69p sale for most, if not all of EA games today and more than likely tomorrow (4th July).

Anyone playing Outwitters? Turn based multiplayer asynchronous strategy game. Rather good fun. If anyone fancies a match add me on Game Centre (Paulos G). I have to warn you though - I am really bad at it.

The basic game is free to download and gives you one team and two maps. I bought the Uber Pack which gave me two more teams, four more maps and free updates when new content is released.

Trying it out along with also Pocket Heroes.

Hopefully it won't be frowned upon if I show something of my latest game?

I've not been on these boards so much over the past couple of months but that's because I've been slaving away on this bad boy. It's out soon on all your favourite mobiles and tablets and will allow you to compete against your Facebook friends no matter what device they're playing on.

It's also going to be free, so hopefully you'll all give it a shot when it's out - before the month's done all things going well.

You are just showing off now!

Looks great, very slick.

[gospvg]

Look's great & I like the style. but can I be critical?
Another running game? It has a few twists from what I can see in the video but isn't that genre already overrun?

Good one. Why free? Dlc for levels?

Nah you just got charged for watching the trailer!

Ha, the criticism's more than fair - ultimately, I just design a game limited to the confines that I'm restricted to (if you are able to read between the lines). I've just made an attempt to crank the genre up a notch and to do it as best as I possibly can.

And I genuinely do feel that we've been able to make it *feel different* to the competition when you actually play it; a bit of a tweak to the somehow-standardised controls (no tilt needed in this one) has allowed for rather more intense gameplay, and the Facebook integration will hopefully bring a much more competitive element to this game than the alternatives on the App Store.

I can fully understand genre fatigue, though, and - as I say - it's not necessarily a genre I'd have personally chosen to have gone for. But I'm still very proud of how it's turned out and, hopefully, the gameplay and overall quality will lift it above the competition.

Good one. Why free? Dlc for levels?

It's free because that's where the vast majority of App Store visitors have forced the market to go. The IAPs aren't for anything that the dedicated player can't attain through normal gameplay. If you play and enjoy the game, there's no reason why you'll ever need to pay for anything. We do hope that player appreciation will be rewarded, though - it's a gamble, but the game will really benefit from people being able to show it to their friends, have them download it without having to ponder paying any money, connect to friend-based leaderboards easily via Facebook and compete with each other for high scores.

The sad fact of the matter is that the paid charts just don't fund mobile games of this budget anymore - even 69p has become a barrier to many - so we've had to look at alternative avenues.

Hope this helps explain things a little; thanks for taking the time to check out the teaser video, guys

Appreciate the response, when is release date?

[MrMarbles]

Next week is looking likely for iOS. Android devices may get it a couple of days earlier to give the servers a chance to warm up.

I'll edit this with a definite date if one gets officially revealed.

EDIT: It's been announced today that Agent Dash will be released on August 2nd. I'll just edit this post right here and hope that someone notices so that I don't become some kind of awful spam monster.

Blazing Star is out for iOS!
