Hi Brock,

I've been playing this a lot tonight!
Slowly moving up those leaderboards, though I doubt I'll ever catch up to 'patmisch'...he's really good at this!

'patmisch'...he's really good at this!

Pat is really good, but don't feel too bad, he is the one who programmed it. LOL

What happens if you shoot that poor clown? Game over?

What happens if you shoot that poor clown? Game over?

The clown has a health bar. You can hit him multiple times before the game is over. And don't let the clown fool you, his heart is black. If we wasn't strapped down I don't even want to think about what would happen.

Lol, I bought the game and I love it. One suggestion: put tilt calibration option in the game, although tilt is working pretty good as it is, it would be a nice to have it there.
And I still feel bad when I accidentally hit the clown, he looks so happy and I make him feel pain :'(

You're not the first person to mention calibration. How would you like the manual calibration to work? Right now it recalibrates automatically on pause. Are you thinking you could adjust the sensitivity?

Haha very nicely done...fun game!

Yeah, I would like to adjust the sensitivity. BTW: the game is free now, is it for a limited time only or is it permanent?

It is free this weekend through Monday when it will be OpenFeints Free Game of the Day.

Ok great, I love it although I'm not very good at it :D

Thanks again to everyone who has checked out our game and provided feedback in the forum. We noticed that some people were having problems with the controls so we pushed out an update, which is now live in the store. The update lets you recalibrate during the tutorial in case you changed positions and also better explains that it auto recalibrates if you pause the game.

If anyone is unsure about the game, I have some promo codes. Send me a message and you can try the game for free. [email protected]

Looks fun. I suggest you allow users to upload the pic of their choice to throw knives at. ;)

Does it speed up on higher difficulties? it looks like fun, but a bit too slow for my liking.

It starts out slow, but gets difficult pretty quickly. The wheel speeds up each round and it starts changing directions.

Knife Toss made it onto the New and Noteworthy list this week!! Thanks for the support. The game has also been getting some more reviews.

Also, some people were curious about how the OpenFeint Free Game of the Day giveaway went and how it has affected our sales, so i wrote a blog post.

I've just started playing this, and I'm not going to say too much since it's on my list of games to review, but I'm enjoying it so far. I would offer a couple of suggestions:

1. Some fun circus music in the background
2. The clown should be more reactive (at least vocally) when hit

Otherwise, good job. I'm finding lately that I tend to gravitate more towards the casual games on my iPhone, so it's always nice when a good one comes along.

[brock]

Thanks Rusty for your feedback. We're continuing to push out updates to improve the game and we will definitely add some music in to the background, we're just trying to find the right track that doesn't get annoying.

Let me know when your review is posted.
