Crazy Mike is crazy

Hey, kids! It's a bit of a slow news month. Our heads are down, and we've been working 24/7 (and sometimes 25/8) on the next updates for Pocket God and Pocket God Uranus on the iOS. Meanwhile, ngmoco has been working on updating the Android app. They are lumping several updates together (these updates are already on the iOS) so it's going to be a big one! We'll let you know when it's out.

In the meantime, we thought we'd post this review from Crazy Mike's Apps. He has this to say about the Android version of PG:

This Android app allows the user the opportunity to torture, torment, and yes at times be nice to their very own race of pygmy peoples in various environments (island, underwater Atlantis, and north or south pole you figure out). Pocket God is the ingenius idea of the “crazy” guys over at Bolt Creative and this classic iOS game is just as fun on the Android platform.

Thanks, Mike!

  5. I have a Pocket God Journey to Uranus idea!

    Episode 7: Giving the Moon

    The update adds the moon with gray landscape and white oceans. It orbits the earth in space. Tap the bunny idol to bring out the space bunny. It will peek out of the right crater, squash a pygmy, then goes back in the hole. When a pygmy is dropped in the left crater, it starts a new mini game. "Whack-a-pygmy"! It's a Whack-a-mole game. You have the usual amount of lives. If you hit a zombie pygmy, you lose a life. Layout Plan: imagine a 5x3 grid on the moon labeled A-E & 1-3. Normal holes are on B1, D1, A2, C2, E2, B3, and D3.Whacking comets affect the gameplay of "Whack-a-pygmy".
    Red comet-Gives 1,000 points. Appears every 10-50 seconds.
    Orange Comet-Doubles speed for 10 seconds. Appears every 50-60 seconds.
    Yellow comet-Depletes a life. Appears every 20-50 seconds.
    Green comet-Adds a life. Appears every 5,000 points.
    Light Blue comet-Cuts speed in half for 10 seconds. Appears every 2,000 points.
    Dark Blue comet-Permanently adds a hole. Can appear on C1, B2, D2, and C3 (Remember the grid?). Appears every 60-90 seconds.
    Purple comet-Adds a temporary hole. Can appear on A1, E1, A3, and E3.
    Comet with Black or Gray center-Can appear on any comet but the green comet. If you tap it, game over. Appears randomly.
    White comet-Prevents zombies pygmies from appearing for 20 seconds. Appears every 30-60 seconds.
    UFO-Zaps all pygmies on screen earning you double points for each pygmy. Appears every 3-5 minutes.
    Pink comet-Almost got cancelled. Doubles points for 10 seconds. Appears every 10-30 seconds.
    Gray comet-Doubles speed of mini game permanently. Appears every 20-40 seconds.

    That's all! Add more if you want to.

  6. P.S. You already said in the app description that there would be more zombie action so I suggest going with that path.

  7. Though I love the idea of the moon being added as a place, I think instead doing that, stick with adding more planets before you add their moons. I would also think that if you were to add "more zombie action," you guys would go with a mini-game of some sort.

    Other then that, I can't wait for the new comic! the crossover was all well and good, but there wasn't any sun, our brand new member! I can't wait to learn her back story, which I hope is told over time on there travel to her island in the new story arc, with the arc ending with them getting to the island, and then making the next arc be about them fighting newbie. Also, I can't wait for the new special edition (you make one between every arc), hopefully it's a Halloween themed one! I can't wait to see how Sun will be part of the app, as you have said that things in the comic go into the app.

  8. Also, I hope that they make the next update have Mars (with charlie), because they did say it would "cut your problems in half"!

  11. Cool review! It's pretty awesome! I'm SO glad that everybody who does reviews on Pocket God say that it's a great app! Then again, they'd be pretty messed up if they didn't...

  12. I SAID if you hit a zombie pygmy you would lose a life! (I forgot to say there would be an animation!) Normal Pygmy : Sqashed pygmy, for a zombie, pieces of "popped" zombie, and comet, shards fly everywhere.

  13. How does cut your problems in half hint that Charlie would be added? Just cause of " half" ?

  14. Pygmy customization shud come to journey to uranus. It has improved graphics so why not? They shud look like the comic versions. Does anyone agree?

  15. @Steff I'm just giving ideas.

  20. Seriously? You are asking how is the update coming along? It's only been a month! We can wait, it's not like we are gonna die. Why aren't you still playing that update that you reaaaalllly wanted? got bored of it?

    This is gonna keep happening until you finish updating.
