The previous version of Volotic had a bug that resulted in a child crying. Hopefully this version will not make any children cry. If you ever see or hear a crying child, it is probably because they need to update their apps. Also, I updated a bunch of under-the-hood stuff and hopefully didn't break every single thing. ### 1.0.10 — 2016-03-22 • Lots of internal updates that hopefully made things better instead of worse. • New Portal towers in Plus Mode—beats entering any "A" tower will emerge from all "B" towers and vice versa. • New Pattern towers in Plus Mode—these towers pass or block beats according to a set pattern. • I made the thing that asks for money slightly more annoying. Sorry. I need money to buy food and socks. Please note: This release of Volotic is perfect and there are no bugs or shortcomings. If you find any bugs or shortcomings, they were probably added maliciously by the FBI through a secret backdoor. ### 1.0.6 — 2016-01-27 So many new things that I've almost certainly broken something… • iPhone support! Now Volotic can be tiny and live in your pocket. • Plus Mode, with dozens of new towers, save functionality and more on the way. • If you purchased save functionality in the past, you get Plus Mode free. • Bug fixes, refactoring, optimizations, performance tweaks and all of the other stuff you see in every App Store update. In return for all of these changes I ask that you… • Call your mom. • Clean up the crumbs on the counter. • Rate and review Volotic. • Check out my other work at www.scottmadethis.net. ### 0.5.1 — 2015-12-19 Updates and enhancements under the hood. Groundwork for upcoming new features. ### 0.4.8 — 2015-11-03 • Internal updates and optimizations. • Fixes for iOS9. ## Apps similar to Volotic | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [AmoebaSynth](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/amoebasynth/id6753363933) | — | Free | Music | | [Textquencer Sequencer & Synth](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/textquencer-sequencer-and-synth/id1661316322) | 4.6 (7) | $4.99 | Music | | [KQ MiniSynth Legacy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kq-minisynth-legacy/id1070850573) | 4.8 (24) | $9.99 | Music | | [Beat DJ - Music Machine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/beat-dj-music-machine/id6753138543) | — | Free | Music | | [Crystalline - Shimmer Echo FX](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crystalline-shimmer-echo-fx/id859121707) | 5.0 (3) | $4.99 | Music | | [Harmonic Explorer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/harmonic-explorer/id6747025974) | — | $0.99 | Music | ## More apps by SGARNER LLC - [Ostinato](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ostinato/id1057338749) All apps by SGARNER LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/511526207 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
