Wrecking Ball back on App Store.

Wrecking Ball is now back on the App Store after being temporarily unavailable due to the developer account transfer process. Once again, if you already own Wrecking Ball you will not be able to download the app for free. If you happen to loose the .ipa file from your hard drive please contact us and we can assist you. Just like with Cat Trap there will be no further non-esstential updates to Wrecking Ball. Wrecking Ball Lite will be coming back to the App Store soon.

Cat Trap and Cat Trap Lite back on App Store.

Both Cat Trap and Cat Trap Lite are now back on the App Store. As a result of this transfer all customer history has been removed. This means that anyone who downloaded either of these applications previously will no longer be able to access updates, or in the case of Cat Trap, re-download the app for free. To remain fair to those who previously purchased Cat Trap, no further non-essential updates will be made. If under certain circumstances the .ipa file was removed from your HD, feel free to contact us and we will assist you.
Wrecking Ball and Wrecking Ball Lite will hopefully be made available soon.

App Transfer

Our applications are going to be transferred to a new Apple Developer account, this transfer will require the apps to be unavailable on the iTunes App Store. The apps will most likely be removed from the App Store sometime tonight and could be unavailable for at least a week. Availability will depend on the Apple approval process, which could be long during the holiday season.

Once the Apps are back in the App Store all reviews and previous statistics will be gone. We are unsure as to whether previous purchasers will be allowed to re-download and update the application. There is the possibility that previous owners will no longer be able to get updates (without repurchasing the App), if this is the case all further non-critical updates to current Apps will be canceled indefinitely to be fair to those who previously purchased the App.

We apologize for any inconvenience any of this may cause.

New Website & Wrecking Ball Update Information

We are in the progress of finalizing a newly designed website. We feel that the current design is beginning to get dated and less aesthetically pleasing. The new website, which shares many of the characteristics of the current websites in a newly redesigned format, will be released in the next couple days. The website will also be getting a new host which will hopefully increase the load times and reliability.

Things have been busy lately and the latest Wrecking Ball update, which was promised a while back, is still getting finished. Hopefully this update can be released before the end of November. For those who are curious, the new worksite location will be the Lunar Surface! Things take a dramatic and possibly difficult turn when your faced with a whole new gravity field to work in. While working on the moon you wont always be alone, occasionally a passing UFO can be utilized to vaporize blocks.

Sometime in December we will be announcing Alternative Visuals' next planned project, so stay tuned for more information.

Wrecking Ball Lite & Wrecking Ball Update

It has been awhile since the last news update! The first announcement is that Wrecking Ball will be getting a Lite version somewhere in the near future; this way you can download the game for free to try it out.

Also, Wrecking Ball will be getting an update in the near future as well. This update will fix a few bug and add a few minor things, but best of all it will include a new worksite location featuring 10 additional worksites. As the time for release gets closer we will share additional details about this new worksite location.
