Ouch! version 1.4 submitted to Apple!

We have submitted version 1.4 of Ouch! to Apple, hopefully it will be approved within a week or so. This version adds 1 big new feature (and also some new props as well) :

Replay Sharing!

One of the best things about Ouch! is the ability to save and watch a replay of something funny or amazing that happened while you were playing the game. With this new update, you will now be able to share your replays with all of the other Ouch! players around the world.
Because of technical limitations, custom faces (for example a face you made of your brother) cannot be shared... players who download your scene will see exactly what happened, with a character exactly the same size and shape (and outfit) as yours, but with the custom face replaced with a standard face. Hopefully the replays will be just as funny/amazing/interesting/ridiculous with a standard Ouch! face :)

We've also added a few "summer" themed props to the game:

1. Backyard BBQ
2. Bicycle (left and right versions)
3. Lawn Mower (left and right versions)
4. Lawn Chair
   

Ouch! v1.3 approved, thousands of scenes uploaded!

Ouch! v1.3 was approved by Apple a little over a week ago, and the scene sharing feature has been a big success! So far over 3,000 scenes have been uploaded by Ouch! players, which is truly amazing! There are some really great scenes in there.

We are constantly monitoring the scene sharing system, and making improvements to it. So far we have added more search features, fixed some bugs, and made the process of approving scenes simpler.

We've received many comments suggesting that the ability to rate scenes, and add descriptions for scenes is something that players want, so we are looking into adding those features in the future. We're not the most experienced web development team though, so these things take some time.


We are also hard at work on the next update to Ouch!, which will add more props and content, and a few features that we think players will be excited about.

Ouch! Version 1.3 submitted to Apple

Version 1.3 of Ouch! has been submitted to Apple, and is now in review. Hopefully if there are no problems the update will be available in about a week or so, depending on how busy the reviewers are at Apple.

Version 1.3 adds 1 big feature: scene sharing!

Anyone will now be able to upload their custom scenes directly from inside the game, and browse and download scenes created by other players. You can sort through the available levels by date, tag, or number of downloads... and even click on a username to view all levels by that creator. Updating your scenes is easy as just reuploading them as well.

We're very excited about this feature, so hopefully the update will be approved soon!

Ouch! v1.3 - Scene Sharing!

We will explain how it all works in more detail once we get closer to releasing the update, but below are a few screenshots to show the current work in progress.
