Pay for My Brute on iPhone or not?

At the moment there is two versions of my brute. One on the internet open to all players and it is free... and another on iphone, different from the web version and includes more features.
It is written on Bulkypix site that "Players start from scratch (the game is not connected to the online version) and try to become the strongest Brute in the world." So, it is understood that they use /used the web game as a big advertisement for themselves and it seems that they left it to death...



This is taken from alexa:


Mybrute.com is still a top 500 site but it is dropping down. As no new features are included on the web based game people become bored of it. Finding pupils is not as easy as before, when you lvl up it is more hard to gain more experience points so even you fight everyday it takes months to reach to the next level. So it need some urgent touches to the game. But bulkyfix invests on iPhone version;


On iPhone My Brute allows you to:

• - Create and personalise up to 8 brutes.
• - Invite other players to become your pupils.
• - Open your own dojo and find yourself a master worthy of this title.
• - Fight up to 5 opponents a day.
• - Discover and master more than 70 skills and weapons.
• - Unlock up to 8 battle arenas
• - Have discussions with other players from around the world via Open Feint
• - Challenge your friends on Facebook Connect
• - New chat rooms

The Bulkypix and Motion Twin team has been working for several months to adapt MyBrute to the iPhone and iPod Touch, to create a new competition and offer regular and exclusive content for this version.

After releasing My Brute on 2009-06-05 for iPhone and iTouch, they released My Brute Lite on 2009-06-25. My Brute Lite includes those features:

My Brute Lite is easy to access and allows you to:

• - Open your own dojo.
• - Fight up to 3 opponents a day.
• - Discover and master more than 70 skills and weapons.
• - Have discussions with other players from around the world via Open Feint
• - Challenge your friends on Facebook Connect

As a result Bulkypix represents you 3 choises now:
You can play 5 fights with more features by paying 3.99€ or 4.99$;
You can play 3 fights with more features free;
You can play 3 fights with old features.

The choise is yours but it seems the web game seems to be dying... However, to gain pupils in iPhone you need to wait other people to pay for it also. Even in free version My Brute Lite you need to pay for 3.0 operating system.

My Brute sees 260,000 fights in three days on iPhone

by Spanner Spencer

Last Friday, French developer Bulkypix released the iPhone adaptation of the web game phenomenon, My Brute. The web game lands itself 1.7 million hits per day (literally and statistically) and it seems many of those players also own an iPhone or iPod touch.

Apparently My Brute on the iPhone has seen a whopping 260,000 fights, prompting Bulkypix to launch an online ranking system to determine whose kung fu is best.

"We are really excited to see that My Brute is a huge success with more than 260 000 fights done past 3 days," explains Bulkypix CEO Vincent Dondaine. "Reviews on different App Stores are looking great. For example, in France we have more than 600 ratings with an average of 5 stars."

My Brute allows you to create your own dojo customise your fighters (iPhone-ka?) and then pit them against other players in an RPG-style combat arena. The more students your dojo gains, the more goodies and techniques your fighters learn.

The ranking system shows both the top 25 individual Brutes, and the 25 hottest performing dojos across the world. The next My Brute update will make the leaderboards available within the game, so you can watch your chi rise as you fight.

"It's amazing to see how fast people have started to talk about the game across the internet, as they try to find new pupils," says Dondaine. "The community has started to thrive on the iPhone, and we'll be bringing regular new content to make everyone happy."

IPHONE GAME REVIEW


by Spanner Spencer


I've been practising kung fu for about 25 years, studying a variety of disciplines, swinging a host of different weapons, and taking more punches than I care to count. Out of all the different styles I've studied and lessons I've learned, the truth I've come to realise about martial arts is that they're essentially very simple: you just have to practice them diligently for a very long time.

Master Liang He Qing summarised kung fu in one quick and accurate phrase: "There are no secrets. Practice, practice, practice."

My Brute fits Master Liang's doctrine perfectly. At first glance this rather unusual fighting game boasting role-playing elements seems shallow and uninvolved. 1.7 million players having already toyed with a free web version, however, suggests hidden depth to this unique title.

Your quest for martial prowess begins with the creation of your own personalised character. You can tweak variables like gender, clothing, hairstyle, accessories and a bunch of other aesthetic elements to ensure that no two brutes look the same.

More important than looks is the style of pseudo-kung fu in which you choose to enroll. There are three different styles to choose from, which form the basis of the fighting moves your character learns in their martial career.

The role-playing aspects are a little more prevalent than the fighting, which is an automated system based on the abilities and experience of your character - not unlike the automatic turn-based combat scene in classical Japanese role-playing games. Your task, therefore, is to guide your Brute's growth through careful training and, as Master Liang says, practice, practice, practice.

Each day your character can take part in up to five different bouts, fought asynchronously against other people's Brutes from around the world that are of a similar experience level. You'll win some and lose plenty, but lessons and experience and gained from both. You pick up new special moves, weapons, and even animal sidekicks to enhance your kung fu style through daily training.

Your experience and prowess are also enhanced as other My Brute players join your dojo and you become a student of other people's disciplines. Doing so unlocks new arenas, weapons, characters, and a host of other goodies depending on the skills of the dojo's sensei.

This social aspect of My Brute is very similar to the range of online mafia games that are so popular on the iPhone, only with a much richer, and perhaps a little more seamless, graphical interface.

There's no denying that it takes a little while for My Brute's colours to shine through, but once they do you'll be checking in on your dojo as regularly as you check your email. It's a quick game - jump in, throw a flurry of kicks and punches, then jump back out - it demands that you practise regularly (meaning every day, ideally) to master your martial craft.

Each character might be restricted to just five fights per day, which doesn't take long to get through, but you are at least able to create up to eight different fighters in your dojo, and their individual evolutions will be quite unique since it's very much based on the opponents they face.

It's also worth pointing out to fans of the online web-based game that French developer Bulkypix has put together a superb, pixel-perfect adaptation for the iPhone. Obviously the online multiplayer aspects are fully retained, though it's a completely separate system to the web game, with no interaction between them.

My Brute begins life on your iPhone as a very basic, uninspiring showcase of cartoon combat, growing through diligent practice into a surprisingly addictive and tensely entertaining game. Remember Master Liang's doctrine and before you know it your virtual dojo will rival the Shaolin Temple.

What is Known to be Wrong in My Brute ?

1- If you fight with lower levels you gain 1 xp point! WRONG

You can gain 2xp points if you fight with brutes at most 2 levels lower than you.
ex. if you you are 8th level, you can fight with 7th and 6th level brutes to gain 2xp. If you fight with a 5th level brute than there is no choise other than getting 1 xp ^^

2- If you fight with better opponents you gain more weapons or skills! WRONG

Your brutes future is fixed when it is created. What ever you do in the game you cannot change it.
You can have a look at here to read more about this issue: Future of Your Brute.

3- More pupils more power! WRONG

More pupils can bring power if only they are created with different IPs, otherwise they wont help anything

4- Posting in the forums asking for pupils can bring me more pupils! WRONG

Unless people who are giving you pupils reset their modem and flash cache the pupils they create wont help to you gaining points.

5- If I join to a powerful clan I'll be more powerful! WRONG

Clan system is not working as other games until they have a good communication out of game. If the clan members can create pupils to each other then they can have pretty power.

6- I can/cant get a bear and wolf (panther) by being pupil to a brute who has a bear or wolf! WRONG (?)

You can not say anything about this sytem as it works randomly, but you can try your chance.
I made over 100 pupils to my brute (who has a dog atm and who is going to have a bear on 50th level) and none had the same atributes with him... But they had dogs mostly.
I tried it with a brute who has a wolf, and the same, only 2 wolfs from a possible 50 pupils...
I tried it with a brute who has a bear, and the same, none had the bear option even in near future.
It is totally luck ;)

Beginning

My Brute is a flash based arena fighting game. Players create "brutes" and fight other players to gain experience and equipment. You can compete in tournaments and join clans. When you go up to the next level you gain new weapons, skills, and pets (to learn more about levels table click here).
The more powerful you are the more you have fun from the game. When you have more power you can reach to higher qualifications in the tournament and your “brute” is going to be more famous. What is the most important point in My Brute is where you start from. When you enter the main site “mybrute.com” you’ll face with a welcome screen asking you to fill your name and personalize your brute. There is nothing wrong here, you can go, create yourself a brute and live happily with playing it. When you first create a brute you can choose 6 opponents to fight in the arena. After you make 6 fights you can only have 3 fights per day in the arena. Every win against an opponent is going to give you 2 experience points. Every loss is going to give 1 experience point. In your first 6 fight if you can face with brutes that are less powerful than you are, then you can go to level 3 directly by gaining 12 experience points in total. By going up in levels you are going to get some features that are going to make you more powerful than others…

Now let’s have a look to these features:
