theappleblog.com picked Taxiball for one of this week’s Apps of the Week! Fantastic!

In other news, we’ve been hard at work on something totally new. We’re still waiting for Apple to approve Taxiball’s 1.1 update, but in the meantime, we’ve been keeping busy. I can’t wait to show you the new game, but unfortunately, it’ll have to be just a little bit longer…

pocketgamer.co.uk has a new feature called the App Stork, where they point out some App Store gems that have fallen through the cracks. In their inaugural column, Taxiball leads the charge! Fantastic!

We all went out to grab a bite to eat, but needed to eat quickly (work beckons!), so we got it to go. When we got back to the office, Colin was reading offworld.com when he came across this. Well, a couple pages into the list, what should he see but Taxiball! Huzzah!

Lunch was just a little sweeter after that! Fantastic!

Wow! Taxiball’s the iPhone Game of the Day’s… uh… Game of the Day!

Check it out here!

Still moving our way up the charts! Thanks to everyone who’s picked up the game!

I know it’s been a while since we posted any lunch pictures. “But what are you eating?” you might ask. So here you go - us at Great America, a local theme park, celebrating the launch of Taxiball.

Lunch was… um… “deliciousesque.” No, that’s not right. It was… food-like. Sort of.

I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but News Shopper brings in another AWESOME REVIEW!

“So many games are released after huge hype and end up being major let-downs.

Taxiball is the exact opposite – a game which has had a low-profile release but which delivers on all its promises.”

And that’s not even the best part! Go check it out!

We’ve just submitted our first update to Taxiball to the App Store!
For our first update, we were really interested in what the players had to say about the game - and one of the big pieces of feedback we got was that while people loved the replayability of the levels, they wanted things that were shorter, and faster - stuff you could blaze through in two, rather than ten, minutes.

For 1.1, we thought we were going to add one level, but we got a little crazy there at the end and added two.

NAS Ball is an easy level - might be deceptively easy to people who’ve already played the game. Its goals are twofold - to give brand-new players an area where they can really get familiar with rolling the ball around, with not much else to concentrate on - and to give players who’ve mastered the core mechanics something different - a place to roll around that’s not about bumping into things, but going as fast as possible, and compete on the leaderboards for the highest score. Finishing is easy, but getting that number 1 spot? Good luck!

The second level… well, there’s gotta be *some* mystery to the experience, right?

For both levels, there are new leaderboards to keep track of your friends’ scores, and new Awards to add to your collection!

In keeping with peoples’ desire for a faster, leaner introduction to the game, we’ve also streamlined the tutorial, making it a less-intrusive experience. Some of the rhymes, they have been removed, but we think the experience, overall, has improved…

1.1 also fixes a problem for users who don’t have access to WiFi - you no longer have to have a connection to register your handle, and can play entirely without a WiFi connection - ever. It also now saves volume & SFX settings from game-to-game.

The feedback we’ve received from the community has been invaluable, and we hope that update 1.1 improves on the experience for everyone!

Yet another awesome review comes in! Check it out here!

Taxiball’s back on the charts, and moving up the Top 100 Paid Arcade Games! Go go go!!!

Thanks to everyone who’s helped move us up the list!
