At last! Say hello to an absolutely beautiful illustration made exclusively for Pawtergeist. Not only will it be featured front and center in the game, it's available as an exclusive wallpaper to all contributors!

The original is 2048 x 1536 which, as you might know, is the resolution of retina display iPads. It looks incredible.

A massive thanks to Sundance for this special piece.

Trailer 2 is LIVE! It's a little bit different from our first trailer, but I think you'll like it. If you want to see pure gameplay, check out our first trailer HERE!

Android from the Start!

We heard you loud and clear! I know this has been holding a lot of great people from pledging, so let's break down the wall. If we hit our initial goal, Pawtergeist will come to Android shortly after its iOS release.

In addition, contributors current and new will get a promo code for both platforms on release. Nifty!

Make it happen. Get us to our initial goal, pledge now, and break stuff with your friends regardless of your favorite smartphone. Let's do this!

Ah, straight to the point!

A Full Game. 

I believe in making games that do not milk the money from player's pockets. I want this to be a polished, complete experience that can be enjoyed without having to shell out for the other half of the game.

With your help, we can give you an amazing game from the first time you launch it, not twenty dollars down the road. Give what you can and we'll do the rest. 

Bills and Dues.

I've paid for every penny of development out of my own pocket thus far, but I cannot in good conscience continue without paying my coders and artists, most of which have been dutifully volunteering their time to the game. 

Read our profiles below. We have solid talent on our team, but we need help to make this happen. 

And if you can't donate...

Just the same, if you can't contribute financially, word of mouth never hurts. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, neighbor, or strangers on the street  about us! Just avoid the scary ones. Check out our FREE BONUS WALLPAPER, too! 

Breakdown:

We will also be using your funds for the following if we meet our intial goal:

• An additional level.
• Additional animations for Pawl.
• A beautiful 2D GUI. 
• A fully illustrated title screen. 
• QA testing across a wide range of Apple's latest devices.
• Web development fees.
• Coffee. Black. 

iOS and Android to start, with support for iPhone 4 and Up, iPad 2 and Up, iPod Touch 4th Gen and Up, and iPad Mini. We're also aiming for select Android devices, namely ones with gyroscopes to take advantage of our control scheme.

If we meet one or more of our funding goals, we plan to expand to a variety of other devices! You can make it happen, we'll do all we can. 

I'm Peter, one of four founders of JambleBerry LLC. This is our debut game. We believe in making things a little out of the ordinary. Here's the rest of the team in their own words!

Joshua

Coming from a small town in Arizona, he got his start making maps almost 10 years ago and went on to make the 'ever popular' arena_watchtower for TF2. He now spends his days making models for jerks.

David 

When David was four, he asked his mother how to make video games. She told him he needed to learn how to program, so he asked how to program. She told him he needed to learn how to read first. Hailing from the mysterious lands of New Jersey, David currently lives in Redmond, Washington.

Franco

Franco is a nonfictional member of the team that contributes where he can in hopes of escaping the roofie cycle that is corporate IT. Having already been fortunate enough to escape Florida without ending up on Fark, he’s wandered his way into Houston, Texas, where he has been stranded for over two years.

A 360° gyroscopic arcade shooter for iOS and Android that has the player defending their house from a ghost cat by whipping their prized possessions at his face.

Meter (1)

The player has to fill a constantly decreasing meter to prevent Pawl from possessing your house. When you push the meter over the top by throwing things and combining various potions, you level up, combos are worth more, and Pawl becomes a whole lot more of a handful! Good luck, you'll need it! 

Grabbing (2)

Tapping a prop will place it in the player's left or right hand. Tapping the corresponding part of the screen will send that prop flying.  Tapping them both at once can have... interesting effects. (see: EXPLOSIVE POTIONS!) 

Delicious Flavor Text (3) 

Whenever a prop breaks, it leaves a small message to the player in memorium, often in the form of a terrible pun. Check out our tiers for the option to grab your own personalized flavor text. We'll have a lot more props in the final game as well. 

Affectionately named ‘Pawl’ for short, he’s the ectoplasm hairball here to haunt you. He leaves interdimensional hairballs on the carpet. He leaves rifts in the furniture. And if you don't get rid of him, he'll possess your stuff quicker than a bad foreclosure.

GAME FEATURES

Extremely dangerous, highly explosive potions that you promised to clean up but never did. Especially the ones teetering dangerously close to the edge of tables. Picking up two of a like color has a combo effect.

Red + Red = Set Pawl ablaze!

Causes damage continuously in addition to props for five seconds. 

Yellow + Yellow = 2X Damage!

Props count for double for the next five seconds! 

Blue + Blue = Slow Motion!

Makes you feel awake, makes Pawl feel max pain, slows the entire world down for five seconds. 

We're working on a few more combinations and possibly a fourth color, stay tuned! 

Using your device's gyroscope, your screen becomes a window into the game environment. Utilizing the iPhone and iPad to the fullest, Pawtergeist’s controls are entirely gyroscopically driven, with options to increase or decrease sensitivity for the best possible experience. Yes, you can play while sitting down! You won't even have to fight for the arm rest. 

Oh yes, there's hats!

Pawl will wear a random item each time the game is played. Some are there from the beginning, some are unlocked. All are fashionable.
