I've submitted Scrappy Cat to the App store. Should be live in a week or so, if Apple is in a good mood.

must have been lots of work, but really gives a tough feel of meat boy

You would also need a Windows 8.1 computer and a Windows Phone to test on

Only minor thing i think is the walking back past checpoints and having to jump the spikes to turn back around. Happens a lot (if your a bit crap like me) and can use up all your lives. Seems like you could just let people hit a wall and turn back, feels slightly like being punished twice for a single mistake. But again very minor thing, overall its great
Find its super hard to balance my game as im so used to it, did you get many people to test?

@vyh77 for this game I chose a royalty free tune from http://www.melodyloops.com. Takes a little patience to find a good tune, there is so much stuff online. For Miner Z all music is custom made and exclusive, let me know if you want to get in touch with the composer.
@jdbc, if people like the iOS version I'll definitely port it to Android.
@billydb, yeah that's a good point. I wanted you to feel on your toes until you clear the level, so I chose to stick spikes there mostly for that reason. But also because when I tried to block the entrance with a friendly box, Scrappy sometimes got stuck on some Box2D invisible seam.
@john26 and @yubaro, thanks! Yeah, I used Box2D. It saves time to leave collision detection to a solid engine and just crack on with the game. On the face of it it's quite a simple implementation with no dynamic objects in there apart from Scrappy, only static and kinematic. The connected levels is quite neat though, loading and discarding json loaded levels on the fly to keep cpu and memory happy. I make the levels in RUBE.

I just see Gideros with RUBE here:
http://www.iforce2d.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=240
https://bitbucket.org/BigWinston/girube/src
But i also want to know how @tobeto use RUBE with Gideros too
@talis, @jdbc, @vitalitymobile: I've coded a bridge between RUBE and Gideros I call RubeScene. It takes JSON files as exported from RUBE and creates the world, bodies, fixtures and some of the joints. I customize this class for each project because of the custom variables in RUBE. It was a hack initially, but for Scrappy it's actually not too bad. At some point I may strip it down to create a generic class that's extendable (and clean up the code so it's presentable and doesn't require my haphazard brain to use it
In case anyone was interested.. there is a fantastic collision engine called Bump (https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua). I would suggest you have a look if you want a simple collision engine that doesn't need physics or the overhead of box2d. I'm experimenting with it now and it seems pretty cool.
