XperimentalZ Releases Update to DRWAPS

Dont Run With A Plasma Sword, the runner game from XperimentalZ Games has been updated to Version 1.1.3.  This version of the software was released to address a number of bugs, several of which were discovered by A.P.P.L.E. Staff in our testing of the game, including a bug which caused objectives to be auto completed in one particular level of the game.

DRWAPS is a high speed runner game that pits the user against a number of levels of play and many aliens, all with the intention of attacking the runner.  At the end of the story mode levels, the game pits an alien boss against the user, using differing attacking modes and speeds. Different rewards can be purchased with Experience Points within the game.   While the game can be totally upgraded through in-game upgrades, the challenge of accomplishing all these level-up awards is well worth the time it takes to play the game.

You can download the latest version of DRWAPS for $0.99 cents from the Apple iTunes Store at:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dont-run-with-a-plasma-sword/id479907900?mt=8

For users who have already purchased the program, this upgrade of DRWAPS will appear as a free download.

Ideas for Wasteland Kickstarter Project Posted

Brian Fargo has posted some ideas about what he thinks the Kick Starter rewards will look like when he posts the project later this week.  The re-start of the famed Apple ][ based franchise came earlier last month when Bran decided to try and make the project completely funded by a Kick Starter project.  Ideas include statues within the game dedicated to the upper level donors as well as a private party hosted by Brian and Alan Pavlish in honer of the donor.

Wasteland was one of the most popular Apple II games and inXile is attempting to revive the franchise in a manner that is more community driven and community funded.  Brian has laid out all of the levels and each progressive level includes the rewards for the previous level.

You can read the entire layout being proposed at:
