    Hi Guys,

    Our new game Drop The Chicken 2 is launching early next week. We are a team of 2 really dedicated guys who have been building the sequel ourselves after hours for the last 2 years. Lots of late nights and tears went into this one and we are really proud of it.




    YOUR MISSION
    Our hero 'Chuck The Chicken' has been captured by the circus's evil monkey ring master and he must perform his way through each of the levels to win his girlfriend back.

    Use awesome new tools and animated circus characters to cunningly plan Chuck's journey to the dive pool while catching all the bugs along the way. Drag the tools into place, swipe the switch and watch Chuck bounce off elephants, shoot out of cannons, do a trapeze act with monkey's and fly around the levels. Be sure to avoid the bombs, fire torches, lions and unicycle-riding, juggling bears along the way.

    It's not going to be easy! This is one of the most challenging and fun puzzle games on the store. There is no time limit, just awesome puzzles and weeks of entertainment!

    KEY FEATURES
    • Exclusive to IOS and Apple
    • 100 mind-blowing levels over 5 stages with more to come
    • 5 bonus levels - Where Chuck has the chance to have a feeding frenzy
    • Gamecenter, leader boards & stacks of achievements

    @triggywiggy, nice one let me know if we can use it on twitter, it's smart and it ties in well.

    Chuck is also so awesome that he can order a whopper at McDonald's. He is a pretty amazing chicken!

    You need to try it... I remember played that a long time ago, and have so much fun with that... It's one of the best puzzle physic game on the App Store beside Cut The Rope.


    Anyway I'm definitely grab this since its been along time I rarely play puzzle game

    Thanks Coaeci

    Thanks Coaeci, really appreciate hearing from you, we've worked so hard on the sequel, great to here you think DTC1 was one of the best physics games on the App store, the second one is even better we have completely redone all the physics for this version so it's much more exciting to play, nd I've gone overboard with the animation this time, there are crazy animals all through it that you get to interact with.

    wah... why not on Thursday? Apple refresh their first AppStore homepage every Friday.. That's why so many developer choose Thursday as the best release day for better chance to get feature. Still, best of luck for your game... Don't forget to send press release to many game website such as TouchArcade, AppSpy, Pocket Gamer, Gamezebo, and more

    Good luck for your game, dev... can't wait to get my hands on :)

    Actually the Thursday releases aren't chosen. They are ones which dev have submitted games to Apple and asked for the earliest release. Apple then release them over the timezones starting in NZ and picking up at 12am around the world.

    Eh? I think developer can choose the release day that they want once their app got submitted, reviewed, and approved.. then they can choose the date to release their game. NZ is the first country which get the earliest release since it's GMT +12, that's why it counted as Wednesday night in several countries like Indonesia (GMT +7), but in other country such as USA, it counted as thursday

    Monday is the day

    Hi Copaeci,

    Nar Monday is the best day for sure. Gives the app 4 days to build momentum and prove itself before apple refresh the features list. Also monday is the slowest day of the week for downloads so a few hundred on a monday can boost you right up the charts more quickly than on a weekend or towards the end of the week. That's our experience anyway, let hope it's valid. We've put nearly 3 years work into this one and it's huge risk but it's been a lot of fun to build.

    Yeah developers can definitiely set their own release date. True that apps launch first in New Zealand and then release everywhere else as midnight rolls through the timezones.

    Tough World Out There

    Thanks Roger, appreciate the well wishes. Hoping it makes something, it;s hard to work on something for 2 years with no guarantees, but it's been a lot of fun either way. The sequel is much better than the first one, hope you enjoy it.:)
