Mini games? check!

The new version of DynamoKid for Android should arrive next Tuesday (november 2nd, 2010) bringing even more gaming-goodness: Mini games!  On top of the many other content we added to this update, we also included two mini games!

So stay tuned! Next week, november 2nd we release a brand new DynamoKid on Android!


a new version coming #android

Very soon we will tell you more, but for now, just enjoy the following screenshots showing you a little hint of what’s coming:


Running the castle

Just as the kid himself, we don’t like to sit still! So we have been hard at work on the next update (version 2.2) for DynamoKid Touch. The major news will of course be the world we introduce. You can get a little look at some mockup images below, and we included a screen of the new world selection map.

As you might also notice there is not just a new island added, but there is also a small question-mark island added to world one! This is a hidden world full of bonus stars ! see if you can find the entrance.. we will be adding more of them in later updates if you guys like it.

We have also made some improvements to the engine on Android, so the game should run smoother on older devices due to some smarty arty stuff we did.. you will love the speed!

Version 2.2 is now being tested by our playtesters, and in the meantime we will work on the iPhone version of the code, so that we can release the new version hopefully very soon!


Restyling the interface

The current interface, let’s face it, is crowded at the least. Since we have more plans for future updates, we might need more room on the various screens. With that in mind we started work on a new interface for the upcoming update.

The new interface will give some more room for adding options, and it’s also more fitting with the rest of the game (more bright and “happy”). As you might have noticed there are now two buttons for music and soundeffects.. we had various requests from people concerning music, so there will be some great 8-bit style tunes in the update.

For the Android version we managed to add some great speed enhancements, making the game even smoother on even the oldest devices (g1, htc hero, etc).


Teaser world 3 and #iPhone update

Yesterday Apple was kind enough to approve the DynamoKid Touch update for iPhone.. so that takes care of the ugly sound bug ;) It also fixed some framerate (speed) issues on iPhone 3GS devices.

In the mean time we have been hard at work on the next update for DK. The update will feature the hot new world we introduced a couple of weeks ago, and also a nice world-map. If you don’t believe us, how about checking out the below trailer.. it shows it all!


Hot new world!

The iPhone version of DynamoKid is now waiting for Apple’s approval, this basically means we have time to start working on some new ideas for both Android and iPhone versions. We had the sketches ready for world 3, so finally work has started on adding a full new world to the game! It will be one hot world, since it’s based around volcano’s. We plan to include a host of new monsters, and some special effects to really heat things up.

With the new world we also hope to include a world-map, so that you can actually pick the levels you want to play, so keep coming back for updated info on all those new goodies we plan to add!
