Thanks to everyone for making Addicus HD a Top 25 Arcade game and a Top 25 Puzzle game on the iPad. Yet another update to the game just went live on the app store. Here’s what is new in this version:
Enjoy!
An update to Addicus HD just went live on the app store. Like so many other developers we had to develop Addicus HD without access to an actual iPad. Well we were among the throngs of people who picked one up last weekend and since then we’ve been doing a LOT of testing. Here’s what is new in this version:
Expect more updates soon!
When Apple employees are gaming on the iPad, they’re playing our own Addicus HD according to the “What We’re Playing” section of iTunes. Thanks Apple and thanks to you to for making Addicus HD a Top 100 Arcade and Puzzle game on the iPad. Keep popping those shrooms!
We had a terrific first weekend on the iPad store with both of our games ranking in the Top 100 in their categories. Thanks so much to everyone for playing!
We also managed to get our hands on an actual iPad, despite being a Canada-based shop. After getting to test Addicus HD on the iPad, we have already submitted an update to fix a couple of issues. Look for that and also an update to Poptweets HD coming soon.
Here are some photos of the games running in all their glory:
By now you’re basking in the warm glow of your new iPad. It still has that fresh-Apple-product smell, doesn’t it? You must be wondering by now what kind of game experiences this magical new device has to offer. Well look no further, because Get Set Games is releasing not one, but two totally awesome games for the iPad today.
Addicus HD is a super-addictive puzzle game about numbers. Tap on cute, jiggly mushrooms with numbers on them to add up to a goal number before the timer runs out. Score extra points by getting pairs, flushes, straights and tons of secret numbers. Add ‘em up quickly to unlock Overdrive mode and then watch as your score goes through the roof!
To celebrate the release of the iPad, we’re making Addicus HD available for the extra-low price of $3.99.
Speaking of addictive, Poptweets HD is a trivia game focused on celebrities with a twist: all of the questions are tweets from the Twitter accounts of the celebrities themselves. Poptweets HD shows you a tweet and it’s up to you to guess which celebrity said it. The constant stream of tweets from Twitter provides a trivia experience that is always fresh.
Poptweets HD also features deep integration with Twitter, so if you see a celeb you want to follow, you can do so from right within the game. If you see a tweet you like, you can retweet it or fav’ it from within the game.
Poptweets HD is available for Free.
It’s getting dangerously close to April Fool’s day (aka annual-make-the-internet-awful day) so I’ll make this quick to avoid having it confused with the hoaxes: not only are we going to be launching Addicus HD this Saturday April 3 along with the iPad, we are also going to be launching Poptweets HD.
Poptweets HD takes full advantage of the iPad’s large screen to bring you the funniest, most iconic tweets of the celebrities to you in trivia form. We’ve painstakingly re-written all of the tens of thousands of tweets that are in Poptweets (and boy do our wrists hurt), and we’ve re-worked the graphics. The result is a game that is simply stunning on the iPad. And it will have the same great price: Free.
Here are some screenshots to give you a taste:
We are happy to confirm that Addicus HD will be available for the iPad on the day that it launches: this coming Saturday, April 3.
Addicus HD is a super-sized version of the number-laden mushroom-popping puzzle game that you know and love on the iPhone and iPod Touch. It has everything that you loved about Addicus, but now you can experience it as a table-top game or in your lap. We have been working tirelessly in an effort to grow bigger, jigglier mushrooms that grow on an even more expansive terrain and we think we have reached a perfect balance.
Here are some screenshots of what you can look forward to:
