Dork - The World's Most Stupidest App

Meet Dork, the Star of our Latest Talking App, Some say he’s an idiot, some say he’s too stupid to be in a Talking App… We agree, but he’s there anyway. Perhaps we’re dumbing down?

Where do Outfit7 get thier ideas?

Well, well, well, Outfit7 have a new app out, and Very good it is, probably thier best one yet.

I wonder where they got thier inspiration for thier Talking Dog in a Lab mixing Potions idea?

Are they calling us out?
Do they want Trouble?
We,eeell we’ll have to see about that, this could mean War… App War

Have they... ?

Here at Mobobo we’ve been locked in the Lab, torturing an innocent little man, by making him drink strange concoctions and monitoring the Results.
Here are some screenshots of what we’ve observed:

Mani Golf update Announcement

pegbert — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 14:52:47 +0000

Its been an amazing release for Mani Golf, we always knew the gameplay was up the best of what’s out on iPhone, as a Developer you still always wonder how it will be receieved, you put it out there, and always hope for something, but expect obscurity. Getting featured by Apple as ‘New and Noteworthy’ in pretty much every Country’s App store, has given us Massive exposure, and Sogoplay has done amazing to achieve this, so thank you to them.

The Game’s been reasonably well recieved, the biggest Critism that the game’s too short, and we agree with that, and are currently discussing getting a new course in there Asap, and also getting some new Physics Mechanics in too, also we’re discussing a 2 player mode, along with various other features and surprises we have planned, it’ll be a packed update.

Apart from that, there wasn’t really any other serious critism…. apart from the witterings of a Certain Person!
So, we’re also giving the option to ‘Gag’ Gaylord.
Never let it be said mobobo are a developer that doesn’t listen!

I don't think Apple will approve the second one!

Storming up the Charts, like a Ferret up a Trouser Leg.

Well, interesting Times, on the Evening of our first day on Release, Apple gave us a ‘Hot New Games’ Feature on App Store, this helped us up into the Top 25 of Puzzle section in UK last night.

This in turn lead to being Featured on ‘New and Noteworthy’ on US store, which has led to us being, at the time of writing at number 70 all paid games.

We’re now at number 85 all paid games in UK!

Nice guy Guy

Its a small world, it really is.
On a Forum, I bumped into the guy ‘Guy’ who gave us our terrible review, turned out to be a really sound bloke, who after I explained the situation, has amended his review:

Excellent customer service, and a fun game to boot ! – ★★★★★

by Guy and Jackie – Version 1.0 – 14 October 2010

Edit to Review: After the developer heard about my complaint, he contacted me within a day, and explained that there had been a mix-up in the test process, and that the version submitted to Apple was never intended to be compatible with the iPad. A fix has already been submitted to Apple that will address this problem. I was thoroughly impressed by the promptness of this response, and to the level of care that the developer invests in satisfying his customers. Too often these days, when an app has an issue, the developer is nowhere to be seen, and the app is abandoned, leaving customers frustrated with the whole experience. I applaud SoGoPlay for their commitment to customer service, and I await the chance to play this game on the iPad. Meanwhile, I was able to play the game on an iPod Touch, and it played flawlessly. The whole style of the game is quirky and fun. It’s by no means a serious golf game; rather, it captures the inherent silliness of Mini Golf perfectly. Mulligan is a great character, reminiscent of the classic Hannah-Barbera characters of the late sixties and early seventies. The animation is smooth, and the gameplay is lots of fun. My only complaint is that the iPod screen is a tad small for my older eyes, which is why I”m chomping at the bit to try this on the iPad. In all, this is a great game, and I look forward to more from SoGoPlay. I’d love to review this game, since it looks really cool, and has great-looking screen shots, but I can’t. It will not load on the iPad at all. The first splash screen shows up for a second, and then, crash… Tried a restart, and then a reboot. Nothing. Stay away from this one if you have an iPad, because it’s a total waste of a dollar. I hope the developer sees this and gets working on a fix quickly. And if the description given by the iTunes store is wrong, then shame on Apple for not getting facts right. Maybe this works on the iPhone, but for now, it’s a major disappointment on the iPad. A definite shot right in the water hazard.

Mani Golf is Launched for iPhone and iPod touch on App Store

Oh… Bugger….

Well it was never supposed to work on iPad as we’re doing a big, shiny new version for iPad.
It says on App Store it works for iPad, but it doesn’t leading to some not good reviews…
Oh well, we’ll update this version to work on iPad, and also release the new version.

Update soon.

The Eve of the App Launch and a possible Balls up!

Well after months of hard work, we’re here, the Eve of Launching Mani Golf upon App Store and the World!

Will this come back to Bite us I wonder ?

I say!

Apple App roved!
