Big Fat Simulations Gets Facebook Page

After publishing five of our games to Facebook, Big Fat Simulations has now established a Facebook page dedicated directly to the company and all of its’ endeavors.  We invite you to visit us at the link on the left.  Please be sure to “Like” the page, as this will keep you informed of any updates, new releases and news.  As well, liking our Facebook page helps spread the word about Big Fat Simulations!

As a redundancy, we still intend to maintain this blog.  However the Facebook page will enable you to post comments and share your ideas.  We hope to hear from all of you on the new Facebook page here!

Office Jerk Update

An Office Jerk update is now available from iTunes!  Version 1.3 offers three new FREE weapons as well as tons of new taunts, reactions and mayhem.  We are getting some terrific reviews, and are moving our way back up the app store chart with the many improvements we have made.

If you own an iPhone or iPad and haven’t tried version 1.3 of Office Jerk yet, grab it here.  It’s absolutely free!  And be sure to follow us on Facebook for news, updates and freebies!

Airport Madness 4

We are in the early planning stage of Airport Madness 4, with an anticipated release date of Christmas 2011. At this time we are looking for all of your ideas! Please give Airport Madness 3 a thorough play and let us know what you feel is missing, or what could be better.

The biggest improvement over Airport Madness 3 will be a larger selection of airports. Some questions we have of our Airport Madness 3 fans:
  • Would you like a larger resolution?
  • Are pilot voices an important feature to you?
  • Do you prefer cartoon-style graphics or a realistic “Google Earth” look?
  • What type of music do you like? Loud and energetic, or quiet easy-listening?
  • Would you like more control options?
  • More aircraft types?
  • What types of emergencies?
Please write to us! We’ve started the official Airport Madness 4 page here.

Heavy Traffic

Check out this time-compressed video of air traffic at Logan International Airport in Boston.  I very much like the low camera perspective.  The creative juices are flowing for Airport Madness 4!

 

Radar Chaos on Facebook

I would like to invite everyone to try the Facebook version of Radar Chaos.  Share the app with friends, compare top scores and discuss the app on our discussion board and wall. This version is identical to our single-level demo, no longer time-limited.

Radar Chaos is available on over 100 game portals around the world.  We challenge you to give the full version a try, which includes 10 different levels including ‘beginner’ levels for those not familiar with air traffic control procedures.

Radar Chaos was developed in just four intense months.  We wish to thank our incredible beta testers, most notably Thomas Boon who has been testing with us since Airport Madness 1, and was the developer of our Big Fat Simulations Wiki.  Please keep the game feedback coming!

Stay tuned for an ‘enroute’ version of Radar Chaos, likely in the Spring of 2012!

New iOS App: Office Jerk

Big Fat Simulations proudly presents Office Jerk for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users.

Working in an office can be boring, and it doesn’t help when some do-good know-it-all sits across from you all day. You know the type: he runs to the boss when you do something wrong, complains when you get the last bag of chips in the snack room or always has a better idea than you.

No longer will you sit back and take it! Grab whatever you have nearby — a crumpled piece of paper, a mug, a shiny red stapler or crack open the ACME pack for added fun — and wipe that smirk off his face in the feel-good app of the year, from Fluik Entertainment and Big Fat Simulations.
