[SNEAK PEEK] Harbor Master from Imangi Studios

It's out!

Hurray! Harbor Master is finally out!

Harbor Master - App Store Link

Just $0.99.

Get it, love it, post back impressions. Can't wait to hear what you think!

@ctt1wbw That is so cool that our game actually reminds you of your work at a port. I love it. Would love to hear what you think of the gameplay!
 
Fuuuun!

The game is beautiful, nattylux.

It is a good change up from Flight Control. Also adding the departing port was a nice change. It's like if Flight Control added take off to the game.

For those of you that think this is just another Flight Control you are right in some ways but think of Flight Control as Street Fighter I. Street Fighter I got fighting games on the map just like Flight Control. Now think of Harbor Master as Street Fighter II, where things are cleaned up and with added features. Street Fighter II added more characters to play and Harbor Master added whirl pools and departure.

mad props Imangi!!!!!
 
1,000,000 cargo units shipped

We passed 1 million cargo units shipped yesterday, 3 days after launch. Nice work, guys :)

What's everyone's favorite port?
 
New Port - Cannon Beach - Pirates Attack!

Hey guys,

Just want to let you know that we just submitted an update with a new port! In Cannon Beach, you need to defend your ships from the pirates!

Here's how it's going to work:

1. The pirates attack a ship
2. Steal the ship's cargo (if the ship is empty, they look around for 2 seconds to see that there's no cargo)
3. And then SINK the ship, which ends the game.

So you need to sink the pirates BEFORE they sink one of your ships. You do this by firing your cannon at them. It takes two shots to sink the pirate ship.

Here's a screenshot:

Hopefully it will get approved soon, and then you'll have a whole new port to play with :)
 
Thanks Natalie

I'm looking forward to the new port. This is a fun little game.

Presently, are there just 3 ports?
 
Yes, there are 3 ports now. The fourth (Cannon Beach) has been submitted and should be out in about a week (pending approval).

We also are going to do semi-weekly updates for a while, adding a new port or cool feature with each update. So you're going to get a lot of ports for your 99c :)
 
Update 2: Smugglers' Reef - Submitted!

We just about to submit Update 2 of Harbor Master - Smugglers' Reef!

One very simple tweak that makes a huge difference in the gameplay: ships can carry multiple colors of cargo.

When a ship comes in with different cargo colors, you must unload one color at one dock, and then move the ship to the other dock to unload the remaining cargo. It's hectic and crazy and you have to be even better at prioritizing. If you love time management games, you'll really love this level!

We also added Twitter integration! If you play a particularly amazing game and want to tell the world about your score, you can choose to tweet it right after the game. Thanks to the very awesome Ian Marsh for helping us with the code, since he did Twitter integration so well in Scoops and Moon Drop.

We've also started working on Update 3 - the Very Special Episode. Will be submitting it within 2 weeks!

Hopefully Smugglers' Reef will be out in the store within a week, pending Apple's approval time.

And a huge thanks to all you guys for helping make Harbor Master such a huge success! We're going to keep working hard to bring you more awesome updates!

:D

Wow

Now this is a great game, we know that, but the developer! Wow!

I bought the game just because of this developer. Comes to our forums, great personality, answers our questions, tons of free updates. Keep it up, I'm really impressed with not only the app, but the people behind it.
