StickWars Ultimate Challenge hits the AppStore

October 15, 2009 Eric 15 comments

I’m pleased to announce that StickWars Ultimate Challenge is live on the AppStore. It is a collection of mini-games based on the addictive StickWars gameplay, and allows you to directly challenge your OpenFeint friends to compete for the top scores.

You can read more about it here, or just click here to visit the iTunes page.

I have been working on this update for months, and while it was originally slated to be an in-app purchase included with StickWars, technical limitations imposed by Apple dictated that I release it as a completely separate app. You can try out two of these minigames for free in StickWars or StickWars Lite version 1.7. Have fun, and as always I welcome all feedback, so visit my forums and let me know what you think.

News, StickWars none

Work with Apple to make this an inapp purchase instead of giving me two separate home screen icons and I will buy it

  I actually tried to do it like that first, but Apple will not approve it unless I cut out all users who are still running OS 2.x.

Would it be possible to include it in the game but lock functionality until you check with the Apple servers to see if you’ve bought Ultimate Challenge. Then you would be able to delete the Ultimate Challenge Icon?

I’m just getting this idea from Tapulous because they have the ability to import other games like Tap Tap Coldplay into Tap Tap Revenge 3

  I can work on this in the future, but this requires building and maintaining a server to keep transmit this information to and from your iPhone, so it is difficult for a single person to set up.

The documentation now says that in app purchasing is allowed in 2.x apps. Have you investigated this or gotten it to work?

  I’m pretty sure that’s not true…just yesterday an Apple rep called me saying that the update to StickWars was held up because it was still flagged as having in-app purchases but compiled for 2.x, which won’t work with their system.
  
  Do you have a link to this info? Thanks.

    (I assume you can get to the developer forums)
    
    App Store now allows submitting an app having IAP and complied with target as OS 2.x
    
    This is mentioned in iTunesConnect Developer guide page 65
    
    Please email me at doug@funkyvisions.com if you find out anything, as I am spending the weekend getting my inapp stuff working, but will just go with a Lite and Pay version if not.

      Thanks for that. I don’t know, I literally got a call last night from and Apple rep who told me that they couldn’t approve StickWars cause it was still flagged in iTunes Connect for IAP and compiled for OS 2.x. I really wouldn’t trust them to make it a smooth process if you were going to try it.

  I’ve heard this before that some people have trouble finding it in the Brasilian store. I don’t know how to fix it, as I have no restricted my app from sale anywhere to my knowledge. I wish I could help, but this is really Apple’s ball game.

can´t you put for sale at cydia store? or rock? it would be much better, so you can get rid of apple´s tiranism and lack of information to developers, and aim a public that usually does not buy anything from itunes store.

or, can´t you make an exception to a user who wants to pay, but cannot buy, and provide the swuc.app folder, so I can run on my iphone? i pay you more on sw lite and swuc, $10 on paypal, how about that? i know 10 bucks isn´t a greeeeat offer, but it´s 5 times reatil price.

i have no interest of selling, reselling, modifying or anything, just want to play it. i downloaded a ’shareware’ on rock, and it stops at 12th level, if I´m not mistaken. I wanna go further, but there´s no way to buy through apple sh1t store.

  Do you know how to crack an application yourself. Or if not, do you know how to use ssh at all?
Written by celio about 9 months ago. Reply

SSH is no problem, use it daily on winscp and others, but I don´t know how to crack the game. i thought the version I downloaded wasn´t the full one.

My email is celiovaz |at| gmail.com , if there´s anything you can do, I´ll really apreciate. Loved your game, great work!

Anyway, I won´t bother you again, it´s not my intention to waste your time. If you can, would be awesome, if not, well… I´ll have to wait for Apple to figure it out.

best regards,
celio
