Just noticed that the Tokyo iPhone game maker Score Studios have a new game out. It looks really fun. It's a sheep herding game. I'm assuming that you tap on the screen to get the sheep to go to their pen. Has anyone tried it? Both of the reviews on the Japan store are in English.
Yeah, I think that's a good tactic. ¥350 is a bit hard to plunk down without seeing what it's like. I have to admit that I'm in two minds about the price. My consumer mind thinks that it's a bit expensive for a casual game. My fellow developer mind knows just how much work went into making it (especially for a small studio) and understands the pricing.
Either way, when I went to buy the game, I was told I couldn't get it since the minimum requirements are 3.1.2 (I'm on the previous version). Seems like the creators have a bit to learn still.
