Hi adam, thank U to exist! Attack paddle really changed my life...there's only a little problem...

I'don't want to spend so much money everytime to connect to the internet with my nokia 6630, cause here in Italy it's so expensive!!!

Can I buy a special version where i can play w/out download anything and in OFFLINE session?

Please answer me at my e-mail: [e-mail]

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I havn't even tried to sell an ad-free version of this game. I lost money trying to sell Attack Chopper because I had to mail the contract back and forth over seas. Anybody think it would be worth trying to sell Attack Paddle?

[dust]

Well, i have kids (cousins really, but they are very young) who sometimes hit the internet browser on my mobile by accident; so i normally disable my GPRS, and found it a chore to download the advertisements..

Hence, i paid for Attack Paddle (and Attack Chopper too) ^-^

I found Attack Paddle to be quite enjoyable, so its money well spent ^^b

Thanks a bunch (again)!

You are still my only direct-sale customer, and my first repeat customer!

I hope the AC2 test I sent worked properly. It should have BETTER compatibility than AC1, since it uses less memory, and draws more effeciently.

[dust]

aye, the AC2 test worked like a charm ^^ (wow the map is huge!)

i didn't like arkanoid / breakout games in the past, but playing AP has gotten me hooked lol

If you are strange enough to read through my old ramblings during Attack Paddle development, you may notice a long stretch where I tried to come up with a different way of doing the powerups in Attack Paddle. None of the other ways worked out, and I had to go with the "Falling Powerups" method to keep things in the game interesting. I fought long and hard to come up with something better, and felt bad giving in to the usualy way of doing this with the powerups, but think I managed to make it interesting still.

[dust]

aye, the "falling-down" power-up is pretty standard fare for this type of game

hey adam, I was wondering how much it would cost to purchase the game direct from you (paypal=fast, money order=less fees but slower), as I expected that the sites that host your games probably get a cut of the revenue or something like that.

[breex243]

i don't know if this will automatically merge this doublepost, but i was wondering if there was a way to play this game on the computer-it seems pretty fun, but it'd be nice to use a bigger keyboard.

I have java (obviously), but i was wondering what type of program i could use to emulate my cell phone. btw, it's run amazing on my samsung t-519. i've only used 2 plays, and it seems pretty addicting.

[Adam Schmelzle]

Sure thing! I have a paypal link on my awful website:

attackgames.game-host.org

It's set to $5.00 us right now. And you are 100% correct in that I only get just under half of what you see as a price on other sites. As a bonus, if people buy directly from me, I usually send them a whole pile of different versions of my game, not just the newest one that should be compatible with your phone.

Also, if you want to simply play the game for free with advertising, than grab the game from gamejump.com, and play as many times as you want. The trials from mobilerated are limited to 5 plays, but the ad-version is unlimited.

To play the game on your computer, it takes a few steps. What you need to do is download a "j2me" development kit. I recomend the "Sony Ericsson SDK 2.2.4 for the Java(TM) ME Platform" since it's the fastest PC emulator by far out of the ones I've tried:

tinyurl.com/2x7xx7
...grab the one labeled Sony Ericsson SDK 2.2.4 for the Java(TM) ME Platform

Just install that, and you should be able to double-click most .jad files and it'll run the game! If that doesn't work, you can go to Start->programs->Sony Ericsson->Java ME SDK for CLDC->WTK2->Run MIDP Application and choose the .jad file.

Let me know if that works out for ya!

thanks for the! it's 2am right now, so i'll get some rest. I've been playing this single "play" for like half an hour now to try and make me fall asleep.

[Adam Schmelzle]

No problem
