Welcome to version 1.1.0 of Phoenix Spirit. This time we have added a much requested feature. Yes, you have all been waiting for it: the virtual joystick!

Changelist:
- Added virtual joystick controls
- Tweaked beginning of the level to make it slightly more forgiving
- Added an extra savepoint in the beginning

This is an automated post since we are on vacation. However the patch should’ve been approved by Apple at this point.

Some more reviews on Phoenix Spirit

It’s been a while since we made an update about media coverage. Mostly it is due to the fact that we are getting less and less. However this batch of reviews is quite interesting as it has some serious reviewers such as Slide to play and Fingergaming.

What are we working on this week?

We have quite a few projects going on over here. First off we are still working hard to bring an updated Fall of Atlantis back to the App Store. We anticipate it to be ready for sale in early July. What you will find is that we have improved the gameplay of the story mode quite a bit by actually making use of the platforming that was non-existent in the previous version. The graphics has also been enhanced to look less blurry and dark. Last but not least there’s also some dialogues to give some more background to the world of Atlantis.

As for Phoenix Spirit we are currently investigating if we can put in alternate controls that have been requested by a lot of people. In fact the majority of bad reviews stems from the fact that people want to be able to choose control style.

What’s this you say? Let’s say our good friends over at Spearhead Beijing has been working on this for a while and well it has been successful enough for us to port it over to the iPhone! More information on this later.

Oh, we also have a secret project going on cause hey… all studios need secret projects.
