History

When we first started Rocket 5 we were making lots of small games and apps as a way to test out the app store market and to get our feet wet as indies. Giant Moto was made entirely by Tim Miller and was the second app that we released on the Apple App Store. The game was well received and was featured by Apple on several different occasions including "Hot New Games" and "Best Racing Games". Since the initial release, Giant Moto has been updated a few times with new features like leaderboards/achievements (which were subsequently removed after the OpenFeint debacle), retina/hd graphics support, improved controls and refreshed UI. Free versions of the game were also created for the Apple App Store and Google Play.
