Shotgun Free for Android Released

October 21st, 2010 by

After releasing 7 apps for iPhone and iPod Touch and 1 for iPad, Inedible Software, LLC is finally entering the Android arena. Shotgun Free for Android is an Android port of Inedible’s most successful app to date, Shotgun Free on iPhone and iPod Touch. It features the accelerometer-based gesture detection that simulates the pumping and firing of a pump-action Shotgun.

Shotgun Free for Android was released today on GetJar, an international app store. “We decided to release on GetJar because it can be accessed on almost any Android device in almost any country, “ said Inedible co-founder Eddie Marks. “Other distribution channels are more limited – often blocked from devices or countries by a carrier or manufacturer. Obviously, we want to reach the biggest audience we can.”

While a few Shotgun simulators had already been released on the Android Market, the developers at Inedible Software thought they could release a higher-quality product. “We felt that the accelerometer algorithms we developed for the original Shotgun Free provide for a much better experience than any of our competitors” said Inedible Android Lead Aaron Coleman.

Shotgun Free for Android is available now for supported Android devices, free on GetJar.

Shotgun Duel Released

October 20th, 2010 by

After over 7.5 million downloads of Shotgun Free, Inedible Software, LLC is proud to kick it up a notch with Shotgun Duel, available now free for the iPhone and iPod touch. Shotgun Free and Shotgun Pro were the first toy guns on the store with real gesture detection for cocking and firing, and Shotgun Duel brings two-player dueling over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, brand new Retina display optimized artwork, online leaderboards, improved accelerometer based gesture detection, Facebook integration, and more.

While other virtual guns on the App Store compete on quantity and realism of guns, Shotgun Duel follows the spirit of Shotgun Free in just trying to be the most fun. The challenge for Shotgun Duel was to provide as much new functionality as possible without losing the spontaneity and accessibility of the original. “We wanted to be very careful to make sure you could still just pull out a shotgun and blast away,” noted Inedible co-founder James Anthony. “That said, shotguns are inherently social items. People love threatening their closest friends and challenging them to the death.”

In addition to the social features, Shotgun Duel has more customizability than ever thanks to a new virtual currency system where users can earn points by completing achievements and spend them on new guns, backgrounds, and extras. ”We want to really reward users who love trying to break their fastest time and competing with their friends,” said co-founder Eddie Marks. “The guns and stages we’re launching with look amazing, and we’ve got lots more on the way.”

Shotgun Duel is available now for the iPhone and iPod touch for free on the App Store.

Android Shotgun In the Works

September 23rd, 2010 by

We recently put our awesome intern Aaron on the task of creating an Android version of Shotgun Free. This is completely an experiment for us — James and I believe that both Android and the Android Market have serious flaws and pale in comparison to their Apple counterparts (iOS and the iTunes App Store). I have no idea how this is going to go, but I’ll be sure to blog about our experience as it unfolds. Hopefully it goes well.

One Hit Wonders Released

May 5th, 2010 by

Inedible Software is pleased to announce the launch of their sixth iPhone application, One Hit Wonders. One Hit Wonders is designed to help users locate one-off, likely forgotten about songs in their iPod library. To do this it only shows songs with a unique artist and album – in other words, a user’s own personal one hit wonders.

Many people nowadays have huge music collections with tons of albums and playlists. They’ve also added random individual songs given to them by friends or downloaded as singles. Such tracks can easily be lost, and so One Hit Wonders was created to help users reclaim these gems. They took the time to add them to their library, so they should have a way of finding them again.

One Hit Wonders is currently available for free on the iTunes App Store and is compatible with all iPhone and iPod touch models.

Shotgun Duel in Development!

April 8th, 2010 by

I’d like to officially announce the start of development of Shotgun Duel, the sequel to our popular applications Shotgun Free / Pro. One of the major enhancements is the addition of multiplayer dueling (hence the name), which we’ve been working on quite diligently. James and I had our first duel yesterday, and I won. More info to come.


Updates for Air Guitar, Shotgun Free and Shotgun Pro

April 8th, 2010 by

In the last few days we released updates for Air Guitar, Shotgun Free and Shotgun Pro. We managed to fix what seems to be all of the major outstanding crashes, most of which were on iPhone OS 2.2.1. We (James in particular) get quite upset when our apps crash, and while we think we generally write stable code there are always a few things that fall through the cracks. I think and hope we just swept all of that up.


Song Sift Released!

October 21st, 2009 by

Inedible Software, LLC is pleased to announce the launch of their fifth iPhone application, Song Sift. Song Sift is designed to help users find music from their iPod library by hiding all of the scattered entries introduced by playlists, compilations, and random downloads. Most user libraries contain artists or albums with only a single song, making it difficult to browse for long chunks of music to listen to in the car or gym.

“A friend was complaining about the frustration of navigating into artists with only one song, and I knew exactly what he was talking about,” recounts co-founder Eddie Marks. “We started working on a solution right away.” In the course of development, Marks found that over 50% of the artists on his phone had only a single song, confirming that there was a real problem in using the built-in music library directly. “Now I go straight to Song Sift every time I’m looking for something to listen to.”

Song Sift features a simple and convenient interface, keeping the familiar paradigm of the standard library and adding a simple slider to instantly filter the results. Once a user selects a song, the built-in music player takes over so all the standard features are available, like double-tapping the home button for quick control.

Song Sift is currently available on the iTunes App Store for $0.99 and is compatible with all iPhone and iPod touch models.
