The game is set for submission to Apple for approval this week. See a video of Super Ramen Bros in action after the break. Granted, it's not the most complex or beautiful game out there, but it's quite an achievement given the incredibly short development schedule. It's also much better than our twenty-four hour game design attempt, Ball in a Cup. Turns out that one is almost impossible if you don't have any string lying around.
Super Ramen Bros: An iPhone game made in 24 hours

Last week, Alex Schwartz of GTProductions had a brilliant little idea: Take game design ideas from readers and then develop said ideas into a full iPhone game within a single day. After fishing for ideas based on "absurdity," the company settled on Super Ramen Bros, which features two packages of ramen trying to escape the grim fate of being scanned at the supermarket and subsequently consumed (probably by college students). Twenty-four coding and designing hours later, and the team had a fully crafted game, thanks to plenty of help from the community.

I think a game based on hamburger earmuffs would have been cooler. You just have to grapple with the pickle matrix...

Hamburger Earmuffs? Really? Everyone knows the hip new trend is Churro Straws.

OK, before you starting telling others about this game, it's pronounced rah-men, not ray-men.

incredibly decent for a game developed in a day. all those 3d shapes. Then again, I speak from no experience in game creating, so I have no idea how much work goes into this, So my words mean really nothing in criticism. Unless of course they want an ignorant commenter applauding their decent work, then, I applaud .

Better than half the games out so far, but that's not really saying much.
