Does anyone mind if I theorize the controls for Rockfish?

Now, when I first saw the control layout for both landscape and portrait views, I thought to myself, "Man, that looks awkward. In portrait, I have to squeeze my large hands into such a small space, and in portrail, my entire left thumb will be moving like this awful control layout." It wasn't until today when I had my "Aha!" moment and figured out how tho move the character. So, first things first:
Not all of the buttons on the left side of the screen will be used.
I figured this out by looking at the picture that had a picture of the gameplay, which had the left and right movement buttons highlighted, and the landscape picture with the up and down movement buttons highlighted while the menu was onscreen. If it wasn't obvious enough, left and right will be used to moved, and up and down will select the options/chose anything onscreen.
And now for the guesses:
Button 1 swims as well as flop, jump, etc.
Button 2 shoots the laser.
As for button 3, it might be unlocked later in the game. It might not exist because the portrait picture is a contradiction.
Menu does what it says. It brings up te menu.

So, that's what might go on. It might change in the future.

Anyways, does anybody have a good timescale on when this could be released? I heard that it may be released sometime around Christmas, or possibly in the summer.
When this does come out, I might show some pictures of the game. It probably will be a bit more difficult than it actually is, because the sleep button for my device is kind of jammed, but it won't be very difficult.

The backgrounds look really snazzy and the new sprites are nifty
I guess I'll have to get the actual thing if I want to see Ame's sprite.

Oh wait I don't have an iphone...

What happened to Rockfish?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Pixel's Development Page'] Not to say it back to Rockfish.[/QUOTE]
I assume that means: Not that I have to say it, but back to working on Rockfish.

Yay?

Actually, it has been released in Japan, but not in the US yet.
Here it is anyway, in case it has been released in some other country.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Azarachi is available outside of Japan. Just go to his website over here on the top of the page and click on your preferred language. Now, I have not tested it for other countries, but I do know that it works in America.

If you are not living in Japan, then change the country by clicking at the flag in the bottom-right corner, and scroll down to Japan. Oh, yeah. Don't expect this to work with purchases. It may be better to wait for this when it comes out in your country.

The game is available for 85 Yen in Japan.

Azarashi is on the Canadian App Store as well. Downloading as I type.
EDIT: So fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.... Here, have some screenies!
diph.php

Normal seal is, obviously, the first keychain you have. If you get 1200-1299 points, the seal with glasses becomes one of your keychains. When you get 1300-???? points, Ame becomes a keychain. There may be more, I am not sure.
diph.php

The cans of food are for when you get less then 1000 points. You get the bronze Ame statue when you get 1000-1099. You get the silver Ame statue with 1100-1199 points. The gold statue is when you get 1200-1299 points, and the fully coloured statue for 1300-???? points. I do not know what the other boxes are.

I downloaded the game, it's $0.99 but it's a fun and challenging fast paced game that could entertain me for hours.

So, if you couldn't tell, Pixel updated his site a while ago, and it looks very snazzy.
One of the major changes was that he made three separate development blogs:
3. Rockfish post Azarachi iPhone
2. Azarachi iPhone
1. Rockfish pre-Azarachi iPhone
As with that, he updated Blog #3 with this:

「あざらし」の開発は Rockfishのそれに比べて楽しかった。
Rockfish の開発の方向性も変えてみようと思う。

"Seal" the development of fun compared to that of Rockfish.
Let's also think changing the direction of development of Rockfish

Remeber what I said about button.png in Azarachi? What you see in the bottom half is what the file is in a nutshell.
