Solar Max - Physics-Based Space Adventure for Mobile!

Kovac

Hey guys!

I just wanted to share my first self-published iOS game that I’ve been working on - Solar Max. It’s an extremely simple physics-based survival game; by tapping the left and/or right half the of screen you boost Max’s thrusters and need to grab more oxygen tanks before you run out of air.

There’s a bunch of random space junk to dodge and avoid, and the world is procedurally generated with oxygen tanks, snax and debris.

It’d be great if you gave the game a shot! It has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you understand the handling it becomes quickly satisfying to cruise around.

Thanks!

This forum can be so weird. I got more responses on my I'm Going Gray!! thread. And here is a guy who is actually releasing his own game and you've got nothing to say? I honestly don't understand this crowd at times.

@Kovac: Well, I can't watch youtube vids until late at night on this satillite connection due to bandwidth limitations but I'll check out Solar Max when I can!

Haha thanks, Pancakes, that gave me a good laugh. I agree some threads pull the right interests so it's not surprising some get buried along the way (or maybe the game just isn't that appealing). I did put a lot of energy into this silly little game though, and it's my first game released and everything under my own name instead of working with a publisher and it feels very satisfying.

I worked on this game for a few months after my 9-5 and am really happy I got it to the point of releasing on the App store; it's easy to make excuses after hours for not putting in the effort to pursue your own personal goals after you've already put in a full day's work. I've been on PC for over a decade and this while I'm not much of anything besides a lurker to the boards, this is the type of place I'm most excited to post these kinds of milestones to.

Thanks again!

Hey man keep going. This game is just the beginning. All those hours of effort keep adding up!

I don't actually have an iphone so I can't play it but I did watch the vid now and it looks and sounds pretty solid to me!

Well the game looks adorable. Congrats!

There is literally nothing to discuss.
It's nice that the developer managed to pull off his own little game, I guess, it is noticable milestone, but thats it

Haha I like that Dinosaurs & pizza are hazardous space junk. It is adorable indeed! Keep it up

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'd love to hear any thoughts/feedback you have if you do get around to playing it - my first update will come in the next week or so, so any words are greatly appreciated!
