A late night of coding produced the first update to Andromeda’s Savior submitted to iTunes.
This new version brings a health bar, a bunch of new enemies to shoot, and much improved Game Center integration. It also includes a check to prevent people from cracking the game and getting free upgrades. To date there are almost $5000 worth of purchases that have been given without payment.
I’m particularly interested in seeing how the game center stuff works to improve the replay-ability of the game. It will now show you, as you play, a picture of your friend who has a higher score than you as an encouragement to challenge your friends. It adds focus to the players playing the game and should at least for some people egg them on to play more and for longer.
The new update should be in the store next week.
