Update #3: Plan B
Hi everyone,
I want to thank you all who pledged money to this project. It really means a lot to me. And just because the campaign was not successful doesn't mean the game is dead. Recently there have been some interesting developments which I can't talk about because I'm non-disclosed, but let me just say that this game will exist. I have a Plan B.
For those of you who don't know me personally already you can find me online in the following places:

And you can always email me at devospice@gmail.com. Please stay in touch! And thank you all for your support.

Update #2: Rollers Illustration
One of my backers suggested I do an illustration showing the main characters of the game since currently they can only be seen briefly as sketches in the video. I thought this was a great idea, so over the past few days I did this illustration showing the Rollers (without their environment suits) entering a cavern to attack the crystals.
The drawing was done using color pencils on paper. If there's interest I can add prints of this to the rewards, or even offer the original drawing for the right amount.

There you go, make more drawings of scenes in the game to not only show what you have in mind, but also as prizes. Good idea!

Update #1: Crossed $1000
Hey everyone,
Today we crossed the $1000 mark, so we are well on our way. We still have a long way to go, though, and we are almost at the halfway point of the campaign. So I'm a little behind the curve. I'm not worried, though.
Several people have asked about an Android version, if there will be one, and should you support the project if you only currently use Android and not iOS. Yes, you should. I am planning to make an Android version after the iOS version launches, and assuming it is moderately successful. And by moderately successful I just mean earns me enough money to fund the port to Android. I'm not looking for Angry Birds numbers here. The revenue that I earn from the iPhone version of the game will go toward an Android port and as soon as I have earned enough money to pay the developers to port the game I will do so. So if you're an Android user and you want to see an Android version of this game keep in mind that I have to fund the iOS version first. So yes, you should pledge.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me spread the word about this campaign so far. Let's keep it going! The more people who know about this project the more likely it'll be that it gets funded. So let's spread the word!

Why is it always "non-disclosure"? Just once I'd like to see a "Mandatory Disclosure Agreement" where you _have_ to talk about it on the web.
Sorry you didn't make it. Hope you try again with another game.
There is talk about releasing some information to the public, so I may be able to talk about it, at least in a limited capacity, soon. Here's hoping! :)
