    Hi everyone,

    I am happy to announce that my first game, Stop the Pop, is now released on the Apple App store and on Google Play.

    Here's the trailer


    Stop the Pop is a 2D platformer game where you play as a popcorn kernel. You have to help our hero on his adventure through hazardous environments and face strange foes. The aim of the game is to keep your temperature down and stop our hero from popping into popcorn.

    I have been working on this game on and off for the past three years. I'm extremely happy to have got to this stage where people can download and play it. I'd love to get your feedback and even a rating :)

    Hey! NICE! That looks AMAZING! I'm a new game developer also, i'm currently making a simple 3D platformer as well. How did you make the trailer? That was sweet.

    Thanks very much @brodan100105 ! I'm glad you liked the trailer!

    I used iMovie on Mac for the trailer.
    The trailer intro was done in Unity, I just created an animation and did a screen grab of it. I recorded the intro and different sections of the gameplay from the Unity editor using Quicktime.
    Once I had enough video clips, I imported all of the videos and sound effects into iMovie. Then it was just a matter of cutting them up and lining them up in iMovie. I then needed to get the sound effects to match up with the video. All the transitions and all of the on-screen text were done in iMovie too.

    I wish you the best of luck with your platformer too! :)

    I have uploaded a new version of Stop the Pop to the App Store and Google Play.

    This version has the following features:
    • New Random Reward System
    • New tutorial pop ups to help new players
    • New Animations
    • Bug fixes
    Here's a clip of the new reward system in action: gph.is/2s02qSG

    The new reward system presents a gift at the end of level at random times.

    When the player clicks it, it generates a character customization, such as, new shoes, new hat or new facial feature.

    Once you have these customizations, you can play through the game with them.

    I have pushed a new iOS version of Stop the Pop to the App Store.

    This new version has integration with Game Center through the Unity Social APIs.

    I have added new leaderboards for each level and 30 unlockable achievements.

    The Unity Social APIs were very easy to integrate into the game, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner :)
