While at GDC we also prepared the next major update to Radio Flare for you. It has already been submitted and should go live this week. Actually the new text is already online on the iTunes App Store but the Application itself is still the old version. We just hope that Apple accepts the update soon.

With the 1.2 update Radio Flare is part of the Feint online community that spans many exciting games. Feint features:

- Friend lists
- Global and game specific chat rooms
- Online leaderboards
- Player walls
- Facebook and Twitter integration

New features in Radio Flare:

- New game mode: Bomb Run (see the below picture)
- A tutorial for newcomers
- Bug fixes and graphical enhancements

We are at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco right now to present Radio Flare. I’m happy to remind you that Radio Flare is a finalist for the Audio Achievement in the 2009 Independent Games Festival Mobile Competition. If you are there come visit us at the IGF Mobile Pavilion at Moscone North. You can find us there from Wednesday through Friday.

We are also at work perparing the next update to Radio Flare. Until the release of the update the game is on sale for $ 0.99!

We think that fellow iphone game developers also feel the need to get as much publicity as possible for their apps. So we decided to publish our contacts. We made a wiki at appreviews.wikidot.com
This is a list of sites that report on or review iPhone Games. Feel free to extend it!

Check out this new gameplay video of Radio Flare! It shows you more of Radio Flare’s exciting action and highlights new enemies and stages added with the recently released 1.1 update. If you don’t have Radio Flare yet, grab it soon. The sale is prolonged till monday!

Another 9/10 review for Radio Flare just came in. This time it’s from iphoneworld.ca. We won a silver medal and received compliments like “I really enjoyed the sound the game had to offer” and “this game is very pleasant to look at”. I’m so glad we updated the graphics in the last update.

The review concludes: “This game doesn’t get old fast, there’s lots of good playing available. From the colors, to the music, to the actual gameplay, there’s something there for everyone.”

9/10  Points, silver medal

A great morning starts with a great review. This time around it is AppCraver, one of the leading review sites out there in the interwebs. I have to tell you it feels good to read sentences like: “Radio Flare’s soundtrack is based on an excellent electronica track by DJ Flow. With the added rhythm of your targeting and shooting, you are, in a sense, creating a personalized soundtrack when you play Radio Flare”. This is exactly the kind of feeling we wanted to invoke with the game in the first place.

AppCraver’s goes on to say flattering things like “… I now have to pry my iPhone out of the hands of my friends who cannot stop playing. One of my friends said her only complaint is that it is hard to use an iPhone when your palms and fingers get sweaty from excitement.”about our game.

9/1o Points. Read the full review of Radio Flare here.
