Speaking of throwaway quotes from a galaxy far, far away. How about reaching out to these guys on their game?

Nothing says "family friendly" like "We're Doomed!" and "Global Panic"

Actually looks like my kind of game, may get this - Amico version or not.

Think I got the app..Amico Club correct? I’m an Apple guy so hope that is it. Stinks because I’m at work and didn’t bring my IntelliShirt today 😂

Waaaaaah! Got Amico Club app but am at DMV with son getting learner’s permit (for him not me   ). No logo with me. 😭😱💀☠️

Fun stuff but it's too short ... stopped right when it was getting interesting

We tried viewing logo on each other’s phones but it doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks! You’re a life-saver.  My 15 year old wants moar game!  Do does his dad.

Cool little taster but yeah, too short! Was just getting into it, haha. Then I tried to beat my score but the score and time doesn't reset between games so now I have a high score that's the culmination of several attempts. Plays well though. Can't wait to play the full game on Amico

EDIT: Score/time does reset if you lose all lives, just not once you make it to the end and then start over, so I guess you can just keep replaying until you lose your lives.

What's exactly the name of the app ?  I did not find anything on the play store. (Google)

Well on Apple it's Amico Club but I have talked to others that are saying it's not up on the Google store yet.

Amico Club. I couldn't find it either so I used my iPad.

Hehe you can glitch out the UFOs by not firing. Eventually you'll get bombed and then a couple of UFOs will race to the start and just hover above your car. You'll never be able to shoot them as they will stay slightly ahead at all times until the end when they smash into the rocks. Haha satisfying.

That's really great ! We are waiting for Apple, and when Apple is ready, Google is not ! 😮

I think the golden ticket is for entering contests.  The shirt is what activates the game when you point your phone at it using the Amico AR app, if I understand correctly.

Correct.  The Golden Ticket is something entirely different.  Will be launching that program in a few weeks.

It will probably be included in the email but just in case: the official logo for use with the Amico AR app (for those press/reporter types) is in the official press release.

It will be in the e-mail.

You get 2 lives per attempt.  Then the score will reset.

Yes... we made it intentionally super short as a massive tease. 

The idea is to make it a little longer each month.

Still waiting for it to show up on the Google Play Store.  It's already been approved days ago... and we "flicked the switch"... just waiting (which is why the e-mail blast and social media posts haven't gone out yet).

And B-17 BAWWWMER is?

The goal is to escape in a rocket ship. 15 minutes of play time. Good for multiple plays a cocktail... or milkshake. 

And Nuke 'Em! was a family game adverted in Robocop '87, and they'll buy that for a dollar!

Oh cool! I'll keep my eye on it for sure. I like the nice little touches like the dust storm blowing in the background and the physics on the buggy. 

BTW check your PMs - I sent shipping quotes for the Force 2  and maybe begged a little (or a lot) to become an Amico dev

Very cool demo!

It's going to get longer each month? I'd never think of that; my brain is too one-dimensional. I'll definitely be checking back to play more.

Feedback from Son the Eldest (20):

“The game looks so good”

I know everyone is hyped over Moon Patrol but just a little love for the animated logo video
