Our Game Longs for Your Touch

by

Download Outwitters for free, and if you feel extra generous you could leave us an App Store review. Huge thanks to everyone for your support with this launch, we’re excited to be entertaining you again.

That’s my favorite headline in recent memory, by the way. Here’s a fun fact that only the beta testers know: if you tap and hold on a completed game entry, you can get a hyperlink to your replay. If anyone views that link on an iDevice with Outwitters installed, they can watch your game. It is known.

Also available today, Outwitters: the Soundtrack by Mike Reagan and his company, REdVOLT Audio. They did all our music and screams of pain and kissy noises for Outwitters. You can stream it for free, or own it for 99¢.

    Now that Outwitters has been released, will you guys try to add some content to Tilt To Live? or will you for the moment stay focused on Outwitters?
    It would be great to have more weapons and more Gamemodes, I just love this game so i hope that you will make some updates soon!:)

  2. Adam says:

    When Tilt to Live first came out, we expanded the crap out of it. Now that Outwitters is our new baby, we plan to do the same thing for it. So sorry, we don’t have any plans to return to Tilt to Live right now.

  3. derp says:

    no 2nd gen support? D:

  4. duki says:

    NO, I love Tilt TO Live.

  5. Mr. K says:

    I would download this game but it’s too large >_<

  6. P Brewer says:

    Great job on the game. It is quite fun. The fog of war makes for some interesting strategies.

    On the soundtrack, how will you handle themes for new teams?

  7. Adam says:

    @Brewer: I have no idea. We’ll figure something out.

    Hello I am a big fan of your work.
    I think I noticed a bug in Outwitters but I am not sure if it is a bug. When I used my Scrambler to hypnotize a Bombshell that was in mortar cannon mode, the Bombshell stayed at a health of 3.

  9. Bahn says:

    Loving this game!! I’m such a Tilter I wasn’t sure I would. You guys rock!

    Gaming issue: I launched a 1v1 League game and we each played a round, my opponent started. I was then waiting for their turn and got a ‘Invited’ banner with a decline button below. Is this for 2v2? I couldn’t join, it kept crashing the game. So I eventually just declined. This could be used as a way to get out of games you’re loosing. FYI.
    I’m playing about 6-7 ppl right now, no other issues to report.

    Cheers!

  10. JayWon says:

    There needs to be a very apparent distinguishable contrast between YOUR TURN and THEIR TURN.

  11. Diggitfireball says:

    This game is so awesome! Strategy swag! Wheres that plant team that was in some of the first pictures for outwitters?
    I was looking forward to seeing them!

  12. Porktree says:

    Great game, I’m really enjoying it. Will you be tweaking the UI? I’m the kind of player that makes mistakes and want me some undo. And it’d be neat to go game to game if there are multiple active games :). Whatever, I’ve already bought the everything pack :). Thanks again for all the fun.

  13. TheOddOne says:

    Enjoying it to no end! Only problem so far (other than a few random crashes at when starting new games) is that I get bombarded with notifications that it’s my turn. Several per game. As I have ~10 games going… I thought my phone was going to melt from the sheer number of notification sounds trying to play simultaneously.

    Even with that (as it is somewhat entertaining), awesome work.

  14. JayWon says:

    I’m having a hard time connecting with my friends on game center

  15. Arsenal says:

    Will you make it available to play on iPod 2G?

  16. Harti says:

    @Arsenal:
    It wouldn’t be able to run fluently on iPod 2G.

  17. Arsenal says:

    @Harti
    iPod 2G’s only go to version 4.2.1 and Outwitters only supports 4.3 and higher.

  18. Amy says:

    I wish I could delete games when the other person stops responding.. I can’t resign if it’s not my turn so I’m basically stuck. I’ve got 20 games going and no turns… I can’t play the game 🙁

  19. Swagato says:

    I’ve been waiting forever for this game to be released!! Loved tilt to live and this with IAP but noticed some problems…..
    PLEASE FIX/ADD:
    1)!!spawn Blocking when enemy is own spawn point is very over powered!!
    2) time limit on players that refuse to move when loosing
    3) Crash Bug-making or joining game
    4) ability to delete completed games
    5)AI mode- ( with Game Center achievements…loved sarcastic achievements in TTL)
    6) Bluetooth Multiplayer 
    7) Lightning Mode
    8) Glitch where map orientation is reversed

  20. Harti says:

    @Arsenal:
    Guess why 4.3 is not available for iPod 2G… I think because its hardware just isn’t good enough (so it would lag if you managed to install it anyhow) 🙂

  21. Hamses says:

    It is known.

  22. zytz says:

    game crashes whenever I click on a a when it’s not my turn if the chat has been used

  23. ravitejaj says:

    superb effort guys, huge fan of tilt to live and was pleasantly surprised by how addicting this game has become..few things though ,
    1) multiplayer games crash on accepting invites.. those games disappeared entirely now..
    2)and whats the time limit for auto forfeit? annoying when players dont play league games for days..
    3)it would be great if you add some sort of AI component or local multiplayer modes with wifi or bluetooth
    4)gotta go someone killed my sniper.

  24. Drainar says:

    @Adam
    So you won’t update TTL for a while because of Outwitters but if you had more ideas to add to TTL, will there be a possible update?i’m asking that because I have a few friends playing with me, whenever we play we are always saying “yeah they should add this or this…”. So if your looking for ideas, you can ask your followers on Facebook and then select the best ideas. It would attract more people if more content was added 🙂

  25. Fleshman says:

    Hy there,
    I just downloaded your new game, and its awesome!!!
    But, i just find out, there is no achievements, why??

    Also in 2v2, i can’t check my teammate’s unit movement.
    Thats a big tactical failure, plz fix it.

  26. Ethan says:

    Hey great game but couple things…

    As soon as the enemy sees they are going to lose whats to stop them from not making a move? Theyre should be a 2 day or something time between moves limit and if you dont move in 2 days then you lose. Also I think theyre should be an engineer who can repair your base. Have him never spawn on the map, worth 5-7 wits move and see like a soldier, cant attack, and rebuilds the base by 1 pt. But if he moves he cant repair and if he repairs he cant move. And instead of keeping the win/lose games on the current games screen we should just have an overall record for league games and for fun games.

  27. Chuck says:

    Please, please, please add something for people that stop taking turns when they know their beat. I have 4 games just sitting there, that I have won, but the other guy won’t take his turn.

  28. Np says:

    Please add AI and bluetooth multiplayer! Would make this game amazing

  29. QuantumApocalypse says:

    @Ethan, at the moment, there is a 7 day period for them to make their turn. After that, they forfeit automatically.

    @NP, the AI has been discussed a lot, and it won’t make an appearance in the game. Think of it like making an AI for chess. Complicated huh? But wait, there’s more. In chess, you can do one move and one move only in chess, with the pieces only being able to go a set direction.

    Outwitters has a multitude of units, all of which can move to a vast amount of spaces on a vast array of maps. Further, there are the complications of ‘should I capture the wit space or not’. THEN, you don’t even HAVE to move each turn, so you could save up. Now I don’t think anyone has made a good AI for anything similar to this. If they have, it can’t have been done quickly 😛

    So yeah. The game has a whole bunch of depth that can only be understood properly by another person really.

  30. Johannes Wolf says:

    Hi there,
    i like this game, and play it with a friend of me. We need…
    – Twitterintegration (to find people and make it more actrative)
    – an Map-Editor (maybe for 2,99 $) to crate own maps and maybe download maps from other players
    – german language
    – less wits for the first player (the person who starts wins, has 5 wits more than the other player – or make it possible that when your building is destroyed u have the opinion to destroy the other one too – for a tie)

    Thanks for creating

  31. Sleazy D says:

    Why do the character packs cost so much?
    I am thinking of getting the über pack but, how many more packs will you bring out?

  32. Sasha says:

    Love the game, but the notifications seem to be malfunctioning. I get notification saying my turn, but go to game and it’s still the other person turn, even if I keep refreshing, and for games it is my turn on, I don’t get notification.

  33. Nick says:

    Ok, so I’ve played the pass and play version but have not been able to play any others because it will not access Game Center. On the home screen it just shows a loading circle next to the bar that states “online games require gamecenter”. I’ve reset my device (Ipad 2), deleted the game and all data and reinstalled and tried to refresh it several times but still simply see the loading circle. What can I do to access online play?

    Thanks

  34. Nick says:

    Nevermind, ignore the above comment figured it out! Thanks!

    So how often should we expect new character packs?

  35. Adam says:

    I think the game is so awesome but maybe you could add vs computer if that’s possible so you can train your skills offline and some suggestions for new team packs are Medival stuff like knights and wizards or maybe a ninja pack
    These are just some ideas but I still think this game is awesome
    Also I am not Adam I am a different adam

  36. tony says:

    I loved tilt to live. After outwitters came out, I bought the supreme pack straightaway to support TtL if for nothing else. However, I just don’t feel that same connection with this game than the one with tilt to live. It’s a fun game, and is already destroying my social life, but there just seems to be something missing…
    Right now, I think there needs to be a very obvious indication on whether you are red or blue during the start of every replay. Other than that, keep polishing the game, and I have faith that you guys can ruin my life all over again!

  37. Avenged110 says:

    Any chance of the music and themes from the beta being released? (I already know the answer, but asking can’t hurt…)

  38. Its says one of my matches turns was taken on another device and I don’t have another device.. I don’t want to lose over a stalemate. It’s only once so I don’t really care that much just thought I’d let ur guys know.. Love the game. I’ll write a meaty review once I’ve played for a week or so. Thanx

  39. maenk says:

    an undo buton would come in handy…
    apart from that,great game

  40. Some Child says:

    Just thought I’d let you guys know that I think this is a very nice game, I enjoy how you actually keep us updated in the news section. Good to see some customer interactive-ness, doesn’t come with most games! 🙂

  41. Jason says:

    I got max games running and no one is making a move . This is a big. Problem what am I supposed to do . Gets me so Angry . You should make quick game matches with a short response time and every time you don’t respond you lose wits and or something. Or be able to surrender friendly games aswell and get rid of all the wins at the top of the game list thats an eye sour and unpractical

  42. Same as the other guy^ says:

    FIRST I LOVE THIS GAME! – I get excited when I get the notification that it’s my move Haha 😛

    However!! …. It’s been hours and no one wants to move -.-

    So a suggestion to the mastermind of this game.

    #1) Ever played draw-something? (I know.. Talking about a different game is blasphemy… Yet a good example) is it possible to locate our friends from fb and play with them? That way I can hound them when they take ages to move. Also.. We get to play with friends 😀 (I don’t use game centre much)

    #2) instead of a 7 DAY WAIT TO FORFIET (get bored, get annoyed or like that guy ^ get angry) PERIOD could you adjust it so if they don’t move in 2 Days they miss a turn and forfiet there “witts”? (lol) … Problem solved
    I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR 20 strangers to resign in 7 days

    Hate to see a great game come so close to legendary glory and then fall short because of lil easy fixes… Thank me later 🙂

  43. Updates says:

    You should make more characters and maps for outfitters

  44. Jason says:

    I played 2 turns in total of my 20 games today . This is ridiculous

  45. Nhype says:

    Just leaving this message to thank you for this amazing game and every update you are doing to it. Hope to see new maps and content soon.

  46. DoyoFroyo says:

    1. Sometimes this app crashes. Sometimes a lot.
    2. I was playing for a little bit, then I updated to 5.1.1, and I had to reinstall the game. Now when I try to take a turn on a game, it says I have to finish it on another device; ergo I lose on games that I was about to win on.
    3. Bigger maps. The teleporters bring a sniper right to my front door and I know I’m a goner.
    4. This game is forever crippled without an A.I. Mode, which I’m sure is coming.

  47. Simon says:

    I love this game!

    My 2 cents:
    • make the special 6wits instead of 7. I feel no one uses the specials enough
    • make a character that drops hidden mines
    • a bigger map
    • make a character that can create barriers!
    • keep doing what you’re doing. Much love

  48. Ethan says:

    After finding out who was number 1 in my league (I’m in the gifted league hard nose division) I sent out a friendly challenge to see if I could beat him. It was close and I did beat him by blocking my base with a soldier on the last move so he couldn’t destroy my base on his last turn. Now Im not that far ranked behind him (I’m 20) I do believe that there should be a challenge feature where you can challenge members in your division for points. If I’m 20 and I challenge a 1 and lose I should lose more points than if I were 1 and I lost so the 1 has a reason to accept. Also once every month there should be a quick-draw tournament where it Puts the 100 members in your division into a bracket split into 4 so it’s basically a tournament that lasts a week where you play as a tournament against people in your division.

  49. JacobH says:

    What a wonderfully fun game you have created.
    Love the cross device playing avalible though GameCenter.
    This is a great game that takes time- everyone on here wants a “quick” game- but this is like chess guys. Take some time and enjoy playing multiple games.

    I haven’t been shafted on any games yet with someone not moving. But if they do- I can wait for the week for the game to forfeit for them. It’s a reasonable time.

    Look forward to the updates. I’m sure there will be more amazing characters, maps, and maybe even game play types. (Capture the Flag)

    Until then. I am very excited to see where the game goes and I will have all my friends playing!!

  50. Jason says:

    I was happy to hear about the good news yesterday about the forfeitting of games be changed from 7 to 4 days. But it seems like it hasn’t taken effect yet i have a games with 5 days on them. Oh btw great game sorry about all the rants

  51. Tyler says:

    Its been past 4 days and I still haven’t won 7 games

  52. QuantumApocalypse says:

    They should expire within the next day, and shouldn’t go further.

  53. maenk says:

    hi,I think i found a glich;when I connect to game centre,the game crashes…i re installed but still happens…any idea

  54. maenk says:

    well…it was a server thing…

  55. duki says:

    wow, I made only 3 turns and I won the matche.

  56. Skaught2727 says:

    I’m in the top 3 in my tier for the “gifted” league for the past 2-3 days. Is there a way I can be bumped up a league?

  57. Skaught2727 says:

    Completely amazing game btw. Literally have been playing for 3 days straight since I find it.

    Also, one more comment/suggestion. The special 7 wit shell dude, forget the name, can you make some confirmation button about deploying him? I always “tap” the character to deselect them, but I forget with the shell dude and end up wasting two wits and a chance to attack by taking him out of the shell and then having to redeploy him. I’ve noticed opponents made this mistake a few times too.

  58. Brandon says:

    Hey guys love this game and i can say i’ve found nothing wrong but when i finish a game i can’t clear it so i’d like that plus keep throwing new character packs out there!

  59. Adam says:

    Perfect game but they should die when they are on the spawn point or when it’s been 2 turns or something because that’s a cruel and unfair strategy

  60. Nick says:

  61. DoyoFroyo says:

    Since perfecting my crouch-in-the-enemy’s-blindspots-and-attack-them-when-ready technique, I’ve really wanted a character that can run in and disrupt an enemy’s defense/wall of soldiers. Couldn’t a high attack/ low defense character be created? Something with decent mobility(3 spots), low health (1), and the special ability to attack twice per turn. A character like that would immensly help in speeding up games of attrition.

  62. Someone21 says:

    I want to know what instruments were used to create the main theme music. And yes, I AM responding to an old post.

  63. Adam says:

    I actually don’t know the answer to that. You’d have to ask our composer Mike at REdVOLT audio: redvoltaudio.com
