Its Finished!

My first iPhone game is finished! Beach Rescue is a fun little game where you control two lifesavers who have to keep their beach safe. I've just submitted it to Apple for review. Hopefully it will be ready for sale in a couple of weeks.

Its been a fun little exercise. I've drawn the animations and I'm pretty happy with them. The screenshot doesn't really do them justice because you aren't seeing the movement. At the end of the day, its still just programming with the usual memory leaks and bugs. But playing around with the graphics, sound, gameplay, etc has been a lot of fun. Hopefully, others will find the game fun too play and the game becomes a bit of a hit.

The marketing for this will need to be different from the ITF Patterns app. I will have to contact a number of the review sites and see if I can get interest in the game. Its not something that you would expect anyone to google on. Mind you, google hasn't been very successful for me so far with ITF Patterns either. Google support has been quite pathetic. There is basically a five day turnaround for every question I ask them. At the moment I am getting hits on the content network but not the search network and I'm not getting satisfactory answers. Has not been a very pleasing experience at all.
