I submitted to the App Store earlier today, so if all goes will Bintu Run will be available in a few weeks! It will be a free download supported by ads and in-app purchases that give you some stylish extras and remove ads. If you are a fan of game music, you can listen to the original soundtrack online. The music is loosely inspired by a few classic 2d games and there are some relaxed and some dangerous tracks. More Screenshots
Everything is ready and apple reviewed and Bintu Run will release on IOS just two days from now. RELEASE DATE : 7/22/2015 Also for anyone interested I wrote a blog entry on the Design Goals in creating the game.
The art style and gameplay look interesting, but why the name? The name of Bintu run sounds like word play on Binturoung, however many people don't even know what a binturoung is. Red Pandas are much well known and have a bit of "internet sensation" clout (at least in the states). I'll be looking forward to it's release tomorrow, best of luck!
Hi Unlockabear, Yeah the name is wordplay on Binturong -> Bintu Run Just trying to be a bit different using a Binturong as a main character & in the name, hopefully it's not too different that people have trouble remembering it / passing on the game. The app has already been set as released, but still not showing up in the store yet. I'm hoping it's there when I wake up tomorrow.
Hehe cool game! I felt a little Leo's fortune wibe in sense of the gameplay and world design! Cheers! Tim
Hey Tim, Actually I never knew of Leo's Fortune until now but looks really cool! The iTunes App Page page showed up 6 hours after release so Bintu Run is technically downloadable, but I still don't see it in searching the store on the phone. So I learned Apple might not be kidding saying allow up to 24 hours, it's been 19+ hours already.
