    Installed the lite. Seems like a good marketing technique. Has just about enough to get the player craving for more! I played through the first pack and didn't find anything really worth changing.

    Sorry to be spamming this video everywhere but it's kinda appropriate here. Anyway, here's the new promo video for Blockees. Busted my balls getting this done tonight but I'm really happy with the result.

    yeah the lite version seems to perfectly show off what the full game has to offer in my opinion and leaves the player wanting more.

    btw, nice video!!

    In version 2 (18), everything seems to be working fine. I'll keep working on testing and keep you posted.

    The lite version is good. It doesn't give to much away and it makes you want to go and purchase the full version.

    Ok, so if this is a lite version, and there is only original and rainblock packs, why don't make it cannot create bomb?

    Unfortunately I can't accept any more. I've taken on quite a lot and even though half the people seem to have just done it for a free game and given no feedback what-so-ever, I don't have enough devices left on my account.

    That said, I do really appreciate the feedback the guys in this thread and on the Runloop forums have left and you'll all get a mention in the credits

    Looks like you worked your butt off for that, and it paid off. Awesome trailer that also has viewers craving for more. ;)

    Jack of all trades, me. Let's hope it does pay off. Then maybe the fiance won't hate the fact I've spent so much time on it.

    Hey quick question, What did you use to edit that trailer? It looks really good!

    Also, I left a suggestion in the Runloop forums.

    I used Adobe After Effects.

    Cool, I'll go and check it out.

    Yeah, it did the trick. I don't really know how to use it. But I learnt a few cool new things working on the promo.

    Thats cool! I've had Vegas for a year now and I learn a new thing every time I use it :D

    Also, sorry I haven't given much feedback for the last 2 builds. I've installed them and they worked fine. I wasn't able to really let you know, because I got swamped with school work and YouTube. :/

    Here a question for you all:

    Shall I put the music I used in the promo vid in the game itself? I search for hours to find the right music and feel that piece really has the right vibe. I'm wondering if it should be used to set the vibe in the game as well.

    Yeah, if you made it of course. However, you may want to make it a bit longer because I foresee myself having to turn off my sound due to possible repetitiveness after some time.

    I bought it. The actual track only goes on for 1:20. I'd probably just do what flight control does and play it once and have it silent for the rest of the time. Or maybe an option to loop.
