Hey Beta Testers –

Login now to download the latest build of Snowferno (b0.9.2) which is our first build released to our beta testers. We emailed you the login info — let Ben know if you need it re-sent (or if you want to join the beta program).

We’re looking for the following:

1. Any bugs, naturally.
2. How the level progression/ balance feels. (ie is it too hard or too easy?)
3. and really anything else you want to tell us about the game!

Please post your thoughts in the comments section below, or email support@benbritten.com.

We are hoping to have the beta last about 2 weeks. If there are big bugs to fix, then we will do additional releases during the 2 week time. Our plan is to do a “final” pre-submission release in 10 days — around July 15.  After that we will submit the newest build as v1.0 to the App Store, and any remaining issues will be fixed in v1.0.1.

b0.9.2 Known Issues

• The number readout in the upper left is a Frames Per Second meter to gauge performance. This is for beta only.
• Settings > Control > “Post Score” toggle does not connect to the online API yet.
• Online account management stuff isn’t ready yet. (Settings > Control > “My Leaderboard Settings” takes you to a placeholder page.)
• There are some text-overlay “story” elements and SFX still missing, but nothing that affects gameplay.
• If you make it all the way to the end, it will be obvious that something fancier will replace the final screen.
