Hello!

Sorry, it’s been a while since an update, but that’s mainly because I’ve been working on a new version of Toobz.  It was just posted on the App store late last week and I’m proud to say that Toobz now has a custom background score and sound effects!

I had a good time adding these sounds and I really like how the background score came out.  I worked with David from Atomicon which was a pleasure.  I really like how things turned out and it’s a great feeling hearing Toobz now.

Unfortunately, in my haste in getting the update out to everyone, I did mess up the upgrade process a bit.  When you first run the new version of Toobz it will ask you if you want to enable sounds.  Hitting “Yes” doesn’t actually work… I’m really bummed about that,  but at least there’s a workaround that I’ve confirmed with folks: if you go into the settings and turn on and off the switches for Sound and Music a couple times, it will reset the settings correctly.

I’ve got an update that will fix things and hopefully we’ll see that soon.  Once you get sounds enabled, though, with the trick above, everything will be fine.

In addition to the sounds I added a couple more backgrounds, and a few bug fixes.

Enjoy, and thank you for playing Toobz!

Hello!

A quick note to the Toobz-Free players — I’ve just submitted version 1.3 which adds the same features as Toobz 1.3: Twitter support and classic graphics.  The same limit of five levels of play remains in place.  The last Toobz update took close to three weeks to get through the approval process, but I’ve heard that they’ve sped things up with recent updates so you never know.  I’m hoping we’re back to the seven day review period from before.

A quick note that version 1.3 of Toobz has been approved!  It was added to the App Store late last night.

As I mentioned before, this version’s main feature is that you can setup your Twitter account in Toobz and then have the option to tweet your scores.  After less than 24 hours out in the wild some folks are already tweeting!  I’m going to try and setup some monitoring, including listing the latest score tweets on this web site.  Stay tuned — soon you’ll be able to see how your scores stack up to the rest of the community!

Now that Toobz has tweeting I’ll work on adding that option into Toobz-Free, perhaps with some restrictions.

Enjoy!
