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.
Hey, is this a new track, what is that green bubble or what?
And much more... 

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!
Europe is 10 times bigger than the US?!

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?

Sliding into the unkonwn is always exciting. Please slide with us, with our latest iTunnel 3D iPhone app!
Cloubble Advanture Team is going to release its latest iPhone App called iTunnel 3D Lite version soon. The game is typically an addictive type of game. The ideology behind it is to create a dynamic, trendy action game which has no violence therefore it means no harm to kids but still remains exciting. Its speed, its sound effects, its music, its graphics (colors, visual effects) are novel . These effects are to represent the world of sliding into the unknown. We would like to have more and more followers who are waiting for this game in order to make it a social type of game, which builds its own community bigger and bigger. The game already has its own community, who are waiting for it, not only beacuse they liked our previous games, but also beacuse they like what they have seen on youtube. If you have any idea on how to make it more exciting please feel free to share it with us! Where would you like to slide further in the iTunnel? Into a dripstone cave, into an ice cave, into the inside of a clock? If you would like to share your idea with you, with which you could influence the development, please feel free to contact us!

Now iTunnel 3D has more than 100 type of gates called gate fabrics.
