Hey, I'm making an iOS game. It's an arcade brawler with simple left/right tap controls. You uppercut, midair slam, and jab armies of monsters for huge combos, in a randomized dungeon with branching paths. You can also ride a raptor that shoots lasers out of its mouth, or turn into a gnome that has to fight giant bees.

It's coming this fall. It'll be free(ish), similar to Temple Run.

This looks awesome . When do we get to play it?

[Tuba]

Looks very good! I'm curious, the video shows some cool air-combos, how does the controls work exactly?

Already added to my watchlist. I'm super excited.

ra51: A month or two, most likely. We're adding more stuff.

Pretty simple controls:

Tap with left thumb to uppercut+jump, or midair-slam if in the air. The slam makes you fall faster, much faster if you have the Quick Slam power equipped.

Tap with right thumb for a straight punch. Slow taps do a dashing lunge that increases your speed, fast taps does quick flurries of jabs.

Hold both thumbs down to block/stand still, though this takes energy that would probably be better used filling your meter to trigger Supermoves.

Looks like a big clusterfuck.

What kind of timing is required?  If you just mash randomly, how hard will you get your ass kicked?

You'll do fine initially, at least for surviving the first few enemy types that spawn. The higher combos require smarter juggling of enemies. Also, as your score goes up more enemy types and harder variants start spawning, which require more precision.
