News and reviews

The famouse iPhone app review site, AppVee.com reviewed Star Ride, giving it a nice 4/5.
"Star Ride is a fun and rewarding game with a unique style and appearance. The hand drawn graphics are high quality and give the game loads of charm. The sounds are captivating and soothing. With all the cookie cutter Apps in the Store, Star Ride is a nice burst of fresh energy. If you like carefully crafted games with nice feel and pick up and play ability, Star Ride is a must have."


Guardian.co.uk also included Star Ride in its "10 essential iPhone games of the summer" chart. You can find the article here.
"A gently soothing oddity which requires you to propel a hand-drawn character into the night sky by leaping from star to star. The synth-laden music and twinkling sound effects lull you into an almost hypnotic state. Perfect for stressful commutes"

Stay tuned for news on the next update.

Star Ride 1.1 is out

The first update was just released on the Appstore.
Now you'll be able to share your score online, thanks to Geocade.com support for global and geotagged leaderboards.
Have fun!


Update:
There's a problem with the italian localization, instead of the localized text, a debug place holder is displayed. Sorry for the issue, but during the playtest it was working fine :/
Anyway, we sorted out the bug and submitted a patch to Apple.


italian version:
C'è un problema con la localizzazione italiana: invece del normale testo, viene visualizzato del testo di debug. Ci scusiamo per l'inconveniente, durante i test funzionava tutto correttamente. Abbiamo risolto il problema e sottoposto la patch alla Apple, sarà disponibile a breve.

Star Ride Lite

Today Star Ride Lite was released. The lite version has a 1.000 points cap, and won't let you save your score.


We're still waiting for Apple to approve Star Ride 1.1, we submitted the update a couple of weeks ago, but the release of OS 3.0 is slowing down the review queue, so be patient ;)

Good news, bad news

Just a quick update:
Star Ride has been approved by Apple, and is ready to hit the App Store.
The bad news is: our dev contract isn't active yet, so we need to keep waiting for the green light. We'll keep you posted.
