Norm's Big Escape

Developer: Gamebowl, Inc.

Platform(s): iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

Price: $0.99


Take it from Norm: it's hard being too flabby to fly. Your feathered friends turn their beaks up at you, busy bees aim their stingers your way and hungry tribesmen want to roast you for lunch. Your only hope of escape rests with humans and their thumbs!

Help Norm take flight through a mystical jungle filled with dangerous traps and hazards – tap and hold to inflate and keep him rising, tilt to guide him through obstacles, and release to squeeze through tight pathways. Careful though, once your finger’s off the screen, Norm begins to descend! Can you find the balance between floating and bloating?

And don’t forget to feed him tasty beans to stay alive and boost your score. It’s the reason he’s a little rounder than he should be, but a bird’s gotta eat, right?

Features
  • Meet the adorable Norm!
  • Controls are simple to learn, but hard to master – even a plump bird needs good timing!
  • Collect golden eggs for awesome power-ups like Ghost, Heli-Boost and Blaster.
  • Unlock utilities from the in-game store to keep you flying high – Angel Wings, Shield, Jet and Rocket.
  • Share your high scores on Twitter and Facebook.
  • And the action doesn’t stop there. Look out for future titles from Gamebowl as we expand Norm’s world (and waistline) to include new characters and adventures!

Top 5 Initial Sketches [Game Development Blog]

From the initial idea, our game is slowly taking form. Here are our Top 5 initial sketches and ideas out of tons of sketches and ideas. This would give you some clues what we are trying to create.


The very first sketch! Can you guess what game this is? We have gotten answers like basketball, racing and even ping pong. Those guesses are faaar from what we have in mind. :)


Here, we explored a bit on the trampoline inspired with some good ole 8-bit games. 


Going wild on the concepts - outer space!


After outer space, we tamed ourselves down and came up with industrial steam powered sketches.


After all angles have been explored, we all agree and decide on using the forest as our playground. The forest is familiar, very dense, interesting, mysterious and has a lot of possibilities.

An Idea is Born [Game Development Blog]


Great Ideas are usually born with a big box (make it 3) of PIZZA!

At the Gamebowl studio, we are passionate about creating mobile games that create awesome experiences. Aside from our love for games, our appetite also bind us together.


So after the pizza and the "aha" moment, the left brain has to do its job!

We are serious about games! We wake up, eat and sleep for games. We have as much fun as we can at the studio, but when it comes to game development, we are dead serious.


More planning planning planning! We just love creating games!!!

We'll be posting the development of our game as it happens! You'll all be part of it!
