December 8th, 2009Addicus in the Spotlight on OpenFeint’s Shiny New Site
December 5th, 2009
iPhone social game network OpenFeint launched version 0.1 of their new website today. The new site’s slick design is made even more beautiful by the loveable little shrooms of Addicus. For you see, Addicus is one of the games that OpenFeint has selected to feature in their spotlight.
We have so many good things to say about OpenFeint that I wouldn’t know where to begin. From the easy integration to the feature-filled product to the stellar level of support, they have all the bases covered. You can expect many more OpenFeint-enabled games from Get Set Games.

The reviews are pouring in one after the other and we are loving what people have to say about Addicus. This latest one is by appSafari.com. Money quote:
The graphics are not only cute (everything bounces), but eye-catching. The music and sound effects are also cute, but if you’re the type who needs silence to do math, you might want to turn them off. Addicus makes math fun–which hasn’t happened since maybe second grade–and it’s bouncy, colorful, and challenging, so it’s well worth a download. It’ll come in handy the next time a dinner bill needs to be split.

Addicus got another glowing review today along with a solid 4/5 score. This time from granddaddy of Mac magazines, Macworld. Here’s a sample:
Overall, Addicus is simple to play, cool to look at, and yet challenging enough to keep you coming back again and again. Not many games manage to look and feel so childlike while still engaging adults who haven’t done addition drills in years. Addicus is a perfect way to pass time on a bus or in a waiting room, if you can keep your swearing under control.

Pocket Gamer Interviews Get Set Games
November 9th, 2009
Pocket Gamer interviewed the Get Set Games crew about starting a new company and on the release of Addicus on the App Store:
We’ve been getting into the indie Game Jam scene here at the Toronto TOJam as well as the international Global Game Jam and had a blast making fast and furious games in a short time frame. Every time we finished a jam (making an entire game from the ground up in 48 hours), we had so much fun and were so stoked with the results there was always talk of getting our games out on Xbox Live or some other distribution network. After the last jam we did in May, we made a decision to actually do it and launched Get Set Games Inc in July.
