Build a Planet of Your Own! Play Star City at Nate AppStore!

Rubicon Games’ first city building simulation game ‘Star City’ has finally launched in Nate AppStore this Thursday.  Adding a bit of twist to contemporary city-builders, Star City requires users to explore the hidden planets to mine various minerals, which are used in general construction activities.  Moreover, after exploring different planets, space shuttles bring cute aliens along with them, adding more space-like essence to the game.

Besides the game itself, Star City is also the first game in Nate platform to introduce NateOn Buddy API, which we mentioned in our earlier post.  Contemporary games have only allowed 1-chon network access, which only allows up to 300 friends to play with.  NateOn, however, has no limits to number of friends on list, significantly expanding the pool of individual network.  “NateOn API will provide a much easier environment for users to manage their list of social gaming partners without hindering privacy issues  related to 1-chon network,” says Geo-sung Lee, senior game director of Star City. 

“I’m very happy and proud to present our first city-building game, ‘Star City’ to our users.  Our team has put a lot of effort into this game, especially on sustaining stability.”

Since action speaks more than thousand words, please try out our latest title ‘Star City’ and tell us what you think! Have fun then! :D

Now Check Out Your Rank in Shooting Star!

Recently there were some small but big changes in Shooting Star.  The level of difficulty needed some fine-tuning (less than 50 out of 35,000 users cleared all 50 stages) and the need for rank board was pressing.  Users can now use two SOS items at the same time, whereas before it was limited to only 1 item per game. 

The happier news is that users can now finally check out their rank for each stage.  Before the update, users couldn’t keep track of their best scores for each stage, which made it difficult for users to break their record.  However, users can now review their scores and tryout for the weekly top 25 rankers!  What are you waiting for?  I want to see your name up there!

Item Shop Now Open

After 2 weeks since its launch, Shooting Star has finally opened its new item shop.  We’ve been receiving many feedbacks from our users that some stages are “almost” impossible to clear without using special features.  Now to help our users who are struggling with those “stressful” stages, we are introducing the SOS Item.

SOS Item includes: 1) Slower ball speed, 2) Decrease one color, 3) Eliminate bad items.  Each item costs 100/150/100 star fuel respectively.

Also to help users accumulate more star fuel, there’s an item shop for star fuel as well.  Star fuel is purcahsable through Dotori, which is a cash unit of Nate.

Now that we have more features to help users clear all stages, let’s see how many can clear whole 50 stages, since only three did so far :)

Volcano erupts

Shooting Star’s new stage “Volcano” was newly released last week. Volcano stage came back with faster speed, more colors, harder maps for those hardcore gamers who soon got tired of the “easy” stages. However, now that the map became “too hard”, many are starting to complain about the level of difficulty. And this is clearly visible on the stats since only 1 person out of 24000 cleared the whole stage. Hmm…. sure it is difficult. But guess what? Update is not over yet! ;)

Shooting Star – Recently launched at Nate AppStore

Rubicon Games have recently launched its second game “Shooting Star” in Nate AppStore.  Shooting Star is a hybrid of a shooting game and a puzzle game, where you have to match 3 balls of the same color in order to eliminate them.  Once you eliminate all the existing balls, the stage is clear. 

Does it sound too simple?  But this is not all!  For those sophisticated hardcore gamers, this game has alot more to offer.  By ordering the balls in a symetric order, you can eliminate the balls in combos, which gives you more points.  Once you get into playing it, you will find more efficient ways to eliminate the balls using combos.  What are you waiting for?  Let’s get started! :)
