Poodle Invasion [iPhone, Games]

Poodle Invasion is a fun and quirky little shooter for the iPhone. You fight your way against the horde of poodle’s that have invaded the planet. As scary as this may sound, you don’t have to worry much as you are well equipped including bling and fashionable items you get to accumulate during your heroic adventure. Tilt your iPhone to control the cat (???) or drop bombs to obliterate all poodles in near proximity. Sounds fun?

Interestingly, the game was created using GameSalad, a game development framework which allows users to create games without programming a single line of code. You can build games using a drag-and-drop interface along with already included behavior system. There are a bunch of templates available including those for a ‘Basic Platformer’, “Shoot’em Up”, pong style game and few more. To update the graphics you can just use those available and customise your own in an image editing app. Simple and straight forward. Of course, as you’d expect this is all quite limiting (without getting into code) but nevertheless if you have ideas for visual style that you want to explore this may be the quickest way to do it and get things up and running quickly. In the example of Poodle Invasion, you WILL find the game somewhat slow, gameplay limited and controls slightly odd. These are all most probably the limitations of the framework. But for testing purposes and being able to quickly illustrate your ideas not using a single line of code, this could be interesting for many. Check it out at: gamesalad.com

      I wish they'd make something like GameSalad but for making audio and music apps for the iPhone, and other mobile platforms. Maybe they could call it AudioSalad?

      Hey there filip! thanks for the post on poodle invasion! just became a new reader of your site!
      unfortunately the software is still in beta, so there are many performance issues and limitations. But nothing that time wont fix.

      @PalmSounds
