Hand of God

[kjib]

PloyToy will release their new iPhone/iTouch/iPad game, "Hand of God" tomorrow, Thursday 18th February.

A fantastic blend of dexterity, strategy, quick thinking, football, self control and temptation!

It is nearly time for another world cup and there's so many games that all simulate a normal football game so time for something new. In Hand of God you are the ball! The players will try to play properly but you should be able to dictate the final result. Come see if you have got what it takes.

There's a YouTube vid but excuse the lack of sound (I've attempted to annotate it for you). Must get a new video gadget! You can take a look here.

Video review out + only $0.99 / £0.59 for now.

There is a mini HD video review on the Ploytoy web site here.

SALE now on! You can currently grab the "Hand of God" for just $0.99 / £0.59.

You will probably need to use iTunes on your PC / Mac to grab "Hand of God" because the download is above the "over the air" limit for the iPhone. (Hey, I had to fit all that cool music & stuff in one way or another)!

Enjoy.

5 star rating...

We got our 1st rating in iTunes - 5 stars , YAY!

I am thinking about what to put in the 1st update and I'd welcome any suggestions you have. What would you like to see?

Update on iTunes now, next update coming...

The first update is on iTunes now which crushes the download size without loss of anything you had before. Now "Hand of God" can be grabbed over your mobile phone connection.

There are currently 3 likely candidates for the next update(s):
1) A system to ease new players in to the game perhaps with in game tips etc.
2) A tweak to the user interface to make it more obvious what buttons do.
3) A new game mode - this will be even more fun so follow me on twitter or ask for email updates on the PloyToy site via the enquiry page.

Feedback from players has been good with 5 stars.

If you want to see anything else in the update just ask and I will see what I can do.

Really cool, though I thought it was a Maradona reference...

Same here

The Maradona incident was certainly part of the inspiration for the game name and you can view it as either a celebration of getting away things in football by cheating or as revenge for the moment where every fan feels they were robbed of victory, depending on your mood!

Really cool...

Thank you, let me know if there's any things you want to see in an update. After doing a few technical improvements I want to get some more game modes and even more cool & fun stuff in Hand of God.

New pitch in Hand of God...

V1.02 update now out.

The next update for Hand of God should see a new pitch plus a range of more subtle changes to some of the graphics. I have some more tweaks I want to try before I submit the update so you still have chance to let me know if there's any new must have features.

V1.03 is out now - cool new graphics.

As promised - V1.03 contains some great new graphics; new pitch, buttons, font plus tweaks to players and other areas. Enjoy
