Shameless Self-Promotion: Starcrossed!

I’ve mentioned once or twice in the past that I left the hurly-burly world of normal jobs so that my husband and I could try our hand at independent game development. Our first game — a casual puzzle game called Starcrossed, in roughly the same vein as Bejeweled  — has just launched today on the iWin network. If you’ve ever been curious about what I do when I’m not obsessing over hunter pets, then feel free to check it out:

The goddess Ione needs your help to save her friends and rebuild the cosmos! Rescue the celestial spirits and help them complete their mysterious work by manipulating planets, stars and more in this unique tile puzzler.

And be sure to try the Challenge Grid — I spent a lot of time trying to balance the bloody thing. *grin*

    Great game!!! Keep up the good work.

    Oh, and I appreciate you using definitive shapes because I am color blind and most games of that nature elude me.

    Thanks, Messyah! We found the shapes easier to deal with ourselves, but .. I bet the red and green colored tiles cause problems. Shoot. We should have thought about that more. Isn’t that always the way — as soon as you launch you think of something else to fix. At least MMOs get that chance. :>

    As far as I know, there was only 1 game put into mass production that had a setting specific for the colorblind people. I forget what game it was, but if I remember I will post it.

    No idea why, but I just remembered I’ve been meaning to ask if you intend to put together a Mac-compatible version of this game in the forseeable future? Looks like a great time waster but alas, I am an ecology major and was instructed to get used to a Mac early as it’s the predominant system used in the field… /cry
