Omium was just released! A 2 player shoot em up for the iPad. You can get it on the app store by clicking here. It available at the consumer friendly price of 99 cents so I hope you will give it a shot.
Here are a few screenshots:

Bad Guys demonstrating the famous Flying V
General chaos and mayhem
Omium is a 2 player shoot em up. The 2 players literally face each other as one player controls the ship and shoots at the Bad Guys falling down the screen. The other player is controlling where the Bad Guys are going, how big they are, and how fast they are moving.
There are 3 game modes:
Dodge - The Bad Guys win when one of them touches the ship. The ship can shoot Bad Guys to make them smaller until they pop out of existence.
Juggle - The Bad Guys win when one of them reaches the bottom of the screen or touches the ship. The ship must constantly shoot the Bad Guys into the air to make sure they don’t reach the bottom!
Infinite - Similar to Dodge except that the Bad Guys wrap around to the top of the screen once they reach the bottom. The ship has better ammo in this mode that destroys the Bad Guys faster but this ammo costs more so make sure to save it up.
Omium has been submitted to the app store and should be available very soon!

“Nimblebit describes Dizzypad as a cross between Doodle Jump and Koi Pond, but quite frankly it’s much better than both.” - App Advice
“like with any good game, it’s harder than it looks and does a good job keeping you trying for higher score.” - Touch Arcade
“It’s addictive and simple fun, with every missed jump just one tap away from starting over again and that familiar thought that ‘this time, I can do it better.’” - TUAW
“Overall it is another solid game from NimbleBit. The difficulty curve is just right, the control scheme efficient and the presentation certainly a cut above” - Games Uncovered
“Just like Nimblebit’s 9 other games, Dizzypad is as addicting as it gets!” - Appmodo
“a fun, well-rounded, casual and visually good-looking gaming experience which is both addictive and at the same time, a joy to play. I really can’t recommend this game enough!” - 148Apps
“The combination of strategy, challenge, and fun make this game an instant hit” - No DPad
“Dizzypad LOOKS easy but it’s challenging in itself and challenging to put down, it’s that addicting!” - The APPera

Stay tuned for more release information in the weeks ahead, including a 4 package deal!
Also included in the latest beta update (which you can access by pre-order), is a new goal mode map, Hoops.
A special thanks goes out from us here at NimbleBit to everyone who has helped us beta testing the game. We hope you will pre-order and continue to be the foundation of the Zero Gear player community!
Our recent silence has been due to the fact that we have been working on this whopper of an update! This update is filled to the gills with great stuff, including not 1, not 2, but THREE new maps. Eight Iron – a western themed tight and action packed figure 8 track, Space Race – an eye jolting floating space track, and Touchdown – a football themed goal mode map.
Word to your mother.

Hey guys, I hope you will forgive us for a few missed IKWYDLW posts! We have been extremely busy fixing and fiddling with the Zero Gear Beta to try and get a new build out once a week. So far we have been able to make a lot of fixes and slight changes from feedback to the game thanks to over 50,000 people that have signed up for the beta! We are getting closer to a release version of Zero Gear with every new beta build.
One of the things that will be in the next build is a new target mode pachinko map, I have taken a short clip to showcase it:
Stay tuned for more breaking Zero Gear news!
I took a lot of new screenshots over the last few days, the ones we currently have up on the Zero Gear site are really old so I wanted to put up some that reflected the current state of the game. You can view them on MyZeroGear.com’s media page!
