I really like the tutorials from html5rocks.

While the other engines are good and portable, trying to integrate some native stuffs is really a pain and not so straight forward as the native one. For example, Game Center, OpenFeint integration, photo libraries, camera, etc..

With monkey it's no problem, because it does translate/compile into a real XCode project - so you have a native project (you can also wrap it of course).

You might also have a look at Corona for iOS / Android. Everthing is written in LUA - it's very easy and has a big and easy-to-use api (I don't like LUA that much, because it isn't type-safe, but I know some developers who LOVES it and they have done serveral cool games with it).

I think the basic mechanic is quite nice, but you should improve it so it feels more smoother.

I think when executed right this could be turned into a nice, entertaining game.

I quite like Monkey already (http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/). It's similar to BlitzMax/BlitzBasic but you can choose between various target languages (AS3, Javascript/HTML5, iOS C++, C# XNA...). It's very good for small 2D Games.

Looks great. Sent you a review copy ;-)

You can also try to post it to other video portals like veoh, vimeo.. I've uploaded my trailer on a lot of portals, here are some numbers for you:

youtube - 293 views
sevenload.com - 207 views
dailymotion.com - 21 views
vimeo.com - 424 views (this one is embed in my website)
megavideo.com - 94 views
veoh.com - 19 views

Not many views, but if you add them up, better than nothing.

Is it hard to get on sites like rockpapershotgun.com or gametrailers.com ?

BTW: Your game looks awesome!

Wheew! Just finished the Linux port.

If somebody wants to test it for me on Linux, please PM me and will send you the full version to have a look at it. Thanks! Will work on the demo version now!

I'm working Monday - Wednesday at my main job. Yes, 3 days/week. It's enough to pay my bills. And I have a job that is fun (I'm working at a big developer/publisher of browser based games). The other days I work on my own games. I think this split is perfect for people who want to go indie.

I'm also feeling more motivated at my day job than before when I was working 40 hours / week, because besides working on my indie games I have also enough time for myself for sports, playing games, going to the cinema etc.

I found it very frustrating when I was working 5 days/week and doing some own stuff on the weekends or at night. This always worked a few days-weeks but then I was burned out and I stopped working on my own projects for serveral weeks. Later when I got back it often was hard to get into the flow again.

So if you have the possibility talk to your employer and ask if you can start working part-time. It's great!

I'm still working on the Linux port and free demo version. But I finished a small gameplay trailer today.

You can watch it on my website at:

Thanks.

I'm currently working on a free playable version. I hope I will have it ready by the end of this week.

I just released my latest game Captain Backwater (for Windows & Mac OS X - Linux will follow soon).

It's a puzzle game with fresh mechanics.
