Hey everyone... So I made an iPhone game. It's called Ski Time! It's really simple, but it's very challenging. Everyone's favorite newschoolers.com founder Matt Harvey holds the ridiculous high score of 91. Good luck beating that. It's free to download.

JibtechAlso interesting to note, in Estonia, Ski Time has gone to number 9 in sports arcade games, and Number 68 over all in arcade games. So thanks, Estonia. You rule.


You're welcome! :)

Because designing apps for IOS is easy. The formatting never changes for ISO, from Ipad,IPhone and whatever shit apple also has. But with Android there's hundreds of different sizes you need to format so your app fits well with all different sizes.

Its a bitch but hope that answers your question.

I hold the phone with two hands and i tap with both thumbs. Also, just did 216. I wonder if im somehow cheating and not knowing it. Or maybe i just spend too much goddamn time with this game haha.

JibtechI really have no idea what I'm doing... It took me a few weeks to figure out Apple and their store, and I'm pretty familiar with apple and their products. I know nothing about android or google play... so I imagine it will take me a few more weeks to get it sorted out, on top of adding in a few more features to the current version... then it takes a week to go through the approvals... Maybe a month?


with android you basically just upload the package and its on the app store. No approval needed.
