Hello All,

It is with an extremely heavy and painful heart to tell you that my precious Sarah has passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 1st.  The game is now in memory of her. More details can be found on the main blog @ https://sos-cc.org

The update, 1.2, was submitted to Apple today.  Here is the change log:

  • Updated the following screens in how to play section:
    • Inventory, Inventory +, Interface, medical supplies, and Controls
  • Updated the following screens in SOSopedia
    • Boss, Hazards, Items, and Enemies
  • All How To menu screens are now pop up windows instead of whole screen
    • allows for better quality and a cleaner interface
    • tap window to close when done
  • Created Video (Graphic) Options to turn on/off graphics
    • able to turn off advanced lighting
      • this is a big performance boost to old iPhones and iPads if turned off
    • able to turn on VSync
      • this can help potential screen tearing.  
      • Only advised to turn this on for new iPhones and iPads as it takes lots of resources
      • this is OFF by default
    • able to turn off particles
      • this will provide a performance boost to older devices when turned off
  • fixed a bug where if you quit game it counted it as 2 played games in the stats menu
    • now quitting a game does not count as a played game
      • played game only counts if you get victory or game over
  • adjusted hit animation when attacking germs to be larger in size so it stands out and has more impact
  • adjusted shine animation when picking up items to be larger so it has more impact
  • Fixed the text on the medical cabinet 
    • not overlapped with proceeded category
    • Heart increase purchase text changed
    • adjusted the text drawn to the screen
  • decreased starting prices of ImmunoTherapy and Heart Increase in the medical cabinet
    • ImmunoTherapy starting price is now 10 coins
    • Increase Hearts starting prices is now 5 coins
  • Reduced the cost of 2nd and 3rd permanent upgrade for Heart and Stamina Increase in the pharmacy
    • 2nd upgrade now cost 50 coins and 3rd upgrade cost 100 coins
  • updated splash screen
  • Fixed a bug on the continue game option where it would still play title track and not appropriate chapter song
  • Fixed a bug where if you un-paused the game with the quit dialog box open it would still be on the screen, this now no longer happens

I noticed there is no option for a game pad in the settings, but I hook up my Bluetooth controller will it work for this game as your screen shot above shows one. :) 

I'm really enjoying the game, the only problem I'm having is that I'm not used to the touch screen movement. I really never liked those virtual joysticks. :D

Yes it will work with the game pad. The only thing that does not work with the game pad is the menus and the medical cabinet and diary’s. However this will change. The update I’m working on now will allow the controller to work on all parts of the game as I planning to bring it to Apple TV.

Cool. :) I'll have to find another pad as my bluetooth one is only Windows and Android.

Do you have plans for an Android port?

Very cool! :)

Sorry for your loss and I'm glad you were at least able to complete the game to a release state during your time together. It takes a lot of dedication to pull through during such times.
