Burpee Hero
Public Launch Next Tuesday
We’ll be in the App Store on Tuesday (August 4)! The app has been approved by Apple, now we’re just waiting till launch date to release it into the wild.
A lot of my time in the last month has been dedicated to preparing screenshots for the App Store, reaching out to media, and tying up a few other loose ends before launch.
The build that will go out as version 1.0 is almost a week old. I’ve added a few more things since then, I’ll put out a quick update once the launch is done to include some additional changes.
New Gear
I’ve added a few more equipable items. Shoes increase your energy meter’s capacity link. Headbands don’t do anything yet, but they look pretty cool, there are 6 different headbands link. In the future, I’m thinking certain headbands will benefit you different bosses or events, but we’ll see.
New Food Items
Bananas give you +20 energy Eggs increase your capacity by 100 for 1 day. This is helpful when your energy is full, but you don’t have time to work out today. You can continue accruing more energy. Steak increases your recovery by 2 energy per hour for 1 day. Energy drink six pack - this is an in-app purchase and gives you 6 energy drinks.
In-App Purchases
I’ve added in-app purchases for the following items:
- Burpee Bucks - You can buy 20, 50, or 100 for real money. You can still earn them for free within the app, but that takes longer.
- Gold Shirt - Originally the gold shirt was purchasable with burpee bucks. I decided to replace that with a different shirt instead, the Burpee Hero Logo shirt (costs 100 Burpee Bucks). The gold shirt is an in-app purchase only.
- Energy Drink 6 Pack - Make sure you never run out of energy.
Thank You!
Thanks for reading. I’ll send out a quick reminder on Tuesday so you can download the app.
If you still have the beta installed, you may want to uninstall it at the time and reinstall it from the App Store. Make sure you save your progress by linking your Apple Id (under Burpee Hero Settings).
