HoverBall in the app store

mzl.faeqycmg.png


Version 1.1 - Out now!

Description
HoverBall is a quick, easy to pick up game that's fast-paced, difficult, and addictive.

The concept is simple: keep the ball out of the red zone and between the walls. The ball hovers upwards on its own, but falls down if you are touching the screen. Tilt the phone left and right to move the ball horizontally and dodge obstacles (lightning bolts) falling from the top of the screen. Watch out for the walls, they close in every time the game speeds up!

A game of HoverBall only takes a minute, but after you start you won't want to put it down!

HoverBall also offers three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard, so that anyone can easily pick up and play or hone their skills.

More comments from the developer
In retrospect I definitely should have included the 1.1 update in 1.0, but I didn't fully know how to do it and was anxious to submit my first app. It really could be called 2.0 because the changes are so drastic, but also I wanted to keep it at 1.x since this should have been in originally.

Here is a video of the gameplay before I added tilt sensing and obstacles, which means that obstacles fall from the top of the screen during the game and you have to tilt left and right to dodge them. As well as this, the walls slide out at the beginning of the game and each time the green zone speeds up the walls slide in a bit. If you hit the walls or go into the red zone it's game over.

Please let me know what you think of the game, and thank you in advance to anyone who downloads it!
