Introducing Backflow!
Hello everyone,
It’s been a while! We’ve been busy with lots of contract work and other projects that there just wasn’t enough time to post. Well, to make things up here’s a new iPhone game that Tzai is publishing, introducing Backflow!
Backflow is a casual puzzle/action game that requires players to flip switches along their city’s pipe network to sort various types of wastes. Pipe layouts get more complex and waste flows faster and more frequently as your city grows!
Backflow has been a Finalist at the Independent Games Festival (IGF) Mobile 2008 for Innovation in Mobile Game Design category and the IGF Mobile Best Game.
The game is developed by Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab, creators of critcally acclaimed CarneyVale: Showtime.
COMING VERY SOON. Please stay tuned for more details in the next few days!
For more information about Backflow please visit the game’s official site: http://backflow.tzai-entertainment.com/
Flare stage and Graze mode available for free play in Shmusicup for a limited time promotion!
We have decided to release Flare stage and Graze mode free to let players experience more of Shmusicup! Have a go and experience the intensity of the bullet patterns! Hurry, free for a limited time only, try it out now!
Finally! We found the problem!
After much investigation and research we finally found out the problem where some players cannot play Shmusicup in some browsers. Unfortunately this problem lies in the Adobe Flash plugin, and is caused when more than one Flash is running (including advertisements). The bug is in the computeSpectrum command, which we used in our game. Adobe has already been notified of the bug and a detailed bug report can be found here: http://bugs.adobe.com/jir a/browse/FP-147
This problem is most prominent in Google Chrome, whereas most players with Firefox and Safari are fine, although some did reported the issue. (An update to the Flash player should solve the issue in Firefox / Safari). So far there have not been complaints for Internet Explorer.
The game now traps the error and provides instructions on how to work around it. A workaround for this problem is to either close any other Flash running, or run the game in a different web browser. Alternatively PC players can also download the game from the game page.
It has been an arduos task trying to fix this elusive bug, and we’re pretty disappointed that in the end we need to depend on Adobe’s fix, which obviously will take some time.
Very sorry for the inconvenience caused. We hope that Adobe resolves this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
Shmusicup v1.0.1 fix
We found out that due to some issues with standalone Flash players, the download version of Shmusicup did not link correctly to the Paypal buy page. This issue, along with some minor bugs, is now fixed in v1.0.1. Please download again to ensure you have the latest version. Thanks!
