There was an emergency maintenance on domain cloubble.com. It lasts nearly 48hours on the last weekend (2010.01.09-11).
In this period you could not download tracks and submit scores to our servers.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I hope that this was the last problem with that server in this year.
Thanks for your patience!

But here is some good news: We sent an update to Apple. They are approving it just now.
In this version you can rate and comment the tracks.

Have a good game!

We are on the way to finish. Here are some pictures about the improvements.
Crosshair for those who need some help to slide thru.
Leaderboard update just to compare yourself with others on the top.

Germany has been occupied! We are going to the top in Germany. We do not know what was happened there, but after a week they noticed that "what is this game in the App Store" and they realized that it is good. They are sending us reviews and they are very kind. So now it is going on own way. Thanks Germany! We are working hard to finish the full version.

One week has gone. The first statistics are ready. Check this out!

These are the distinct points where our users was playing with iTunnel 3D Lite. You can see on the map that in Europe we have ten times more points than in the US.
We have to ask the US citizens if they let Europe wins.

But seriously, we have to make more publicity in the United States to bring out this fascinating iPhone game to the users.

OpenGL light model has been added to the iTunnel 3D engine. For example, now it's possible to create a dark stage with shiny gates.

  
  

As many of you have probably already noticed there has been a release of a game which is very much alike our iTunnel 3D. It has almost the same name, except an ’i’ in the beginning. The question of becoming a CopyCat is very interesting from a lot of point of views. Let us share our impression with you. We, the Cloubble Adventure Team first of all would like to impress that, we take it as a compliment, because nobody has ever copied something that he thought was bad.

This whole issue raises lots of questions, which may also be in focus for others (other Game/Application Creators) as well:
1.) whether is there a „CopyCat Industry” existing or not?
2.) is our little CopyCat, an owner of one of these „factories” in the far ex CCCP-Empire (looking at his name it was our first guess) or just a lonesome „enterpreneur”?
3.) how can we, the Cloubble Adventure Team make the most of this „competition”?
4.) this might be a possible „threat” to others as well (if we take the base of marketing - SWOT) in the future, so
a) it means it is really important to think about the „WHEN” issue (when to publish anything about your latest application)
b) what would have happened if the CopyCat would have had come up with a more interesting copy as iTunnel 3D is, or would have had nicer graphics, or it would have released a more complex game etc.
5.) it is interesting to give a thought of the fact that he gave almost the same name of his App, as ours. What pushes a person/team/company into a decision like this? His lack of ideas, lack of marketing, lack of PR, or the fact that we have started to build up followers/evangelists? What was his motivating factor? I would appreciate, if you who are reading our blog, would leave a comment on your impression about this factor.
6.) what will be the reaction of our followers?
