"LED powered train madness"

It's been a while since I've spotted a new review of ElectroTrains on the web, but saw this nice one this morning:

Dunno why they reviewed such an old version though, since 1.5 has new maps and features?

52,000 new players

Just got yesterday's download figures from iTunes connect. Hope all these people are enjoying the game and say nice things about it! The free promotion ends at 5pm today (UK time), so get downloading if you want it for free. If you stumble upon this blog after ElectroTrains goes back to full price, then do check it out anyway - it only costs a dollar (or 69p) - and I promise you'll love it!

ElectroTrains - get it for free!

ElectroTrains is now free on the the App Store. If you've been holding back, unwilling to spend that dollar (or 69p), now's your chance to play my fantastic little first production for the iPhone/iPad completely for free - no catches, no in-app-purchases - just the complete game.

New version released!

Massive update to ElectroTrains is now live on the app store, with 3 new maps, signals, fast-forward button and tweaks to the scoring system.

Map 6 - one of the new maps.

More maps coming

Many people have requested more maps for ElectroTrains, particularly more easy or medium ones...

The good news is that I'm almost finished the next update to ElectroTrains, which adds a new set of 3 maps, signals, and a fast-forward button so experienced players still get a bit of a challenge during the first few minutes of each game, while not making it too hard for new players.

This will be a free update (I toyed with the idea of doing the new maps as an IAP, or even a seperate app, but was so pleased with the new maps and gameplay, I wanted everyone to get it).

The other good news is that I've sold enough copies of ElectroTrains to be able to pick up a new iPad soon, so a future version (may) support retina iPad display in addition to the existing retina ipod/iphone support.

Work in progress screenshots below:

Game Center Support

New version of ElectroTrains now available on the App Store. The new version has (much requested) support for Game Center so you can now see how your scores compare to players around the world.

The leaderboards are starting to fill up, and someones already beaten my best score on map 2! :-(

I've also recently got hold of a first-gen iPod touch, and discovered a few graphical glitches - so these have been fixed up too!

New Release out

A bug-fix release of ElectroTrains went out at the weekend, which fixes the couple of bugs that came up. Hopefully I'll have some time soon to work on the next release which will have some new maps and gameplay.
