As we are getting closer and closer to the release of the huge update we are bringing more information about the new levels and globs.

As you can see on the screenshot this level is quite empty at first sight. Wait a moment tho, because it won’t be so easy at it looks like! Because the Pearl globs if not friendly this time. In fact he is very mean and will take your points away if you touch him with any other globs! What a grumpy mean glob. Fortunately you can get rid of him. Just send him to the yellow coral in the bottom right corner and you will never see him again. Watch out tho! His friends will be coming to the screen time to time and you will need to send them to the yellow coral as well.

To make this level a bit easier we added also friendly glob here. It’s a crab glob and you can see him on the screenshot below. He will pop out off the rocks time to time and if you’re fast enough to tap him you will be rewarded by +5 points!

This may be the reason why the crab glob is our most popular glob in-between our fans, and on of the biggest fans, Zaz, decided to make a comics about him.

New level selection screen and level dashboard

October 5th, 2009

It has been long time since our last post, but there is a good reason behind that. We have been very busy building the new update for the game and I’m happy to tell you that it’s just days from finishing! :)

So what’s coming in the next update? As you already know there will be some new levels and globs. That’s just the beginning :)

We have implemented the latest OpenFeint 2.2 into our game with a custom Aqua Globs skin and loads of achievements for you to unlock! For those who don’t know what OpenFeint is head over to this site http://www.openfeint.com/players. In general it’s something like Xbox Live, a system which connects you with other people playing Aqua Globs and allows you to see your standings in the High-score tables, how good you’re in unlocking achievements, chat about the game with other players and even become friends with them. It has Facebook and Twitter connectivity as well so you can let your friends know how good you’re! ;)

The other thing we changed is the pause screen. When you paused he the screen was covered with a splash image showing you time and maximum points achieved so far with the option to continue or exit to menu. The huge disadvantage of this screen was that you were not able to see what is happening under and after pausing the game for few hours you would be basically blinded by the screen completely!

We solved this problem by introducing nice small dashboard which will slide into the screen from the bottom when you pause the game, so you can still see what is going on! ;) There are other options on the dashboard as well. On the image you can se (from left to right) exit game button, help button, wave effect enable/disable button, OpenFeint button and finally game continue button.

The last change I want to talk about today is a new level selection screen. You saw the older version in the previous post. We decided to make it in a Apple cover flow style, so you will know how to use it intuitively. Just swipe on the screen to scroll through the level list and tap on a level if you want to play it! Easy, right?
