Gumi Bounce

Hi everyone, thanks for reading this, my first entry on Figure.fm. I'm Chris, an internet type bod in the U.S. who enjoys anime and gaming. Today I want to announce Gumi Bounce, a new game for iPhone dropping in November. I wanted to announce it first on Figure.fm because I've been a reader of Danny Choo's blog for a long time, he has been a great inspiration to me and I appreciate the Web 2.0 scene and the community here.

From the app store description:
Holy Cats! A shady villain called King Nibblekins has stolen all of the world's magic gems. Gumi accidentally ate a magic gem which allows him to fly in any direction and now it's up to him to get all of the magic gems back... or just look for something to eat.

You control Gumi, a bouncy character with a gummi bear-like appearance. The goal is to unlock doors that lead to a portal to the next level, by finding a variety of switches and avoiding various obstacles and dark portals which make you start over if Gumi falls into one.

Gumi Bounce is based on pachinko with the added fun of motion control. When you turn the device, the world will turn around and Gumi will fall down in the direction you want, to navigate through the level, unlock doors to move to the next level, collect gems, and avoid dark portals.

I'm a fan of pachinko and arcade-style games and wanted Gumi Bounce to have an arcade-like style of gameplay. Do you game and what kinds of games do you like?

Woops... how did that picture get in there? Pay no attention to this, it was I who created the game, not this dog... (I hope they don't figure me out) ^_^;

For the launch I'm holding a giveaway with an iPod Touch and AppleTV.
