Cool! It got approved before the weekend. Well, here is our homage to Lima Sky's Doodle Jump. Thanks much to igor Pusenjak for collaborating. As you will see, we merely put a similar game mechanic in the clouds above the island(s). Lift a pygmy up in the air and drop him on a higher smaller cloud, and suddenly the pygmy bounces into a field of small clouds. Besides a normal white cloud, there is an electrified cloud that sets the pygmy on fire and sends him rocketing upward, a snow cloud causes the pygmy to ice up and inhibits his bounce height, and the wispy clouds disappear when you try to bounce on them. Go really high and you will see a mini-doodle jump guy! There is now a new achievement for the Feint board, and a new sacrifice, "flattened like a pancake"...lol.
I found this mini-game kind of tough but after a while realized it just takes practice and persistence. You kids will probably master it better than I anyway. But here's a tip....note that you can deflect the pygmy at the side of the screen.
P.S. Cheers to Rndmpro for his cool 3D Doodle Jump suggestion (below)....The truth is, that we had this update planned already, and our idea was eerily similar to his! We WERE encouraged to do it once we saw his concept art. Thanks Rndmpro!
so cool it was out at like 5 so kool we need a kraken
ReplyDeletei really want to know what the next update is about all i know is its gonna be called unveiled sunday
ReplyDeleteand i love this update as well really fun
reaaly fun update
ReplyDeletenice update
ReplyDeletebut i cant log in to the feint
whats wrong??
and i can´t log in to feint in other game that uses the feint also
i need help please!!
I'm not sure if it's a thing for new zealand, but why is pocket god asking if I'm over 17?
ReplyDeleteOoga Jump is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome update. I really like it although it could use a few tweaks like weaker gravity, some animation for when the pygmys are jumping besides the usual stiffness, and more distinction between solid and "fake" clouds unless of course that is intentional. Also maybe you guys could consider a background that changes with height so at, say 2000 oogles (or is it ooglettes?) stars start to appear eventually leading to the moon (with a cow jumping over it, course) or Jupiter. A new achievement could even be added called "My God...It's Full Of Stars" for reaching a certain height like 7000. Anyways, great job. This update got me to post for the first time and I don't post just anywhere... :D
ReplyDeleteMarlon Brando, that is a great idea! Pocket God is really slow and really laggy, and filled with glitches. However most of my interesting apps are like this, so I am afraid I must get the new iPod Touch when it comes out in September, as my 1st generation device just can not process most games.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I got to see my animation turned into an update! And it couldn't be more awesome! I like that you didn't make it easy. However, I agree with Marlon that you should add more distinction between the real and "fake" clouds.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, great update!
Kudos!
I LOVE the update!!!!! The mini game is great, challenging, and my brother is sure to get addicted to it once he really tries to play it. Also, Marlon Brando has some great ideas for the mini game. I like where he is going on this. The only thing I think would be a problem is the elevations he wants people to get to to see this stuff. The level of ability that he is setting is too high. I'm practically terrible at this mini game and I would say that I'm about average when it comes to video games. To add on to everything that he said, what if you could do the mini game with the bird or a marshmallowed pygmy. (the shark and T-Rex seemed too big) And what if when you played the game with a vampire-pygmy in the daytime you get some kind of power boost? Something like, every time he bounces on a cloud his bottom lights up on fire. It would also be cool to have the pygmy start at a higher elevation when you drop him on the fire that is on the second island. However, this update is really fun as is. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I know it is too early to ask this, but what is the next update going to be about? You don't have to answer if you think it is too early as well.
Fandreas23,
ReplyDeleteI don't think your idea stinks. I was just mad that your cousin was being a jerk and criticizing mine by telling me it would never work and nobody likes it. If you look at the slow news day comments, you can see what he said to all of us. Thanks for apologizing, and Bolt Creative came out and told him to stop. Thanks Allan!!!!
Hey, I love the update!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an idea for an update. It could be called: The Ice Age of Pygmies, or The Great Hunt. What happens is there can be a giant snowstorm and it can freeze the pygmies into ice cubes. There can also be a mammoth, with the pygmies all having spears and tring to kill it. They can throw the spears or get on its back and attack it. The mammoth could then buck them off and stomp the pygmies. The mammoth can be killed and fall in the water like the T-rex!! Please consider my idea!!
This is funny... It stormed VERY bad last night at around 5:00 AM so when I got on the AppStore to stay awake till the storm ended it was in the store. I was so happy and stayed up till about 6:00 (the storm ended at about 5:30).
ReplyDelete:-D
LOL, I love how people actually think the next update is called "Unveiled Sunday"... too funny! Nice job again, guys. Excellent update.
ReplyDeleteLove the update. I really suck though. My best is like 800. Great update though. One problem. When u lift the Pygmy and raise him up he goes really slow. It takes like thirty seconds for me to be able to drop him on the cloud. Great job though. P.S am I right about the next update being sharks and minnows as the mini game.
ReplyDeleteWow I just saw the next update name. What the heck does that mean. Unvieled Sunday. Does that mean it is a secret that we will find on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBolt please help me I emailed u and u didnt answer. My feint account is not working wut should I do and also wut does PUPPYLOVER say about this idea::::: Here is an idea for an alien update for the red star thing. The episode should be called "One small step for Oogs, and One giant leap for pygmies" First you press on Mars 3 times and then a saucer comes from mars and either aliens come out and fight the pygmies or they abduct the pygmies and either the new place is the space ship or mars. If it is mars then the aliens can get off with the pygmies and still fight them or it could be like the underwater area. The pygmies can float in air (gravity) and there could be a couple of dangers like an alien monster and a black whole where the pygmies get sucked in. I think this would be an awesome update
ReplyDeleteHey guys. Love the new update. Just a suggestion, I know this may leaf to "other things", but there should be girl pygmies ever since the name thing. But keep up the good work. =D
ReplyDeleteAwesome update. Just a suggestion, but ever since the name thing, I thought there should be girl pygmies. Not meant pervertedly. Keep up the good work though. =D
ReplyDeletegreat update. i love it :)
ReplyDeleteone thing i would suggest is that when the pygmy falls back down to earth that he squashes other pygmies that he lands on and that could also be another achievement :)
other than that 5 out of 5 yet again :D
Ooga Jump was an update previously approved by Apple / iTunes and is probably the most interesting so far. The reason for that is b/c now Bolt Creative has implemented a game esque feel to their already unique app. Doodle Jump is an app that i'm currently looking foward to getting b/c they've also entered Pocket God into their app as well. Great Stuff Guys!!!
ReplyDeletehow high do you have to go before you see the other character guy?
ReplyDeleteHey I love the new update. Its just like Doodle Jump but it has way cooler platforms.
ReplyDeleteI just wish that you hadn't let them use the coconut shooting idea otherwise i would've suggested it. I also agree that the fake clouds should look a little more obvious to tell apart from the others.
To Octavio and anyone else who is having trouble Logging in or Changing accounts, go to the OpenFeint website. I emailed Jason Citron (Co-Founder) and he helped me switch my accounts by using the beta-testers technique. Get your UDID by getting the Ad Hoc Helper on the App Sore to do it. It's free but it took a week for him to find the time to switch it for me.
Oh yeah and there is a new version of OpenFeint that will allow you to switch accounts that has already been released for a few other OpenFeint apps (Sentinel 2 is the only one I know of) and I was wondering, when Pocket God is going to update OpenFeint versions?
PS: What is the next update and when do we get Piranhas underwater?
And also, I'm still pouting because my Bird idea in "State of the Island: Quest For Fire!" was so "eerily similar" to the bird update, but whatever. :p
Oh crud I forgot! I had an idea for the shark being underwater since thats all people are asking for in the reviews on iTunes.
ReplyDeleteOk, this is a pretty simple update, so I encourage that you guys do it.
If you had the shark swimming back and forth at the very top of the screen underwater, you could tap and hold onto it, and it will stil be facing the same direction on the screen, but it will maybe be a little freaked out with its mouth open, and start wagging its tail really fast as if its trying to get out of your grasp. When you let it go, it's mouth is still wide open and it swims quickly off the screen, scared away like a normal fish.
But here's the catch, because the shark is still freaked out, its mouth is still wide open and any pygmies swimming in the way of the shark (level with it) will be swallowed as it swims off the screen.
I hope I was able to help and please answer my questions in the comment above, and respond to this idea if you have the time.
Fandres23. I'm not trying to be critical or anything like that, but why did you have your cousin post your idea instead of just taking a few minutes to type it up on a computer and post really fast? Were you on a cruise or something? I really want to know.
ReplyDeleteIm rather annoyed that my iPod broke a few days ago, it means i can't play this update :( But I'm booked into a genius bar on tuesday so hopefully will be able to play it then
ReplyDeleteOk, the update is great, but the Feint chat crashes EVERY time. Can you fix this? Thanks
ReplyDeletePuppylover#1,
ReplyDeleteI dont really care to answer but i didnt type it because i live in Colombia(not columbia) a less developed country and went on vacation to a city called Armenia were they barely have internet, i didnt have access to a computer and had to ask mmy cousin to post our idea just in case they posted the update before i could post our idea.
Ps:Thanks pocketgodlover123, its good to now my idea wasnt bad.
Wonderful update! My record is near 3000, but that darn tiny Doodle guy keeps killin' me :D
ReplyDeleteI recently posted that I wasn't quite as excited about these minigames as more "God like" updates, but this sure changed my mind!
I can't wait for the next underwater update! It'll be interesting to see what those toothy fish will add to your world!
PS. Puppy Lover #1, PLEASE, just lay off people. We don't expect our every idea to be used. Just let us speak our minds about what 'could' be cool, without having it completely shot down by someone who is NOT part of this games team. No offence, but do you even know how to program yourself? If so, deminstrate your ability, instead of sitting in the sidelines.
I'm sorry to rant at you, but it would be nice if you didn't keep talking like the actual game designers, even if you are one in real life. This is their game, and we are all their fans! :)
Puppy lover #1, I am so sorry! Please do not take me calling you a girl as an insult.
ReplyDeleteim really excited, because the past 3 updates haave been my favorite updates yet, and each one gets better!!! W ore out the battery on my ipod at least 3 times playing ooga jump yesterday. SOOOOOO FUNNNN
ReplyDeleteand i know its kinda early, but if you guys are still updating in the spring, you could have a spring themed update, where theres lots and LOTS of easter eggs!! and not actually easter eggs, i mean like fun secret thingamajiggers... well you know what i mean!! that would be really cool.
cant wait for the next update!
I think maybe u should make the shark snaps easier. I mean 500 is really hard and 1000 is like impossible. Also maybe u should add an achievment where u hav to summon a t-Rex and try to kill it before all ur pygmys die. U can't touch it either. The first could b one survivor, the second could b 4, then 5, then 6. Just an idea. But do we really find out the next update on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWow I just saw the new update name. Bait master. That's a cool name. What is the game about. It sounds good.
ReplyDeleteAs homage to Spongebob's 10th b-day, you should add a little pineapple under the water. It doesn't have to do anything (unless you want it too!!) It would just be cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat update!
ReplyDeleteJust one iccie biccie thing to think about:
Either make the difference between fake/actual clouds better, or on the fake clouds you get one jump on them. But as soon as they jump for a second time on it, whoosh!
Also it takes ages to lift the pygmy to the clouds, can you speed it up?
Thanks for another 10/10 update! Looking forward to the next one!
Pocket God, (the person that left the comment, not the creators or the app) I like your idea involving Mars. Everything that you have thought of to be on Mars sounds great. I personally however think that it would be a lot of fun to just have them abducted or vaporized then have the saucer fly away after you bring it in by tapping on Mars. If aliens are added in an update, it doesn't mean that you need to have a new place added to Pocket God. Good thinking on everything though. Please post your idea as a comment on my blog so that my blog's followers may see it and say whether or not they approve. (You will get feedback on your idea) Good luck thinking of new ideas. :)
ReplyDeletePS: seanusnare, if female pygmies were introduced to the game Pocket God, then they would bring an element of sexism to Pocket God. This would not be good for sales, publicity, or owners of Pocket God.
Luv the update and im sure that im gonna luv the next update with the pirannas. Its called Bait Master, and i have a suggestion, here is a suggestion that i think no one has suggested,
ReplyDeleteTitle: Alien vs Pygmy
What Happens: It does not happen the way u think, u go under water and there is a new "alien phone thingy" and u tap the "alien phone thingy" , and when u go up on land, whichever island u r on has different damage on it, the first island there is like ashes and the coconut tree fell over and the aliens are there and they are attacking the bird and killing the ants (if on) and the island is all torn apart and there is a Giant Alien Monster on the island and i kills the island, on the second island the t-rex momma and baby are like tied down on the island by the aliens and the aliens and T-Rex Momma can break free and fight and there is an alien in the outhouse but the outhouse can be crushed by the giant alien monster. Also the pygmys can get abducted and there is a new location in the UFO, and there is a space view and if u drag a pygmy to this space tube thing, and then it sucks the pygmy out into space and u see the pygmy in space and u see the pygmy suffocate or explode.
Although I wasn't too fond of the idea for this update, I find myself addicted! I like the way u added it sobit doesn't have an "outside the game" feel. Btw new update, bait master.... I haven't the slightest idea what that means. I assume underwater minigame but u were talking about creatures so idk. I thought " red planet" when I saw u were workin on creatures but now the underwater theme threw me off. So now will there be the giant squid many have been asking for?
ReplyDeleteAlso I like the idea of the aliens bring the pygmies into outerspace and having them float around with black holes and stars. Maybe a pinball-like game in outerspace with the pygmies bouncing around with blackholes, stars?
Could you make the clouds stay even if they go off the screen?
ReplyDeleteThat seems to add some unnecessary difficulty.
Thnx pupylover! Wuts ur blog?
ReplyDeleteI think you could do so much with this idea. iPhone SDK 3.0 allows in-app purchases, right? So what if pocket god essentially became the base system for a whole bunch of other mini games, each developer getting there share of the money. Then, you could develop an API for developers to use to get the oogs current mood, you acheivements, etc, to add interesting elements to the games. I think it would be cool, probably not an easy thing to do though...
ReplyDeleteTo TS, your idea is amazingly detailed!!! But it seems kind of, well gore-ish even for an awesome game like Pocket God. I mean, why would the aliens destroy anyone or thing other than the pygmies? They are after all the only ones that are really fun to obliterate. (same with the bird and T-Rex, but you know what I mean) I love where you are going with this, but some details just seem off. Like them going into the spaceship as a new area. I'm just curious, but why would the pygmies even survive going into the spaceship? I want to know what you think on this. :)
ReplyDeleteTo Pocket God, (the person, not the game or it's creators) My blog's address is www.puppyloverone.blogspot.com. :)
To The Sock, No I do not know how to program a game exactly. But I did take a computer class in school last year, so I know the basic stuff. I wouldn't know how to program but I know how it is done. I wouldn't really be able to explain it either, it is really complicated and I think I also forgot some of the details. I'm also not trying to force anyone to do anything. I'm just giving feedback on ideas. :)
the sock,
ReplyDeletestop being a jerk to puppy lover, your more of a jerk then he is and puppy lover is not shuting them down he is saying perfect the ideas so it can be a sweet update.
just stop being mean to puppylover he has done nothing,
Hey can bolt creative use my video for ooga jump it is at

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with seanusnare. I've been wanting a girl pygmy so badly. Pocket God is already legit, but if it had girl pygmies, it would be epic.
