Hey Folks!

It’s time to take to the skies, strap a gun to your thumb and fight the enemy in this fast-action, adrenaline-fuelled, thumb shoot ‘em up!

Thumb Space is here!   Download now on the app store

Check out the trailer:​









We need your help designing the next ship that will be added to the fleet!

Slap the creative grease onto your thumbs and start tinkering. The design must have an area to place your trusty thumb, fit neatly into a square and of course, keep it family friendly. Anything else goes!



It doesn’t matter if you have the drawing skill of a two thumbed human or a 4 thumbed chimp we’d love to see what you come up with.

To enter, head to Touch Arcade and drop a reply! Competition ends 14th May

Good luck, Thumbkind is relying on you

Just finished Thumb Spaces unlockable weapons so I thought I'd show them off!



From left to right: Missile, Laser, Plasma Beam, Nuke and Rainbow Ray

Tons of progress made since I last posted!

- Weapon tweaks: I've made the bullet and laser allot more chunky. After allot of similar feedback I decided to update them. I've also added a trail and some more details to the missile.

- Magnets and shields: Added magnet and shield consumables. Magnets pull the scrap towards you and shields essentially give you an extra life!

- Prizes!: Watch an add, pop a prize. Prizes range from scrap to shields and magnets.

- Loot drop: Collect 1500 scrap and unlock a loot drop! Smash the loot crate and see what you unlock. Unlocks can be ships, weapons, trails, themes, mods, shields and magnets.

I'm currently wrestling with getting in app purchases implemented and a couple of tweaks after feedback. After the shop is implemented I should be ready to upload to the App Store!

- Sounds and music is working!
- Achievements implemented!
- First in app purchase successfully tested!
- App icons designed and implemented (thanks to twitter and tumblr for the suggestions)!

Made some good progress this week, here's how the app icon turned out:

Initial concepts


Further iterations


Final

For the rest of today, I'll finish hooking up the remaining in app purchases. Then it's just the final polish and submission to apple!

Tutorial complete! Nothing too fancy, just a couple of interactive prompts when you first play.
The remaining iap's are all hooked up now too, very little left to polish before I submit to apple!
