Hey everyone,

 

 

For the last year and a half I've been a busy man working on a Mobile Game for Android and iOS. The name of the game is Bocu.

From my Google Play description:

 

 

You must download this game! Why? Bocu is a challenging Puzzle Game. All you have to do is get the ball into its same colored hole. Sound easy? Let's see how clever you are.
 
Make sure you are quick and don't let those stars run out! Challenge your friends to see who gets the best time and makes the Bocu Leaderboard!
 
My Wife wrote that because she said my description was boring lol. I admit it's far more exciting now.
 
 
 
How do I get it?
 
 
ANDROID:
 
 
IPHONE:
 

Paid Version: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bocu/id969945177 ($0.99 USD.)

 
 
Note: Bocu is 50% off for a limited time.
 
 
Why should I get it?
 
Well, I made a game I knew I wanted to play. Basically something to keep me busy for minutes at a time while I was sitting on a "chair", thinking. This game really is quite fun and unique in my opinion. I put a lot of heart and soul into it and I truly hope that shines through.
 
 
 
Thanks for reading, I really hope you enjoy it!

I think that I had the honours of been the first person to download to download the free Android version :)

I must admit I have played the first 20 levels and enjoyed it. I thought the game was going to be quite hard at first as it appeared like there was a fair bit to take in on the tutorial levels, however I feel as a player i've been eased in to the game gradually. It seems quite easy to pick-up and get in to.

 

The only suggestion I have is very minor, maybe get the player to set their name before starting to play. I didn't realise I was one of the random guest people on the leader boards until a few levels in to the game.

 

Other than that everything seems fine to me I certainly plan to play some more tomorrow when i'm less tired. I also think this is exactly the type of game my mum would love so ill be sure to send her a link to it. Best of luck with the game!

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I'm glad that you're enjoying it. I don't want to be the one to tell you it gets way harder, so I'll just imply it lol. I'll see if I can work a way into setting a name when you first start, that's a good idea.

 

 

Congratulations on being one of the first to play the free version!

 

 

P.S.  I've heard that every time you tell your friends about my game a puppy is born. You like puppies, don't you?

For marketting reasons I cannot disclose those figures. Every one just play it safe and download it.

 

 

 

If it's not to much to ask, can you please port it to Windows Phone?

 

Hmm, never really thought of that market. I'll see what I can do, shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm just finishing up some Apple stuff and then I'll look into it.

You're missing out in my opinion. Not just because of my game, there are quite a few fun little games on mobiles.

 

I know there are good games for mobile....  I have tablets for movies/internet surfing. That's what I have been doing these days.

Then why did you click on this thread? :huh:

 

 

I was making a joke...  relax.  :p

Bocu is now available for free on the iOS App Store!

 

You can get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bocu-free/id981319949

A big thank you to all of you supporting me, maintaining visibility on the App Stores is a mission all in itself! I've had a lot of fun doing this though and will do it again!

Now that all versions I wanted available, are available, I'll start working on some updates and my next big project.

      The level of stupidity at Google and Microsoft is beyond belief. All they are doing by killing this is forcing people to jump over to Firefox and ditch them all together, therefore giving Firefox the market boost it needs to finally crush them all in the end.
