The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Tap Them

Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We at Joystiq believe no one deserves to starve, and many indie developers are entitled to a fridge full of tasty, fulfilling media coverage, right here. This week, we’re talking to Jordan Morgan about tappin’ that app, with Tap Them.

What’s your game called, and what’s it about?

My game is called Tap Them. There are two versions, Tap Them Pro and Tap Them Free. At its core, it’s what we iOS devs call a falling-objects game. Evil circles fall from the top of the screen, and you have to “Tap Them” before they reach the bottom. During development, my family always asked “What’s the story for the mean-looking circles?” and the truth is, I never had one! They were easy to make and edit in CS5, and since there are nine different types I just stuck with it. I might add a little background slapstick story behind it in the future, who knows.
