Breaking news!
PocketGamer just chose One Tap Hero as one of the top 10 best one-button games on iPhone
Thanks PocketGamer! We are proud of that.
Making mobile games’ control simple is our philosophy, we believe there are a large amount of non-gamers, casual gamers and mid-core gamers on mobile like game with simple control. They will changed the game market a lot!

Trip to San Francisco

Thanks for the Chartboost University program, Paul(Lead programmer of us) and me (Wesley) took a 20 days trip to San Francisco last month. It’s an amazing trip. We learned a lot in CBU and opened our eyes. If you take a look of the schedule you will understand what I mean.

We visited Kabam, Gree, PoecketGem, Sequoia Capital on Sand Hill Road and worked in Chartboost’s office for ten days.
Chartboost is a very developer-friendly company, they take care of the small developers, I believe they will definitely get benefit from this attitude in the near future.

Our game Finger Balance is on the taxi in San Francisco, it’s a big surprise. Thanks for Chartboost, again.

After CBU, we attended GDC, it’s my second time to GDC but it’s still exciting, I met a lot of old friends.

Justin looks like a super star on the IGF show and FTL even get some awards from the developer’s choice award, that’s great! Congratulations to you, Justin!

One Tap Hero on Ouya!

Wesley — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 11:48:03 +0000

The Ouya version of One Tap Hero released last week. As an early backer pledged $600, we get the developer version console, so that we can work on the Ouya version a little bit earlier. Develop games for Ouya is really easy and smooth for us because we have experience on Android. Ouya is a very indie-friendly console, as part of the inide-dev community, we are looking forward Ouya will be the next big thing!

BTW, the official android version is in debugging, we will release it soon on Google Play.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
