“There are a ton of marble games out there that let you roll around by tilting your iPhone. Forget about them. Taxiball’s the best.”
- Tyler Nagata, GamesRadar

Now we’ve gotta make sure that not only are we one of the best free apps, but one of the best paid ones, as well!

We keep adding stuff to the paid version. So far, we’ve added two levels in 1.1, another level’s on its way (as soon as Apple approves it) in 1.2, and more features are in the pipe!

The end goal is to make Taxiball such an absurd value that you can’t possibly deny it! Woohoo!

Alright… so some people on Touch Arcade took the Haiku ball, and ran with it - making Taxiball-related limericks. And it seemed sad that they might not be part of the contest, after all, the rules are totally arbitrary ANYWAY! So now, if you want to do a Taxiball limerick, you’re welcome to do that, too! Just post the result in the comments here, and you’ll be entered to win a free code for the game! And we’ll find somewhere in the App Store Text for both the best haiku and the best limerick!

Woo!

…I don’t believe they exist! No, wait - this isn’t The Princess Bride.

It’s a website that has a Podcast that mentions Taxiball! Somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3rds of the way through! Check it out!

Hey! Just as Taxiball slides off the “New & Noteworthy” Games Section heading, it pops up again under “What We’re Playing”!

Awesome!!

Want to win a free copy of Taxiball? Write us a haiku!

What’s a haiku? The simple version is, it’s a three-line poem, where the first line is 5 syllables, the second is 7, and the third is 5 again.

So here’s the contest: Write us something for the App Store description of Taxiball - a charming way to hook someone who might be interested in grabbing the game!

“But, how am I supposed to know what’s cool about Taxiball? Clearly, I’m trying to win a code for a free copy, here!”

Sure - that’s why we’ve got a Free version of the game!

Give it a whirl, and write us a haiku about what you think of the game. The winner receives a promo code AND will have their haiku included (with proper credit, of course!) in our App Store text for the game!

Leave your Haiku in the comments of this post, and at the end of the week, we’ll pick a winner!

Why, it’s an award from Self Aware’s upcoming game. It’s called “Baker’s Dozen.”

Ah, it seems like only last week that Taxiball 1.1 came out. Probably because it *was* last week. Well, not a team to rest on our laurels, Taxiball 1.2’s off to Apple today!

It adds a new level, which Bay Area residents might recognize, while fixing up the framerate issue that we discovered yesterday.

Hopefully it gets through quickly!

Cheers!

(…and happy birthday to Dan!)
