Are you going to put BombSquad Remote on Andriod?
Done.
Any plans to release an Android remote app? Would be very useful…
Android need!
I think a networked controller would be good so people can use their keyboard controls instead of sharing input on one device. But I ain’t complaining. Good job Eric.
FULL IPHONE BOMBSQUAD!!!
Working on it
how to use the iphone remote?
My mac opens the game and both are in the same wifi network,
but the iphone still says “searching for game” all the time….
Try making a network from your mac and connecting your iphone to it..
I had the same problem and that worked.
Tried that as well, no problem with connecting. Still no control . .
Hmm that may mean you have a firewall or some other security software preventing data from getting through. You could try disabling stuff like that on your router and see if that helps. Another thing worth trying is creating a network directly on your mac (“Create Network…” under the airport menu) and connecting your iOS device directly to that. It’s kind of tedious, but one upside is that data will be going straight to your Mac so your latency should be really low.
I am not able to get the remote to display the controls. I have an iphone 5 and am running v. 1.3.1 of bombsquad. It says searching for games and then I start the app and it finds my computer and displays the name, but does not show any controls. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting each device and creating a network and connecting directly to that. None of that shows the controls on the remote app. What am I missing?
I am an idiot. I finally touched the computer name and it accessed the controls.
Ha no worries that’s happened to several people. I need to make it more obvious that you have to tap on the name.
ANDROID controller app needed!
Pls do it!
And by the way – awesome game.
But we can’t play it in multiplayer…because there is no android controller
You guys recently updated the app so that it only works on iOS5 now, so can you send me a download link to the version of the app that works with iOS4.2.1 because my iPod is a second gen and cannot update to iOS5. Other than that great game!
Sorry for the slow response, but I just submitted an update to the iOS remote which *should* run on iOS4 again.. it should be out in the next week or so. I don’t actually own any iOS4 devices to test on but hopefully it works for you…
I wish the Android version of your remote functioned the same as the iphone version. At least it should have a fixed joystick. The floating one is extremely annoying and makes playing the game impossible.
I’ll throw that on my list of things to add.. I wanted to streamline the remote and wasn’t sure if anyone actually used the tilt or fixed-joystick options.. I’ll take this as a yes.
Just uploaded 1.2 with a fixed-joystick option. It should be available in a few hours on google play and a few days on amazon..
