if i had my tablet/cintiq on hand i would have drawn something funny here...
You guys rock the casbah! Apparently we have struck some sort of deep Freudian chord in which many are having a good time with!
As you could imagine, having lived our entire lives thinking we were the only ones crippled with such thoughts, it is a huge relief knowing we aren’t the only ones who get a kick out of this kind of stuff!
Beyond the success we are seeing in iTunes, we also want to take the time to brief everyone on the latest update and what our tenuous plans for the future entail!
As of this morning 1.1 has been sent up to the Apple mothership and pending approval will get to iTunes in a few days. This update includes minor changes like the ability to resume at stage 4 if you at any timed died in stages 4 or 5. There is also a new tutorial animation that should clear up some obscure features that people who got bored with the two text screens skipped. We have also recompiled the game on a newer code base so there should be some slight performance enhancements!
For the free version we are also opening up the scope of the download to 3 waves of stage 1 with access to both the Bearzooka and Unicorn Crossbow! Right now our free version seems to be comically polarizing, so hopefully this should help out our bowl curve.
From this point on we are working on the much more robust 1.5 update! This will include new weapons, and game types among other things so keep checking in! As we move forward, we will update this page and the forums and Twitter/Facebook with bits of news, polls and questions!
We can’t yet offer a time table for this update but bear (+1) with us and we will get it to you ASAP! Thank you again for supporting the BATTLE BEARS mission. Leave No Bear Behind.
