Red Rocket Games' first two titles - Little Runner and Mevo and the Grooveriders - were Top 100 hits in the App Store - which is more than you can say for the majority of the 80k titles available. To ask a more pointed question, Red Rock's iPhone games have been quirky, innovative and creative but perhaps not massive chart successes, so why do you think developers should trust you as a publisher? As a partner, we couple technical expertise with deep marketing know-how. Red Rocket Games has already developed and published four titles in the course of the last eight months for the iPhone. Developers and publishers are certainly different beasts.
Pocket Gamer: Good developers and good publishers have different skills so why do you think as a good developer, you will also be a good publisher?
We caught up with CEO and founder Jung Suh to gauge the lay of the land. US/Chinese studio Red Rocket is the latest to reconfigure its business model to the new battleground. Even though the game is accessible and easy to play for all levels of players, advanced players will be challenged with the game's multiple layers of game play, including hidden levels, power-ups, badges and dance packs.The iPhone developer-turned-publisher meme is continuing to gather momentum.
No matter what skill level, players are rewarded with avatars, dance packs and badges to help progress through the game. Power-ups include slow mo, shield up, "perfect boost" scoring, and autopilot. By successfully completing the levels, players can access new areas and songs, or be rewarded with in-game items, such as avatar pieces that are needed to activate power-ups. Using a simple 2-key tap system (space bar and enter), players tap out the beats to re-energize MEVO and push him forward.Īs the game progresses, the beat sequences become more complex, evolving from basic single beats to rapid beats, combinations, sequences and long-hold sustains with breaks. In MEVO's quest to reunite his band, bring back 'FUNK', and defeat the enemy SILENCE, players must successfully progress through five beautifully crafted worlds (Ocean, Jungle, Desert, Space and Wormhole), finding avatars along the way that will help our reluctant hero unlock other levels and reach certain scores.
