working. If you know where the buttons are, you can navigate to the settings screen and reset it, heh. But, this update will fix that issue. You also get some more colours to pick from as an added bonus. The other main bug is one nobody would likely have noticed as it has to do with the update speed of the stack values. However, if you’ve got some tunes that make heavy use of the stack for feedback effects, i.e. lots of PICK and mixing, then your tune is going to sound different now… for better or worse. Well, for better in the long run, because it was a bug.

Finally. Added a few confirmation dialogs, since I’m pretty sure people don’t like to delete or overwrite things by accident. You can also delete exported WAVs from the app, it’s part of the new audio copy feature.

I’ve already got some cool features planned for the next update. You request ‘em, and if it makes sense and I am able, I add ‘em. So fire away!
